Life can be hard. Sometimes we have difficulty communicating with our partner, boss, children, or our parents. Sometimes we have difficulty adjusting to a new environment or new life circumstances. At times, we may feel stuck and unsure of how to make changes in our lives. Other times we may want to delve deeper and truly understand our motivations and desires. Sometimes we just need to feel heard and understood. Having an unbiased, non judgmental person to talk to can help.
Low self-esteem is a very common issue that many of us face, and I feel well equipped to help you increase your self-esteem. I draw from several theories of psychotherapy, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and person-centered therapy, internal family systems (IFS) and others.
We all speak to ourselves, and when we do it in encouraging ways we can feel pretty good. People with low self-esteem often have a harsh and critical inner voice though. Some therapists like to call this a ‘bully voice’. A number of psychological treatments have been developed which directly target low self-esteem. These include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and ACT.
We all struggle at times with defining our sense of self, disassociating our previous identities to be replaced with an unfamiliar version of ourselves. These constant changes or lack thereof can leave us feeling drained, let down, and persistent feelings of shame, sadness, or guilt can arise.
