Self-esteem, self-confidence, and self-compassion are all terms that describe an aspect of how we relate to ourselves. How we feel about ourselves determines how we treat ourselves and how others treat us in return. Our sense of self starts to develop when we are very young, and in reaction to how our caregivers respond to meeting our needs. While forming our identity, any interaction can enhance or diminish our sense of self.
If you have not learned to value and care for yourself, you are at risk of anxiety, depression, loneliness, and becoming involved with abusive partners. Lacking awareness of your own gifts, you may fail to reach your potential. Some, when faced a high likelihood of a good outcome, feel so unworthy and undeserving that they may subconsciously sabotage their own success, thereby unintentionally reinforcing their negative self-concept.
Improving self-esteem and self-confidence is a long process, but the biggest obstacle is believing yourself worth the effort to get started. You do deserve happiness, health and all good things. Campanula Psychological Services can help you prove it to yourself.
