Therapy for Self-Esteem
- Albert Einstein
We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used
when we created them.”
What if you believed:
"I am good enough"
"I am worthy"
"I did the best I could"
​
"I trust myself"
Who would you be? What would your life look like?
It is not uncommon for us, as women, to feel insecure deep down. We face big pressures every day, and sometimes it feels like we just can't get everything done right. Or make everyone happy. Or be good enough. And so we're sometimes left believing that we are inadequate.
​
Often we're not aware of how bad these negative beliefs about ourselves can make us feel. These beliefs undermine our relationships, our professional life, and our self-esteem. They can cause us to settle for much less in life than we actually want and deserve. These beliefs are particularly powerful because they become a part of our thought patterns and thus can keep us stuck: we follow the same paths, we think and behave the same way, and we use the same approaches to decision-making. So we stay in our rut. Our negative beliefs and ineffective patterns always come from somewhere, and understanding they "why" behind them can be an important step towards changing it.
How therapy can help
When our self-worth is challenged, it impacts every facet our lives, leaving us unfulfilled, unhappy, guilty, or sad. If you struggle with anything on the list below, you could benefit from therapy that seeks to change our beliefs around our self-esteem, as these core beliefs drive our thoughts, behavior, mood, and choices. In many instances, our negative beliefs are the barrier between us and the life we want to live. Some reasons to seek therapy include:
> Lack of fulfillment
> Unsatisfying relationships
> Difficulty regulating emotion
> Persistent feelings of guilt and shame
> Depression
> Anxiety
> Self-destructive behaviors
