Self-Esteem
Self-Esteem Counseling in Charleston, SC | Holy City Psychology
Self-esteem is a fundamental part of how we view ourselves, influencing our self-confidence, self-value, self-respect, and overall well-being. In today’s society, there is significant emphasis on having “high self-esteem,” but achieving and maintaining it is not always easy. Many people struggle with feelings of inadequacy, self-doubt, or persistent negative self-talk that can affect their relationships, career, and quality of life. At Holy City Psychology, we are here to help you uncover the root causes of low self-esteem and develop lasting confidence and self-worth.
Understanding Low Self-Esteem
Low self-esteem can stem from a variety of sources, including:
- Childhood experiences, such as criticism or neglect
- Traumatic events or bullying
- Ongoing stress, anxiety, or depression
- Unrealistic expectations from society, social media, or personal standards
- Negative self-talk and internalized beliefs
When left unaddressed, low self-esteem can affect every aspect of life. It may cause you to avoid new opportunities, struggle with setting boundaries, or constantly seek validation from others. Over time, this can lead to feelings of helplessness, loneliness, and dissatisfaction with life.
