Recognizing Low Self-Esteem & Getting Proper Treatment

Self-esteem makes you feel valuable, confident, and worthy of respect, which can further influence the overall well-being of an individual. Your high self-esteem makes you feel good about yourself and your progress in life, while low self-esteem often makes you feel shame and self-doubt. You start spending time criticizing yourself. The

effects of negative self-talk

could result in several mental health conditions like anxiety, fear, and depression.

Therapy For Low Self-esteem By Dr. Joseph Lancaster

Therapy for self-esteem and changing your beliefs and behavior about how you think about yourself are the only ways to raise your self-esteem. If you have been struggling with self-esteem issues from early childhood until now, self-esteem therapy becomes necessary; otherwise, it could lead to serious mental health issues and even self-harm. I treat my patients with self-esteem issues with “person-centered” therapy. I help individuals recognize the cause and monitor negative beliefs, doubt, and anxiety to alleviating painful feelings.
