Self-Esteem Q & A

What is self-esteem?

Self-esteem refers to how you regard and value yourself. It encompasses your confidence, self-worth, and self-belief.

Healthy self-esteem helps you feel good about who you are and believe in your capabilities. Unfortunately, many people suffer from low self-esteem, which has the opposite effect.

Low self-esteem holds you back in life. It makes it harder to try new things, form healthy relationships, or believe in your abilities. Over time, it can lead to stress, anxiety, and depression.

What causes low self-esteem?

Many things can cause low self-esteem. These include:

  • Being bullied or teased
  • Criticism from family, friends, or teachers
  • Past trauma or abuse
  • Feeling like you don’t fit in
  • Struggles at school, work, and in relationships
  • Comparing yourself to others (especially on social media)

Negative thoughts about yourself often start early in life and develop over time.

What are the signs of low self-esteem?

Some common signs of low self-esteem include:

  • Frequently doubting yourself
  • Feeling like you’re not good enough
  • Fearing failure or rejection
  • Having trouble setting boundaries
  • Avoiding new things
  • Seeking approval from others to feel OK

You might also struggle to accept compliments or feel uncomfortable speaking up for yourself.

How does therapy help with self-esteem?

Therapy supports your growth, helps you develop self-confidence, and guides you toward a healthier, happier you.

The Pioneer Counseling and Consulting team helps you understand the origins of your low self-esteem and provides guidance on overcoming it. They help you build confidence, set healthy boundaries, and start thinking more positively about yourself.

You talk about your thoughts, feelings, and past experiences with a skilled counselor. You also learn how to recognize negative thinking patterns and replace them with kinder, more balanced thoughts. Your therapist helps you develop tools that make you stronger and increase control over your life.
