Therapy in New York State
Your friend didn’t text you back to make plans with you and you think: “See, nobody really wants to spend time with you.”
You apologize a lot (even for no reason) because you feel like a burden. You think having you around is a pity thing.
At times, when people are unkind to you, you almost see their perspective. You walk away telling yourself how stupid you are. You allow others to take advantage of you.
“Self-esteem and self-worth are not the same. Self-esteem is how you view yourself. Self worth never changes.”
– Regina Howland, LMHC, NCC
Think of that person in your life who’s always kind, never expects anything from you, and loves you unconditionally. This is what they might say:
Pick your head up high. You have value. It’s an honor to be in your life.
Your worth doesn’t change because someone has a poor opinion of you. You are NOT a burden.
Only invite those people to stay in your life who see your value and treat you well.
What if you could believe those things about yourself? Keep reading…
What if you could…
…feel good about yourself and stop apologizing for your existence.
…believe you have value, and know you are not a burden.
…stand up for yourself when you’re being disrespected. Set and keep healthy boundaries.
Together we will tackle:
*Self-esteem vs self-worth
*Healthy communication skills
*Assertiveness: what it is and how to do it well
*How to make healthy connections with people
*Learning to accept and love yourself
Once we work together, you will begin to see yourself as you really are: a unique, valuable human being. You will be able to appreciate your differences, instead of judging them.
