What is self-esteem?
Self-esteem is how we feel about ourselves. It is a personal evaluation of our abilities and our self-worth. If you have high self-esteem you recognize you are able to achieve great things, are proud of who you are and what you do, and have a high level of self-respect. If you have low self-esteem you are less confident in yourself and will likely experience decreased self-worth. Therapy focusing on personal growth can help build self-esteem.

Causes for low self-esteem
Low self-esteem generally results from experiences in one’s personal development. We are continually impacted by how others view, and treat, us. Throughout our lives, the feedback we receive from others, and our environment, influences our sense of self-worth. The experiences we live through can have a lasting impact on the development of our self esteem.
