Self-Esteem, worth, and Compassion

Struggling with low self-esteem, self-worth, or self-compassion can affect nearly every aspect of your life. When you don’t feel good enough or worthy, it can impact your relationships, career, mental health, and overall well-being. Many people who experience these challenges find themselves stuck in negative thinking patterns, comparing themselves to others, and feeling inadequate or unlovable. But improving your relationship with yourself is possible, and therapy can be an important step in building a more compassionate and empowered self-image.

Low self-esteem and self-worth can stem from a variety of factors, including childhood experiences, complex trauma, or societal pressures stemming from systemic oppression. Cultural and societal influences, including perfectionism and constant comparison (often fueled by social media), can reinforce feelings of inadequacy. Therapy helps break these cycles, providing tools to challenge these negative beliefs and replace them with a healthier, more positive self-image.
