negative self-talk and your self-esteem |
Self image is how we
see ourselves, and
how we think others
see us. Self image
plays a HUGE role in
how we behave and
feel.
Q: What is self
esteem?
A:
Self-esteem is our
internal feelings
and evaluation of
ourselves based on
our "perceived"
self-image.
Self-esteem and self
image are closely
inter-related. And,
are largely based on
our feedback while
growing-up (parents,
peers, other
important figures).
Fact:
it takes about 20
positive statements
ABOUT OURSELVES (the
foundation of our
self-image---self-esteem)
to counter-act even
just 1 negative
personal statement!
Here's the difficult
part:
it doesn't take a
continual repetition
of negative
statements from our
parents, peers, and
others throughout
our childhood to
cause low
self-image-self-esteem...fact
is, once we get a
couple in our head,
we can use them over
and over again.
Again and again we
take those false
negatives and repeat
them unconsciously
(completely
unaware). It's like
having a constant
heckler with you.
Can counseling help?
Most definitely.
Negative self-talk
is a big problem
that most counselors
are able to help
with using a
cognitive-behavioral
counseling approach.
It's about to replace
negative self-talk
with positive
self-talk so to
accept ourselves.
You can't draw on a
chalkboard if
there's an eraser
following close
behind. That's what
negative self-talk
is....it erases the
good, and
replenishes it with
bad.
