Knowing you.

Exploring the Self.

Self-esteem refers to an your overall subjective evaluation of your own worth and value. It involves your beliefs, thoughts, and feelings as well as the perception of your personal space and role in the world. In short, self-esteem reflects a person's sense of self-worth and the level of confidence they have in their own abilities and value as a person.

This can be a problem if you were raised in a home or community that challenged your sense of value and worth. At times, we can find ourselves in relationships that wear down our sense of space and worth in the world and we become shutdown emotionally and living with unhealthy ways of thinking and being.

How we perceive ourselves.

People with high self-esteem tend to have a positive and realistic perception of themselves. They are more likely to maintain healthy relationships. On the other hand, individuals with low self-esteem often doubt themselves and experience feelings of inadequacy, self-doubt, and a fear of rejection. This can significantly impact relationships and overall well-being.
