As a provider being encouraging with positive self-talk and affirmations can help boost their self-confidence. Offering praise and recognition for their efforts, no matter how small, can also make a big difference. Building a supportive and non-judgmental environment where they feel safe to express themselves is crucial.

Self-esteem can be a tenuous experience that is constantly at risk if we define ourselves by success/failure.
Hannah Warshowsky
Psychologist, PhD
I talk about self-criticism, often how we express self-esteem, with all of my clients. Every. Single. One. We call ourselves things we would never call anyone else “disgusting, lazy, unworthy, embarrassing, ugly, stupid. The list goes on and on. Instead of metaphorically beating yourself up for beating yourself up (because that defeats the purpose right?) try some of these tips. ✔️
Try talking to yourself how you would talk to a best friend, small child, or a lovable pet. You can still challenge yourself but say it in a gentle way. “I know you are really tired but you are gonna feel better if you get up and make some breakfast.
