Therapy for Low Self-Esteem in North and South Carolina
"Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light."
~Albus Dumbledore (from Harry Potter films)
Self-esteem is how you feel about yourself as a direct result of your life experiences.
When we struggle with identifying our strengths, or get stuck in the same mental loop of comparing ourselves to others, this can distort our self-awareness and lower our self-worth.
Have you noticed patterns of low self-esteem lately?
Feelings of self-doubt or difficulty trusting your own decisions
Feeling worthless, ashamed, or inadequate
Experiencing negative self-talk or internal criticism
Comparing yourself to friends or loved ones often
Discounting your own personal achievements or positive experiences
Engaging in short-lived unhealthy behaviors to boost your confidence briefly
Deep rooted beliefs that you are not capable of success
Avoiding opportunities or challenges due to fear of failure
Noticing people-pleasing tendencies and not holding boundaries
Low motivation or drive in life
Procrastinating or avoiding tasks
Building Self-Confidence
Working with a therapist for symptoms of low self-esteem can lead you to feeling more confident in how you approach life’s challenges, let go of negative thought patterns that hold you back, and hold boundaries that support your individuality.
When shifting to a compassionate approach to boost your self-worth, it allows you to build a healthy dialogue with your inner critic. You will:
Connect with a healthy inner dialogue that aligns with your values
Establish skills for rewiring your brain to navigate effectively through challenging moments
Create a safe haven within yourself that acts as an anchor to ground you to reality when self-defeating thoughts may surface
You are deserving of love towards yourself. I’d love to talk with you more about what you are feeling.
