How we feel about ourselves is influenced by messages from others, but ultimately, what matters most is how we think and feel about ourselves. It's possible to feel good about yourself.
Low self esteem can have many causes - sometimes it is rooted in trauma or upsetting experiences that left us feeling worthless, other times it comes from negative self talk and distorted ways of seeing ourselves in relation to others. The approach depends on the root cause, but whatever that cause may be, we can work together to develop a healthier sense of self esteem.
Low self-esteem can impact every aspect of our lives, but it doesn't have to define us. In therapy, you'll find a safe and supportive space where you can explore the root causes of your self-esteem issues, challenge negative beliefs about yourself, and learn to cultivate a more positive and compassionate self-image.
