Self-concept and self-esteem are examined in several areas, including personal, physical, family, social, academic/work, and moral ethical (Fitts & Warren, 1996).
Self-esteem and addiction go hand in hand. One thing that addicts have in common is low self-esteem even if they appear confident externally. This makes you incredibly vulnerable to mental health symptoms even if you're not an addict which could cause your life to spiral out of control. It's important for us to target the image that is the cause of the negative beliefs that you have about yourself that possibly stemmed in childhood so that you can reprocess it and see more clearly to reduce negative mental health symptoms and increase your quality of life.

Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Individual, Marriage, and Family Therapist (LMFT)
Self-Esteem is closely connected to our values and behavior. Therapy can help you identify how your daily habits may be breaking down a healthy sense of self and how to replace those habits. Approaches I use to accomplish this work include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic Approaches, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
When we don't see ourselves as valuable and worthy, we limit ourselves. We have a tendency to be our own worst critics and our inside voices are the result of messages we receive from others. Together, we will explore your view of self and how this view came to be, and uncover your innate resiliency.
Through healing our past and cultivating empathy for ourselves and making different choices, people can change their feelings around their own self esteem. In this complex dynamic, it is amazing to see the issues that can shift in people's lives.
