Self Esteem, Treatments
Self Esteem
It’s how an individual emotionally evaluates themselves.
Self esteem encompasses beliefs such as ‘ I am competent,’ ‘I am worthy,’ and emotions such as happiness, shame, despair and pride.
Self-esteem is an enduring personality characteristic (trait), although it can vary from time to time.
There are three components to self-esteem.
1. An essential human need for survival and healthy development
2. It’s automatic and based on a persons beliefs and consciousness
3. Which occurs in conjunction with the persons behaviours, feelings and actions.
Component 1:
Survival and healthy development of our self-esteem is dependent on a number of fundamental ingredients. A conscious understanding on how to assist in the growth element is paramount. The motivation to modify the current self-esteem is necessary. Hard work and perseverance
Component 2:
Component 3:
An individuals behaviour, feelings and actions are generally driven by elements of their self-esteem. So for example if somebody has a very fragile self-esteem they may find themselves being bullied and abused at school, at work and even at home.
A healthy self-esteem can be achieved through psychological therapy much quicker than people anticipate. Individuals actually start to take control of their life by choosing who they want to have a relationship with, how they want to live and who they want to love.There is no reason to remain stuck in the depths of a low self-esteem, why would you choose to? Change your life, particularly if you are ready to feed your self-esteem with the ingredients that it needs, it will encourage a Healthy Mind.
