Self Esteem
Dr. Nilgun Turkcan Ataoglu, BCT, RDT
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Licensed & Registered Creative Arts Therapist
Self-esteem is not simply about feeling confident or thinking positively about yourself. Sometimes the deeper struggle is that we have learned to measure our worth through achievement, approval, relationships, or how well we meet other people’s expectations.
Over time, we may become very good at being who we think we should be while gradually losing touch with who we actually are.
In therapy, we explore where these beliefs about yourself began, whose expectations you may still be carrying, and the roles you learned to play in order to feel accepted, valued, or loved.
The aim is not to create a “better” version of yourself. It is to develop a more honest and compassionate relationship with the person already there—so that your sense of worth can increasingly come from within rather than from proving, pleasing, performing, or becoming someone you were never meant to be.
