    • To keep low self-esteem at bay, we may try to manufacture high self-esteem but, says therapist Nakita Jangra, this can often fuel our shame
    • We have therapists who specialise in working with shame and self-esteem - find them here

Having high self-esteem means:

  • being able to value ourselves
  • knowing we are worthy
  • respecting ourselves
  • having confidence in our opinions and abilities
  • knowing that we matter
  • and being able to take a level of constructive criticism without it feeling like a personal attack
