Self-esteem has to do with a person’s confidence, feelings of adequacy, and the overall way they think of themselves. If someone is unsure of themselves, they may feel unworthy, nervous, or sad. Self-esteem issues can also stem from other mental health concerns, such as anxiety, trauma, or depression.
Available Treatment Options
The bulk of counseling interventions for improving self-esteem include challenging negative thought patterns. Understanding the root of these thoughts can also be helpful in therapy. Therapists and counselors can help people process and resolve harmful childhood messages, challenge negative thoughts, and set goals for self-empowerment and self-love.

Experiencing loss is an inevitable part of life - it happens to us all; loss of a loved one, job or career changes, or even health issues can create feelings of grief, decreased confidence and loneliness.

Being heard and being understood - the concept of belonging. At times, the concept of belonging is complicated when you have thoughts which block the enjoyment of the present moment.

Traumas and unwanted life...
