Pervasive poor self-esteem can result in anxiety and depression. How often do you stop yourself from speaking your mind, due to fear of embarrassment or being wrong?
These small self-confidence "blips" can add up, and compound your low sense of self-worth.
Having a poor self-image and thinking negatively about yourself can tear you down. But knowing your worth in Christ and tackling negative messages can lift you up and give you a renewed sense of self-worth. Dealing with past issue and messages that led to the self-esteem can prove beneficial to the client.

We all have things that we don't like about ourselves or we want to change. However some of us can also have a negative self image that dictates our overall self esteem and self worth. This often manifests in negative self talk, a defeatist outlook and believing we are inferior to others. It also can manifest in excessive comparison of ourselves to others. Changing that negative self talk and reframing our thoughts and perspectives can help us see ourselves in a more positive light which helps to improve our self esteem.
Low self-esteem can impact every aspect of our lives, but it doesn't have to define us. In therapy, you'll find a safe and supportive space where you can explore the root causes of your self-esteem issues, challenge negative beliefs about yourself, and learn to cultivate a more positive and compassionate self-image.
