Self-esteem is a subjective measure of an individual’s feeling of self-worth and value to others. Both a judgment of one’s worthiness and an attitude that determines how the self is treated, self-esteem plays an essential role in personal relationships, school and work performance, and in one’s overall sense of happiness, satisfaction and fulfillment.
When the thoughts and beliefs that comprise self-esteem are consistently negative, the individual may avoid challenges or opportunities in ways that inhibit personal and professional growth and may develop symptoms of anxiety or depression.
At The Clinic on Dupont, our clinicians use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to interrupt this cycle of self-defeating thoughts and behaviours by teaching their clients how to identify and challenge the underlying negative thought patterns that drive low self-esteem.
