Self Esteem
Samantha Diminutto
Licensed Professional Counsellor, CCC, MPS-AT
As kids, ADHDers get told on average 5 X more negative messages (sit still, you're wrong, stop that!) than their neurotypical peers. A lot of that gets internalized as truth and builds shame and guilt - so no wonder our self-esteem sucks! Working with a fellow ADHDer and professional counsellor can help to normalize your functioning - and help you to build up your confidence, capacity for follow-through and self-trust in a way that takes into account your strengths and skills.

Mark Giesbrecht, MA, CCC, RCC - Psychotherapist
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, CT, CCC, RCC
Did you know that self esteem is directly connected to self acceptance? Did you know that issues like confidence, identity and your value can be diminished by things like past trauma and anxiety disorders? Sometimes it's valuable to look at your life to find out why your self esteem is low before you try to improve it. It seems to be more successful that way.

Self Esteem
Nina Hopmeier
Licensed Professional Counsellor, Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC)
Individuals with low self-esteem often have an intense fear of being judged. Their thoughts typically involve beliefs around incompetence or inadequacy, and some clients with low self-esteem may even believe that they are defective.
These harsh self-judgments often interfere with the ability to live a fulfilling life largely due to avoiding new behaviours that may re-affirm feelings of incompetence or inadequacy. In therapy, I help clients gain insight into some of the thoughts and emotions that prevent the establishment of self-worth and self-love.
Through various therapeutic approaches, including cognitive restructuring and a focus on values-oriented work, we work collaboratively to help move away from self-defeating behaviours, such as avoidance, and closer toward experiences that promote healing.
