Self Esteem Counseling
How do you talk to yourself? When you’re alone in your thoughts or speak to yourself, are you kind, loving, reassuring, and gentle? Or are you often filled with self-doubt and criticism and often use negative language?
Do you often find yourself struggling in relationships because you feel too inferior and try to please your significant other too much? Or maybe you find it hard to try doing new things because you feel like you can’t do it or you’re not good enough?
How you perceive and value yourselves has a huge impact on your life—more than you know it. Low self-esteem can not only stop you from enjoying life to the fullest; it can also lead to an array of emotional complications, including depression and anxiety. But you can learn how to build self-esteem with therapy.
More about self-esteem
Self-esteem issues arise from stressful or traumatic life experiences such as abusive and judgmental parenting, bullying, relationship problems such as breakups and divorce, and losing your job, among many others.
Positive self-esteem is not developed overnight. Your self-image is a product of years of life experiences starting from your early formative years when our interactions and relationship with people and personal experiences begin to shape our thoughts. Hence, it’s important to catch the problem and learn how to improve your self-esteem before it evolves into more serious mental health problems like depression and eating disorders.
Healthy self-esteem is essential in living a healthy and fulfilling life. If your low self-esteem starts affecting your life, for example, you won’t take that promotion that everyone thinks you deserve because you don’t feel like you do and you don’t believe you can get the job done. Another example would be settling in an abusive relationship because you don’t think you deserve better.
Although low self-esteem is not a mental health condition, it can still affect your life adversely. You don’t have to live with it, and you can certainly live a better life without it.
How can therapy help in improving your self-esteem?
Morning affirmations and other self-empowerment trends go a long way. But to truly improve your self-esteem. You have to be aware of your distorted, self-critical thoughts and then replace them with healthier thinking patterns.

It’s okay to get help.
