Self-Esteem

Where has the old you gone?

You once had energy, confidence, panache.

Now, you find yourself questioning every decision you make – or even unable to make decisions at all – succumbing to the destructive cycle of negative self-talk and doubting that the future will be any better.

What happened to your backbone?

You once had a reputation for being optimistic, assertive about your needs, and eager to accept a challenge, no matter how big.

Hampered by fear of failure, you shy away from opportunities to shine or lead.

You’ve become an expert at excuses and self-sabotage to hide your feelings of inadequacy.

What’s wrong with your voice?

It seems you’ve forgotten how to say no.

You spend most of your time people-pleasing, completely neglecting your own needs.

Most days, you don’t even recognize the person you see in the mirror.

And it’s starting to take its toll.

Simply put, self-esteem is your opinion of yourself. And when something deals your self-esteem a blow, you can feel it in all areas of your life.

Stress, anxiety, and emotional distress can lead to even more severe consequences, such as depression, eating disorders, social anxiety disorder, and substance abuse, to name a few.

It can also lead to extreme sensitivity to criticism, difficulty achieving your goals and maintaining healthy relationships, and a persistent desire to give up in the face of overwhelming negativity.

How did this happen?

Low self-esteem impacts how you view your value and worth.

Working together, we’ll explore the cause of your self-esteem issues. Did you suffer childhood trauma? Poor academic performance? Financial troubles?

Perhaps you’ve gone through the breakdown of a relationship or have been the victim of abuse.

Or maybe you’ve been struggling with chronic medical issues, physical disability, or mental health conditions.

And how do you get back on track?

Working together, we’ll focus on building a healthier self-perspective – removing distortions and allowing you to see yourself as you really are and recognize your worth.

You’ll develop coping strategies and replace self-destructive habits with healthier new ones – so you can show up for life as your true self each day.

Unleash the power within.

The real you hasn’t gone anywhere – the real you is still inside you – just waiting for the opportunity to emerge. It may be that you’ve never seen yourself for who you actually are. But we can change that.
