Difficulties with self-esteem and self-confidence can be incredibly challenging to cope with, and tend to interfere in our lives in very real ways. Self-esteem challenging can present through the criticism we have of ourselves around our body image, school and work abilities, relationships, and personality.
Ultimately, our challenges with self-esteem can lead to low mood and decreased overall wellbeing, and can also prevent us from going after new experiences and opportunities if we convince ourselves that our negative self-talk is true.
This is why it is so important to work on our self-esteem and confidence. Many of us carry narrative about ourselves and our abilities, and these messages often stem farther back into our pasts. Common narratives include:
Exploring and understanding the origins of these narratives and what these messages are attempting to accomplish is an effective way to re-write your self-narrative to one filled with strength and compassion. This is not easy work, but it can truly transform your life in the present and looking into the future.
Relationships are a huge part of our lives, from romantic partners, friends, family and co-workers, and can bring us immense joy and sense of community and support. However, these complex relationships also bring their own unique sets of challenges, and can be difficult to navigate.
It can be especially helpful to talk to a counsellor in these moments- oftentimes the people we would usually turn to in these difficult times are the exact same people we are facing these challenges with. Alternatively, we may turn to other friends and family, but they might be biased, or not know what to say or how to help.
We are here to listen and offer guidance and support as you navigate these challenging situations. We will tailor our approach based on your unique circumstance, however some topics that may be helpful to discuss may include:
Chronic pain and illness, whether recent or lifelong, impacts every aspect of our lives and wellbeing. Our mental and physical wellbeing are intertwined, so struggling mentally can have a huge impact on your condition. From coping with recent changes, to adjusting to changes in your relationships stemming from your chronic illness or pain diagnoses, to learning acceptance and creating a meaningful life within your limitations. We are here to support you every step of the way.
