Self-esteem is used to describe a person's sense of personal worth, or perceived sense of value.
Having healthy self-esteem can influence your motivation, mental well-being, and your overall quality of life. The inability to accept compliments, making disparaging remarks, takes blame easily, difficulty seeing or others, fear of rejection, inability to identify positive things about self, and feeling uncomfortable in social situations, are some of the ways low self esteem is demonstrated.
I have helped many people overcome feelings of low self-esteem, by developing a consistent and positive self image. We set goals to elevate self-esteem and establish an inward sense of self-worth, confidence and competence. My clients typically demonstrate improved self-esteem through more pride in their appearance, more assertiveness, greater eye contact, and identification of positive traits in self talk messages.
