Self-Esteem

Self-esteem is a concept that speaks to how we feel about ourselves. When one has high self-esteem, they feel confident, centered, and worthy of love. People with low self-esteem often feel shame and self-doubt. They often feel critical of themselves and are unworthy of love or praise.

Regardless of how low self-esteem manifests, the results are always the same: 

• Depression and anxiety
• Lack of joy in life
• Anger, guilt, sadness
• Self-doubt
• Feeling overwhelmed
• Loneliness
• Isolation
• Codependency
