Tips for confidence & self love
I feel like a lot of my feelings of self worth are dependent on a lot of other people & their approval of me. I was raised in a mentally and emotionally, and sometimes physically abusive household. And I’ve taken treatment I shouldn’t have just so the person wouldn’t leave me or hate me even if it’s crossing my boundaries. My confidence is so bad and I really don’t love/value myself like I should. Anyone have tips on that?
Show your support
Realizing and understanding that you depend on others for self worth/ approvals etc. is really a big step! I use a lot of self help books to teach myself what I wasn’t taught in my household growing up. I have a similar childhood experience and it can be hard when you don’t even know what you don’t know.
being with the right people helps, support partner and great circle of friends. i wake up everyday knowing im gods gift to earth lol my confidence/self love has become too strong over the years haha

These are things a therapist can definitely help with. But you can start now by keeping a daily journal of things that you like about yourself and your life and what you look forward to or general positive things. Every day. Train your brain. I also feel much better after a walk or moving my body and putting something good into it. Be gentle. Good luck 🩷
