Having low self-esteem means feeling inferior and undeserving of love and success. When you judge yourself harshly it impacts the way you think, feel and behave. You may experience anxiety, envy, depression, fear of rejection, a need for approval, deference to others, self-destructive behaviors, vulnerability, and/or relationship issues. Negative, repetitive thoughts about your value, needs, body image, agency, or interactions with others can be overwhelming as they loop through the mind in seemingly endless rumination. Therapy, working from a strength-based perspective and rooted in a mind-body understanding, can help you feel safe, strong and confident as you learn how to love your whole self.
