What is it?
Self-esteem is the value each person gives themselves. With low self-esteem that value depends on what you achieve and what others think, and self-criticism takes over. It is not a fixed trait: self-esteem is built throughout life and can be worked on at any age.
Signs and symptoms
Signs of low self-esteem include constant self-criticism, fear of failure, difficulty saying no, comparison with others, a need for approval and discomfort when praised. It often comes with a lack of self-confidence, anxiety and relationships in which you give more than you receive.
How we help
To build self-esteem, we identify the beliefs that feed self-criticism, where they come from and how they persist, and put them to the test in daily life. The aim is a fairer relationship with yourself, with more self-confidence to decide, ask and refuse.
