Self Esteem
Leigh Berry
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW, RHN
The outside world too often gets to dictate how we feel about ourselves. We learn to rely on this external validation and approval in order to feel good, and never learn how to give it to ourselves. We walk around thinking we are not doing enough, working hard enough, exercising enough, eating healthy enough- simply put we believe we are not enough. Working together we will deepen your understanding of how this belief system or other narratives show up in your own personal experience; as well as focus on related feelings and behaviours that keep you feeling stuck. We will also explore tools to engage and connect with your Self to build trust and confidence and positive self-esteem.
"The more we give our inner voice a platform to be our guide, the more we generate feelings of inner worth and trust that we are enough." ~ Leigh

Tej Neringer, Pivotal Counseling
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
There are many ways to address and improve issues related to self esteem including :
• Practice sitting with difficult emotions and being alone without unhealthy distractions - stay busy with healthy distractions
• Spend more time with people who make you feel loved/appreciated
• Cut out anyone negative
• Goals and task achievement - recognize what you are good at and celebrate wins
• Lifestyle - reduce substance, sleep, diet, exercise
• Inner critic - notice, label, trash, distract - what would friend say?
• Assertive, say no, set boundaries
• Each day - write down something you are proud of
• Be yourself – be your true self around everyone, even if you fear being rejected. You will likely be surprised by how people respond, thereby validating that who you truly are is okay
• Stop comparing – if you notice yourself comparing yourself to others, make sure to compare your whole self to their whole self. Don’t just compare yourself to their best attribute, consider that they are a whole person, with good qualities and flaws, just like you and everyone else.

Self Esteem
Alicia Panchal
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Self-esteem reflects how we think and feel about ourselves. If you're noticing that there's a pattern of thinking poorly about yourself, and how you're viewed by others, it may be a sign that you're experiencing low self-esteem. Low self-esteem can be something we experience overall, but can also arise in specific circumstances such as relationships, body image, intellect, etc.
Improving on our self-esteem includes exploring where these thoughts and judgements came from, how to challenge them, how to provide ourselves with compassion, and of course, how to change our responses or behaviours to improve our confidence.

Franklynn Bartol
Pre-Licensed Professional, RP (Qualifying), MSc, MA
My approach, relational therapy, sees self-esteem as shaped by our experiences with others. How we're treated in relationships, past and present, deeply effects how we feel about ourselves. You don't need to have traumatic experiences to have impacted your self esteem; sometimes well-meaning and loving relationships still don't happen give us what we needed to be more positively connected to ourselves. How we're valued or not in society also matters: even if we know they're wrong, experiences of discrimination and prejudice can become internalized, leaving a mark on our self-image. I'll work with you to try to understand the unique relational world you carry, and what experiences of connection, love, validation, and acceptance you may need to support a better self esteem. My hope is that you leave therapy with new narratives, feeling more empowered and compassionate towards yourself.
Some of my clients want to revisit and reprocess past, impactful experiences that haunt their self-image. Others would rather focus on present experiences—how do self esteem issues come up in daily life now? How are they feeling in the session? Some want to explicitly discuss issues of internalized racism, sexism, transphobia, ableism, homophobia, etc. Others may not think through an identity lens, and that's okay too! My approach is client-led, so I'm always flexible to whether or not, and how deeply, you want to discuss something. So much of therapy is about finding your authentic voice, and my process always seeks to honour that.

Our sense of self is central to how we move through the world. What we believe about ourselves shapes our interactions with others and our life choices. Learning self acceptance and self compassion can help you move to a different place.
