Strengthening Self-Esteem

Let me guess…

It is very easy to blame and criticize yourself when things get tough and difficult.

You think that it is all your fault. You think if you were strong, you would have been able to get through this. You would cope with the issue in a better way.

You feel insecure about yourself, and you don’t feel confident in your abilities.

What happens then…

You don’t believe in yourself.

There is a sense of lack of control.

There is anxiety and worries about the future.

You get afraid and think, “What if it does not work out?” and tend to catastrophize and see things from tunnel vision.

There is also hopelessness about the future.

You try to mask insecurities and vulnerabilities from others. In doing that, you get further down and hard on yourself and become less compassionate with yourself.

You are not a priority for you.

You stop listening to your mind and body.

You are not assertive – you have difficulty saying no to others.

Constantly apologizing to others, you don’t stand up for yourself.

There is a lack of self-respect, and you continually reprimand yourself for the mistakes and cannot seem to forgive yourself.

And we both know how this makes you feel…

Sad.

Hopeless.

Depressed.

Unmotivated.

Frustrated.

Anxious.

You walk around restless, bothered, and disappointed in yourself.

You feel heavy in your body because you’re always carrying a burden.

Are you caught in that vicious cycle?

You know the one… where you doubt and blame yourself into depression or stagnation… and then you don’t feel like doing the day-to-day stuff you need to do… which makes you even more distressed and likely to doubt and blame yourself more.

I had a client tell me that it feels like she is walking with a heavy mountain on her shoulders and that she has to do daily activities carrying that burden. It is very painful and exhausting.

Therapy can help you break the cycle…

Promoting self-acceptance…

Willingness to be your friend, experience, accept and listen to your emotions, and be compassionate to yourself.

Honouring your needs and wants…

You will learn to advocate for yourself, stand up for your right, be able to say no, recognize that your ideas and wishes are important, and treat yourself with respect.

Taking responsibility…

Choices and actions, personal happiness, values, thinking for yourself, your attitude towards yourself and others.
