Get help for Low Self-Esteem
Improve your relationship with yourself for a more fulfilling life
Are you struggling from low self-esteem?
If you are struggling with your self-image or self-esteem, you may go through life feeling bad about yourself needlessly. You may engage in constant negative self-talk, like "I'm not good enough" and overly focused and ruminating on your weaker qualities or seeing yourself as a failure.
Low self-esteem has long-term damaging effects on your quality of life. Low self-esteem can manifest in not speaking up at work meetings or in class and it can also increase problems in your relationship with others or lead to self-damaging behavior. Low self-esteem is also often present in individuals suffering from depression, anxiety, phobias, psychosis, delusional thinking, or who have an illness or a disability.
Low self-esteem and a poor self-image keeps you from enjoying life, doing the things you want to do, and working toward personal goals.
Recognizing the signs of low self-confidence is an important first step in growing confidence; recognizing your own worth is important in improving your relationship with yourself.
Improving your self-esteem is an investment in the most important relationship - relationship with yourself.
“Low self-esteem often leads to feelings about yourself that are inaccurate.”
