Contact MinddistrictWhat is ‘Build your self-esteem’ about?
Many psychological and somatic complaints are related to low self-esteem and a negative self-image. With this short self-help module, people can take the first steps that can contribute towards developing a more realistic self-image. Firstly, the client reads psycho-education on the causes and perpetuating factors of a negative self-image. They examine their own self-image and consider an imaginary friend's perspective on it. Then, the client reads tips to help develop a more positive focus and practises with positive visualisation. Finally, they reflect on what they have learnt throughout the short self-help module.
The exercises can enable clients to identify their thoughts, acknowledge the facts and form alternative perceptions to act upon. This can help to promote more helpful behaviour that can lead clients to feel more positive and confident.
For whom is this module suitable?
This module is suitable for all who wish to start working on their self-esteem at their own pace and without guidance.
