Self-Esteem
Struggling with harsh self-talk, low self-worth, or perfectionism? Therapy can help you shift these deep-seated patterns.
Key information you should know
- Self-esteem concerns can manifest as chronic self-doubt, poor self-worth, and difficulty accepting compliments or successes.
- These feelings can lead to emotional struggles, like feeling anxious, depressed, or having difficulty connecting with others.
- Addressing self-esteem concerns involves building self-compassion (being kinder to yourself), challenging negative beliefs you hold about yourself and setting realistic expectations for yourself.
- Effective approaches include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT).
Self-esteem concerns often show up as a quiet, persistent voice in your head that constantly questions your worth or doubts your abilities. You might find yourself falling into patterns like perfectionism, people-pleasing, or a deep fear of failure - all driven by that feeling of not being “good enough.”
Therapy can help you uncover where these beliefs came from and how they’ve shaped how you see yourself. CBT and ACT are powerful tools to challenge self-critical thoughts, reconnect with your values, and build a more compassionate relationship with yourself.
