Get to know the Inner-critic.
Self-esteem speaks to how we relate to and view ourselves. Low self-esteem means that we are constantly looking through a judgemental, self-critical lens that highlights real or (often) perceived mistakes and brings us to the idea that we can never do, think or be enough.
Round and round we go, we might feel like we’ve failed before we’ve even begun. You might struggle with social anxiety, run yourself ragged for the approval of others, find it nearly impossible to say “no” or sit with the gnawing idea, “something must be wrong with me”.
The good new is, we are not our thoughts. And we deserve so much more credit than what we give ourselves.
How can I help?
Self-esteem issues don’t just come from nowhere. They often start when someone gets repeated messages from others or their environment that they’re not good enough, not likable, or always messing up. Over time, those messages can start to feel true, even if they’re not.
In therapy, we can work to identify the origin of self-esteem issues, get curious about the inner-critic, challenge unhelpful thoughts, cope with an activated nervous system and learn how to build a better relationship with our authentic self.
