Let us show you why you can count on us for self-esteem therapy that will show you how to unlock your potential, build resilience, and cultivate a profound send of self-worth.
Recognizing Low Self Esteem
When one has high self-esteem, they likely feel confident, centered, and worthy of love. But for those with low self-esteem, it’s easy to let intrusive thoughts win. These individuals often feel shame, self-doubt, critical of themselves, and may even think they are unworthy of love or praise.
Individuals with low self-esteem typically cope by using one of the following three models:
· Imposter syndrome – These individuals project false confidence and use their accomplishments to mask their insecurities. We often find perfectionists and procrastinators in this group.
· Rebellion – These individuals pretend not to care about what others think of them. Feelings of inferiority may often come across as anger or blame, and some may act out by defying authority and even breaking the law.
· Victimhood – In this scenario, low self-esteem causes the person to feel helpless in the face of life’s challenges. They may play the role of the victim and rely on others.
No matter how your low self-esteem manifests itself, you may battle with feelings of anxiety, anger, guilt, sadness, loneliness, and more.
