Self Esteem
Self-esteem is the level of worth or value that a person allots to themselves. It is important because it projects onto all the major facets of one’s life. Every person’s decision-making process, emotional stability, and their general wellbeing are very much dictated by their level of self-esteem. In its absence or deficiency, a number of unhealthy patterns or damaging approaches may develop.
What are the signs of low self-esteem?
While there is a general perception that low self-esteem only manifests in the form of shyness, the reality is that there is a lot more to it. Below are some indications that can assist you in identifying low self-esteem:
An inability to take accountability for mistakes, which manifests as blaming others.
Often referring to oneself in distasteful and derogatory ways.
Claiming that one is unwanted or not cared for by anyone.
Passing up opportunities with the mindset of not being good enough.
How can we help?
The sense of worthlessness and self-deprecation that accompanies low self-esteem is especially painful to experience. Approaching a mental health professional is important to help identify the causes of low-self esteem and what is fueling it in order to incorporate techniques that help to increase the persons self-esteem.
Treatment modalities:
Therapy for low self-esteem is a deep and intimate process. The cognitive-behavioral approach is very well-suited to identifying irrational beliefs that one harbors about themselves that are eventually translating to non-serving behaviors and negative feelings.
