Life is unpredictable, often throwing us off course when we least expect it. Bouncing back from disappointment and difficulty can sometimes feel overwhelming. We are not always able to change our outer circumstances, however, we do have the power to change our response to difficulties. Being flexible in our response allows us to shift out of our automatic, habitual and quick reactivity into a more skillful response. Engaging in therapy can help with facing those challenges with a positive, healthy mind set. The healthier our mind, the healthier our relationships will be.

At any time, you can rethink your life and reinvent yourself. In a fast paced modern world, we are finding that more and more people are experiencing challenges such as depression and anxiety. Many of them choose to self medicate through habits that can develop an addiction. Many more choose to relay on prescribed medications only. However, studies have shown that the greatest chances for success are achieved by combining medication and therapy.

You feel stuck. Day in and day out, the monotony of your life is so draining. You know you want to make a change, but what kind of change? A new job, new location, going to school, a different relationship... It is all so overwhelming. Where do you even start? And that's where you get stuck. Knowing you want this change but feeling paralyzed by the anxiety of the unknown. Or maybe even worse, the fear of making the WRONG decision. So you keep trudging along. Day after day. Stuck in this constant loop. You want to escape this, but you just need help!

Self Esteem Therapists
When should a person seek therapy for low self-esteem?
When self-esteem problems begin to disrupt the healthy daily functioning of an individual, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If a person finds that they are not engaging with friends for fear of being judged, not completing work assignments because they don’t think they’re capable, or not finding romantic love because they don’t feel they’re worthy of it, a therapist may be able to help.
What are the signs of low self-esteem?
Low self-esteem is a common issue that can affect a person's mental and emotional well-being. Some common signs of low self-esteem include negative self-talk, perfectionism, social anxiety, difficulty making decisions, an inability to set boundaries, people-pleasing, and others. A lack of belief in oneself or one’s abilities and a feeling of not being worthy or deserving underlie most of these characteristics.
What causes low self-esteem?
Feelings of low self-worth can begin in childhood or adulthood. Being raised by a highly critical parent or growing up feeling constant disapproval can stay with a person well into adulthood. Specific issues in adulthood may also be a cause of low self-esteem. An unhappy relationship, a dysfunctional work or school experience can impact a person’s feelings of self-worth.
How can therapy improve self-esteem?
Therapists can help identify negative thought patterns that keep the client stuck in a loop of destructive self-talk and develop coping skills to change the voice in their head. A therapist can help with goal-setting, so that clients are better able to stay on task and build confidence from successfully completing work they’re proud of. Coaching a client on how to better communicate can improve relationships. These skills can result in someone with low self-esteem feeling empowered and living with less fear.
