Self Esteem
Jean-Marie Bottequin
Life Coach, WAPP
Self-esteem is a basic human need. A self is there to be realized and celebrated and not to be aborted and denied. Self-esteem is - in a comprehensive sense - the experience of feeling equal to life and all its challenges.
Self Esteem means to respect myself. But how can I deepen my understanding of self-respect and my resolve to uphold it?
Self-respect provides us honor and happiness, something most of us strive for through all sorts of means. We may try to buy our happiness with new technology, clothes, or vacations. We may try to beautify our bodies in hopes that others will honor us and make us feel loved. Many try to climb to unnecessary heights of material wealth to attract the joy we see missing around us. But those methods usually don’t work. If self-respect forms an important part of how we achieve the happiness and honor we crave, it seems pretty important that we understand it.
I work with the method of Nathaniel Branden and support people in the different 6 pillars of self-esteem. These are: 1. living consciously - 2. self-acceptance - 3. living self-reliantly - 4. asserting oneself - 5. living purposefully - 6. personal integrity.

The increasing level of self-esteem and self worth also makes you feel more deserving of good things in life and so you’ll self-sabotage less and go after what you deep down want with more motivation and focus than ever before.

Steven Fast Wolf
Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC)
Past Window stress experiences can develop into anxiety, fears, and trauma when continued more than 30 days. The trauma is then stored in the neural processes as implicit memories that are almost always subconscious. These subconscious memories can lay dormant until stimulated into activity in the Present Window. Once activated the Present Window behaviors often result in the same fears and learned responses to the Past Window fears including helplessness and hopeless (depression).
Helplessness and hopelessness reflects low self-esteem when one cannot change others or circumstances or oneself. It is
often also reflected in one blaming oneself for the stress experience and/or or subsequently feeling guilty.

Cynthia Leslie
Pastoral Counselor/Therapist, MA, CPRS
Having a poor self-image and thinking negatively about yourself can tear you down. But knowing your worth in Christ and tackling negative messages can lift you up and give you a renewed sense of self-worth. Dealing with past issue and messages that led to the self-esteem can prove beneficial to the client.

Dr. David Amarel
Psychologist, Ph.D.
My training & experience ranges from psychotherapy & assessment of adults, couples, & teens to counseling persons with AIDS & survivors of trauma with acute PTSD. Whether you seek to overcome a specific trauma or to break a chronic life pattern, to work toward achieving your purpose, to end or mend a relationship, I will meet you where you are at. Intentionality & a sense of purpose are key to self-esteem. I’m very familiar with its chicken-egg nature. Behavioral change is a critical component to fostering a more uplifting interpersonal environment.
