Therapy for Self-Worth
Do you talk to yourself in a way you would never even consider talking to your best friend, kids, or partner?
Do you wish you could feel confident in your skin?
Maybe your inner critic has been so loud for so long that her constant berating feels like a normal part of your life. You may suspect that if you showed your true self, you’d no longer deserve love or belonging, so you’re always performing, constantly putting on a mask.
Perhaps you've pushed yourself to the brink, running on empty, trying to meet the impossibly high standards you've set for yourself. And when you inevitably fall short, you’re left feeling worthless.
Whatever form this inner negativity takes, you're starting to see it seep into every part of your life.
You hold yourself back from fully connecting with others, convinced you're not worthy of being truly known. The fear of being judged or rejected keeps you at arm’s length, preventing deep, meaningful connections. You even have trouble communicating your needs to your partner. Even though part of you knows their love is unconditional, you can't help but fear being too much and getting rejected.
You shrink back from being bold or taking risks in your career. You tell yourself that you'll probably fail anyway, so why bother trying something new or stepping into the spotlight? The fear of failure is paralyzing, leaving you stuck in a cycle of playing it safe, even when playing it safe means staying somewhere you're not happy.
Spending time in your own mind has become exhausting. You keep a mental checklist of all your faults, preparing yourself for criticism before anyone else can deliver it. This constant self-monitoring is meant to protect you, but it only deepens the sense of insecurity and inadequacy.
At every turn, this inner negativity is wearing you down. It’s affecting your relationships, your career, and your relationship with yourself. And you’re realizing more and more that it’s time for a change—but you’re not sure where to start.
How Therapy For Self-Worth Can Help
Therapy for self-worth can help you do these 4 things:
Understand where the critical voice in your head comes from and what she is trying to do for you (hint: her intentions aren't as malicious as you think).
Learn to see yourself in a more compassionate light; fully embracing your strengths and flaws.
Embrace what is important to you and go after it, confidently.
Get in touch with your inner guide and learn to trust her wisdom.
It may feel like a pipe dream now, but you can befriend your inner critic. You can cultivate self-compassion. You can be confident in yourself.
I’ll help through this process, tailoring each step to your unique needs and circumstances. My approach to therapy for self-worth comes from a place of compassion: believing the flawed parts of you deserve just as much love as the parts you're proud of and wanting to help you see yourself the same way.
