Overcoming Low Self-Esteem: Talks With Your Therapist

Synopsis

Low self-esteem and negative self-image cause great distress, can severely affect relationships and have many other negative impacts on one's life. They can, however, be effectively treated using cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) techniques, the basis of this series of talks from Dr Melanie Fennell, one of the UK's leading experts on low self-esteem. Learn what causes low self-esteem and why it sometimes persists, explore how to stop self-criticism in its tracks, challenge negative self-beliefs and develop new self-acceptance. The talks are focused on the following themes: the nature and effects of low self-esteem; what maintains it; self-criticism and negative beliefs; and, enhancing self-acceptance.
