Self-Esteem

Service Description

If you have low self-esteem you are the sort of person who is very kind, you always do friends favours. In fact you seem to attract people who 'want' from you. You always want more time for yourself but never seem to get much because you fill your day doing things for other people. You find it very hard to say 'NO' as you feel guilty and you often find yourself doing things you don't really want to do. You look after your friends, partner, children far better than yourself. You want to look after your body but rarely do. You may even live your life in chaos and disorder. You are great at giving good solid advice which you never listen to yourself. Sound familiar? We all have an inner voice which we will be aware of throughout our day. It may begin at the mirror in the morning, “will I look good in this or that?” We’ve all heard the famous line “does my bum look big in this?” People with low self-esteem have a critical inner voice which again could begin at the mirror but it might sound more like “I’m so ugly”, “my body is disgusting”, “how could anyone want to love me?” This voice will be criticising them throughout their whole day. Do you feel that you have low self-esteem or maybe someone has told you that you have? Have you ever tried listening to your voice? Perhaps you can remember what it said to you as you looked in your mirror this morning? How would it feel if I asked you a few questions? Do you deserve to be happy? Are you an important person? Are you worthy of love? Do you like the real you? If you walked into a room full of people at a gathering would you feel happy? Are you a good person? If you answered no to some of those or all of them I wonder if you could imagine walking up to a person you know or a stranger and saying “you don’t deserve to be happy, you’re not worthy of love, you’re a bad person!” Chances are you would never do that, not ever but how do you manage to do it to yourself so easily every day? I am a huge believer in the concept that we all began life as a perfect baby that loved itself but as we grew up things changed because of situations, because of people and some of us end up feeling unhappy, unlovable and unattractive, and because we don’t love ourselves we attract partners that treat us badly, we blame ourselves for anything that goes wrong. Lets work together to build up your confidence step by step and rediscover your true self worth and value so that you can start loving you again.
