More about self-esteem and how therapy can help

Common symptoms of low self-esteem

While there are times when we all dislike who we are, loathing your thoughts and feelings is a tell-tale sign of low-self-esteem. Self-esteem can have a profound impact on the choices you make, since it determines to a great extent, what you consider yourself deserving and capable of. When you feel less equipped to take on challenges in life, it’s easy to get stuck in a perpetual cycle of self-doubt, unhealthy relationships, job dissatisfaction and general malaise. 
 
Beliefs that we have about ourselves are a result of all of our experiences. Oftentimes our negative opinions of ourselves come from criticisms we received from others, making us feel inadequate even when our self-esteem is well-developed.

How low self-esteem affects us

Any experience that causes you to question your worth whether it be a job loss or the end of a relationship can make you reevaluate your value. Did I say something stupid? Am I lazy? Do I look old? Comparing yourself to others and feeling that you fall short only exacerbates your insecurity. 

 

If you struggle with low self-esteem you’re putting yourself at a risk of not fulfilling your true potential. Low self-esteem is based on irrational thoughts and fears. Fears that you’re not good enough, that you’ll never get the job you want, never get the partner you want, etc. You’re focused on something that is lacking about you. 

My clients recognize that self-doubt is a troubling and persuasive voice that holds them back. They want to stop comparing and looking outward for validation. They know they’re highly self-critical and are looking for ways to feel confident and secure without second-guessing themselves.

What do I do now?

Fortunately, we have a fair amount of control when it comes to increasing our level of self-worth. Learning how to accept and trust yourself will give you a sense of control over your life. You can learn how to set realistic goals, manage difficult situations and handle criticism. 
 
When we have healthy self-esteem, we’re better able to deal with life’s ups and downs. Therapy can help you uncover what’s contributing to your negative beliefs about yourself while also teaching you ways to change it.
