Our self-esteem is a key factor in our sense of confidence and the way we view ourselves. A high self-esteem empowers us to navigate daily challenges and formulate successful and meaningful relationships. However, when we struggle with low-self-esteem, it can make our daily lives more difficult and affect our overall wellbeing. If you feel that you experience low self-esteem, perhaps you have thought the following:
“I am never good enough, no matter what I do.”
“I avoid situations where I might fail or be judged.”
“I don’t believe compliments.”
“I replay my mistakes and criticize myself constantly.”
“Everyone else is doing better than I am.”
How Can Therapy Help?
At Connect Cognitive Therapy, we recognize that low self-esteem can impact many areas of life, from our relationships and work to how we manage stress and setbacks. We are here to help!
By working with one of our registered therapists, we will collaborate with you to explore how your self-esteem can be further developed and how your current thoughts and experiences shape your self-image. Together, we will help you identify unhelpful thinking patterns and provide methods of challenging them to help build a balanced, compassionate, and more realistic self-image.
When working with one of our registered therapists, we will guide you towards a greater self-esteem by helping you:
- Identify and challenge negative self-beliefs
- Practice self-compassion, acceptance, and mindfulness
- Highlight your strengths and what makes you unique
- Develop assertiveness skills and healthy boundaries
- Emphasize and strengthen relationships that empower you
