My Approach to Confidence Counseling
Quick question: Do you like yourself?
Our self-esteem is a way of placing value on ourselves. In other words, self-esteem is the degree to which we feel valuable, confident, and worthy. A low self-esteem can be associated with feelings of self-criticism, self-doubt, shame, and depression and can suggest you carry a negative opinion of yourself. Most of us have mixed opinions of ourselves, but if your overall opinion is that you are inadequate in some way, your self-esteem may be low. Having a low self-esteem can damper the joys in life and have a negative impact on your relationships. A healthy self-esteem is important to our overall well-being, but getting there can be difficult. Don't worry you may never like 100% of yourself and that's okay.
My approach to therapy for self-esteem is solution focused and goal directed. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) which is an evidenced based intervention that has been clinically proven to help clients look at the connection that exists between their feelings, thoughts, and behaviors.
In sessions, we will explore how your self-esteem impacts your quality of life, identify strategies to help you stop focusing on your weaknesses and instead focus on your strengths and abilities, and review tools that can help you quiet that inner critic.
You will also explore how to stop comparing yourself to others, give up on the quest to be perfect, and start loving your body. Though it is not always easy to deal with uncomfortable emotions, in our time together, we will work to help you improve your self-esteem. Changing behaviors and thought patterns is a process. Together we will help you gain perspective, confidence, and acquire new habits based in self-love and self-compassion.
If self-esteem issues have become a serious problem in your life, the good news is low self-esteem is not a life sentence. You can trade it in for a higher one. If you would like to explore treatment, please contact me. Together, we will embark on a journey of empowerment and self-acceptance.
I would be happy to speak with you about how I may be able to help.
