Self-Esteem
“I am my own worst enemy”
Is your inner critic telling you that you’re not good enough or that you don’t measure up? Low self-esteem can create a nagging feeling of self-doubt, making it hard to see your own worth. Maybe it stems from early childhood, negative feedback, or societal pressures and expectations. It can feel like a distorted lens in which you view yourself, focusing only on perceived flaws and blind to your achievements and amazing qualities.
The hidden costs of low self-esteem…
The repercussions of low self-esteem extend far beyond internal feelings of doubt. If there’s a part of you struggling to believe you are worthy of love and acceptance, it can be difficult to form and maintain healthy relationships. In professional settings, it can hinder career advancement, limiting you from pursuing opportunities or expressing your ideas confidently. Not only can low self-esteem hold you back socially and professionally, it can also cause emotional issues by leading to heightened stress and anxiety.
Breaking free from the pervasive inner critic and low self-esteem is possible with therapeutic support. Counseling can help you shift your internal dialogue, fostering a more positive self-perception and helping you navigate life with increased confidence.
