Self Worth
Do you struggle with self esteem/worth? You are not alone! This is a common issue that we see in therapy. Learning to love you can be a difficult task after years or even decades of feeling unhappy with who you are. Becoming self aware of how you see yourself and getting help is the first step to self love.
Raising Self Esteem
Here are some tips on how to raise self-esteem. They are small steps, but can be difficult to implement if you don't feel good about who you are. Changing your mindset can be a difficult task and may seem impossible. If you don't feel comfortable in your own skin, reach out to friends, family or a professional to help you! In most cases, other people see a version of you that you don't see. We are our own worst critics and your loved ones can help you see the person you cannot see in yourself.
Kids & Self Esteem
Building self-esteem in children is crucial for their development. What their parents say can influence the inner voice that becomes who they are in adulthood. As you can imagine, if negative things are said or they feel that they are unimportant it can have a severe impact on their self-esteem now and in the future. This causes mental health issues throughout their lives and can be a hard road to come back from. Here are some tips to help children develop a positive sense of self-worth. We know as parents that we want the best for our children but our own upbringing and other influences can determine how we raise our own children; however, we can always make a change for the better.
