Low self-esteem doesn't necessarily show externally. You may be functioning, fulfilling obligations, and giving your maximum, but inside there is a voice constantly telling you that it is not enough. This feeling can be a quiet companion in every relationship, choice, and even when you look in the mirror.
In psychotherapy, we understand low self-worth as a consequence of early experiences where you were not seen, accepted, or validated for who you are.
Instead of developing a sense of inner reliance, you learned to seek validation externally.
Low self-esteem often develops when you:
had to be "good" in childhood to be loved,
learned that others' needs are more important than your own,
frequently compare yourself to others and feel you are not worthy enough.
In psychotherapy, we explore:
Who once told you that you were not enough as you are?
In which situations today do you lose yourself to be accepted?
The Gestalt psychotherapy approach does not offer ready-made affirmations. Instead, it guides you through the process of restoring contact with yourself.
Psychotherapy helps you feel where you are, what is important to you, and how to become the support system for yourself that you may have lacked.
Personal worth does not come from others' reactions. It grows when you learn to be true to yourself - even when that means not meeting others' expectations.
If you are tired of constantly questioning your worth,maybe it is time to get to know yourself from the inside.
Psychotherapy can be the beginning of your trust in yourself.
Love your day. Trust that your "enough" truly is enough.
