What we can explore
- Self-criticism and comparison
- Assertiveness and boundaries
- A more balanced self-image
Understanding self-criticism
Past experiences, comparisons and expectations can shape the way you judge yourself. We can explore these influences and the situations in which self-doubt becomes strongest.
Building a more balanced perspective
Sessions may focus on recognizing strengths, questioning all-or-nothing judgments and making decisions that reflect your values. Confidence can grow through specific experiences, rather than pressure to think positively.
Practicing self-respect
Expressing a need, setting a limit or trying something new can be part of the work. Together, you and your therapist can identify manageable opportunities and review what they bring up.
