WHAT DOES LOW SELF-ESTEEM FEEL LIKE?
While specific symptoms of low self-esteem may look different for individual people, generally they include some symptoms in the following categories:
EMOTIONAL SYMPTOMS
Emotional symptoms of low self-worth often manifest as feelings of inadequacy, self-doubt, and worthlessness. Individuals may experience frequent sadness, anxiety, or depression as a result of negative self-perceptions. They may also struggle with a persistent fear of failure or rejection, leading to feelings of shame or guilt. These emotional symptoms can significantly impact overall well-being and interpersonal relationships, making it challenging to navigate daily life with confidence and self-assurance.
COGNITIVE SYMPTOMS
Cognitive symptoms of low self-worth often involve negative self-talk and distorted beliefs about oneself. Individuals may engage in constant self-criticism, doubting their abilities and worthiness. They may also have a tendency to compare themselves unfavorably to others, leading to feelings of inferiority and insecurity. These cognitive patterns can contribute to a pervasive sense of self-doubt and undermine one's confidence in various areas of life.
PHYSICAL SYMPTOMS
The physiological symptoms associated with low self-worth can include increased stress levels, tension in the muscles, and changes in appetite or sleep patterns. Individuals may experience fatigue, headaches, or gastrointestinal discomfort as a result of chronic stress and anxiety related to their self-esteem. These physiological responses reflect the body's reaction to negative self-perceptions and can impact overall well-being.
BEHAVIORAL SYMPTOMS
Behavioral symptoms of low self-worth often manifest as avoidance of social situations, difficulty asserting boundaries, and seeking validation from others. Individuals may engage in self-sabotaging behaviors, such as procrastination or perfectionism, to cope with feelings of inadequacy. In relationships, they may struggle to trust others, fear rejection, or tolerate criticism, leading to difficulties in forming and maintaining healthy connections. These symptoms can significantly impact one's ability to function effectively in various areas of life and may contribute to feelings of isolation and loneliness.
Redefine your worth.
Low self-worth is a pervasive issue affecting millions worldwide, with research indicating its prevalence across all age groups and demographics. Individuals grappling with low self-esteem often face significant challenges in various aspects of life, including relationships, career advancement, and mental well-being. The impact of low self-worth extends beyond individual experience, influencing social interactions, decision-making processes, and overall quality of life. Addressing these underlying issues through therapy can lead to profound improvements in self-confidence, resilience, and life satisfaction.

DON'T LET WORRY GET IN YOUR WAY
How do I know if my experience is severe enough to need therapy? Trauma isn't solely defined by the severity of an event but by how it affects you emotionally and psychologically. Even if your experiences seem less severe than others, they can still have a significant impact on your emotional well-being and interfere with the quality of your life. Trauma therapy can help you understand and manage these feelings, providing support tailored to your unique situation. Your feelings are valid, and you don't have to face recovery alone.
I’m worried about the cost of therapy. We understand that the cost of therapy can be intimidating and a very realistic barrier to treatment for many people. This is why we, at Aspen Grove Wellness, are in network with most major commercial payers and have a radical commitment to helping you access your health insurance benefits. If you would like to know your specific benefits, we recommend that you call the Member Services number on the back of your insurance card.
Do I have to relive painful memories in therapy? Our trained trauma therapists specialize in a number of different evidence-based and trauma informed treatment modalities. Trauma informed treatment is designed to help you process and heal from your experiences in a safe and supportive environment. Therapists use various techniques to gently guide you through your emotions at your own pace, but you remain ultimately in the driver's seat of your therapy. The goal is not to make you relive trauma but to help you understand and manage your feelings effectively, leading to healing and empowerment.
