Low Self-Esteem

It's relieving to speak knowing you will be truly understood and not judged. There are never any expectations from me to be a certain way - you can be at ease.

​

Feeling you are valued and appreciated every session for just being you can have a profound impact on self-esteem - giving you what you may have missed out on.

A negative core belief about yourself can feel like fact. In reality, this negative lens means you only tune into information that supports your negative core belief.

​

By being aware of how your fears and desires may be filtering reality, you can find a more balanced perspective of yourself.

 

Low self-esteem is driven by unrealistic values; you may try endlessly but you can never fully achieve them, making you feel worse.

​

By understanding how you got your values and making them more realistic, you can be kinder to yourself and build confidence in your capabilities and worth. 

The core of Low Self-Esteem is a strong desire to feel valued by others. This can lead to:​

​

• putting others first and neglecting yourself

• can't say no to others

• easily angry and hurt by others

• avoiding socialising

• proving your worth with achievements

• can't make mistakes

​

These dynamics reinforce low self-esteem. We can explore easier ways to live with others where you feel valued.

If you didn't feel valued or accepted, were neglected, received abuse, or people were critical or harsh, you can end up believing it is because of who you are.

 

These experiences are painful and can get buried in your subconscious, so you might not realise they are still impacting your life.

​

By gently exploring these experiences and giving a voice to the forgotten emotions, the grip they have on your life can be released.

Low self-esteem can manifest as a sinking shame feeling, anger or disgust with yourself, and many other emotions.

​

These emotions feel like evidence that there is something wrong with you. However, they simply indicate something you need. When we understand what that need is, we can address it - rebalancing the emotion as a result.

​

With time, you can stay solid and calm in challenging situations, and can approach life with confidence.
