Let's talk about self-esteem. It plays a huge role in how we see ourselves. When it's low, it can feel like our worth and value are constantly under attack. That negative self-talk? It can become a real downer, and feelings of shame can creep in way too often.
Low self-esteem can seep into every corner of your life, affecting your well-being in surprising ways. Because of its significant impact, seeking help from a professional can be incredibly beneficial.
Signs of unhealthy self-esteem can include:
Is low self-esteem causing you to feel down on yourself?
Unhealthy self-esteem can evolve from a place of uncertainty, fragility, and lack of protectiveness.
Individual experiences may differ, but some common threads emerge, such as:
Why does low self-esteem occur?
disapproval from authority figures or parents
social pressure and comparison
unrealistic goal setting
bullying and academic difficulties
trauma & PTSD
Investing in your self-esteem can equip you with the tools to manage its impact and create a more positive outlook.
Low self-esteem can feel all-encompassing, but it doesn’t have to hold you back.
- Therapy helps you challenge negative beliefs, build resilience, and foster self-acceptance.
- It creates a corrective experience of being accepted instead of feeling rejected.
- Therapy helps establish healthy and solution-focused behavior, including goal setting, problem solving, dealing assertively with others, taking risks for success and building a balanced lifestyle.
