What is Self-Esteem?
Self-esteem refers to an individual’s overall sense of self-worth and value. Low self-esteem can result from negative experiences, critical self-perception, and lack of confidence.
How it Negatively Affects Your Life:
Low self-esteem can lead to persistent feelings of inadequacy, self-doubt, and depression. It affects relationships, career performance, and overall life satisfaction. Individuals with low self-esteem may avoid challenges, fear rejection, and struggle with assertiveness, resulting in missed opportunities and unfulfilled potential.
How Treatment Helps:
Therapy for self-esteem issues focuses on identifying and challenging negative self-beliefs, building self-compassion, and developing positive self-affirmations. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and other therapeutic approaches help individuals improve their self-worth and confidence. Therapy provides tools for self-empowerment, enhancing overall mental health and well-being.
