Self-esteem refers to the level of confidence you have in your personal worth and value. Your self-esteem affects how you think, feel, and behave. It informs your overall sense of well-being and how your perceive your intelligence, personality, relationships, and abilities.
When one’s self-esteem is high, they will feel positive about yourself and your place in the world. When one’s self-esteem is low, they may have a negative perception of themselves that leads to shame, self-doubt, and disconnection. They may spend excessive amounts of energy comparing themselves to others, judging themselves, and avoiding activities that draw attention to who they are. They may stop doing activities they once enjoyed or avoid social interactions with others that cause self-doubt. Over time, low self esteem can have a significant impact on work performance and personal relationships, as well as physical and emotional health.
How Self-Esteem Therapy Can Help You!
Low self-esteem can impact all areas of your life, including how you feel about your body, your relationships, and your abilities. Individuals with low self-esteem often find that they are compensating for their beliefs about themselves by trying to impress others or prove their worth. If this sounds familiar, you may notice that you're caught up in cycles of anxiety, perfectionism, or imposter syndrome. As we work together in therapy we will identify the root causes of your low self-esteem so that you can reframe narratives keeping you stuck in self-judgement and disconnection.
