Depression
Low Self-Esteem
In Combination
Irritability, hostility, isolation, fear of judgment or criticism, may compound these challenges.
Therapeutic Treatment Challenge
Understanding and implementing strategies, tactics, techniques, and skills can be critical.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
can offer a combination of insight, understanding, and
skill-based methods to offer the gains that you seek.
Depression and low self-esteem may be associated with low self-determination (lacking autonomy, competence, and relatedness), low self-worth (deflating one’s sense of value), or loss of perceived locus of control (the world controls my destiny).
Depressed and low self-esteem feelings may be combined with negative self-talk, interpersonal conflict, sensitivity to criticism, and the uses of isolation and hostility as a protective factor.
If you are feeling isolated, destructive, or not helpful to yourself, your sense of agency may be depleted.
Lack of agency can complicate how you view yourself and your capabilities.
Cognitive behavior therapy can be implemented to minimize the damage, make repairs, and build a good life.
Grounding techniques, distraction, self-soothing, mastery-seeking, reinterpretation of experiences, and radical acceptance may help shift how you think, how you feel, and what you do which combine to change intrapersonal and interpersonal outcomes.
