Self-esteem therapy

Do you often do things you don't want to because you find it hard to recognize your boundaries and prioritize your own needs?
Do you often treat yourself in an unloving way?
Are words like "should" and "pull myself together" things you say to yourself when you don’t succeed?
Do you judge yourself based on your achievements and "doing"?
Do you feel restless when you are in your "being"?
Do you have difficulty feeling that you are important and deserve as much space as others?

Can you recognize yourself in one or more of the statements above? Then a process where you work on adopting a more loving approach to yourself might be right for you. Start seeing the excellence in your efforts instead of focusing on where you fall short. You deserve that.

The difference between SELF-WORTH and SELF-CONFIDENCE

Do you also find it difficult to see the difference between self-worth and self-confidence?

Self-worth (being)

Self-worth is about your perception that you have value as the person you are. If you compare your self-worth to a tree's roots, you can measure the strength of your self-worth based on how strong a root system is established as a foundation.

To feel a healthy self-worth, you need to:

feel like you can be yourself without having to perform
feel valued and important to other people
appreciate and respect yourself as a person who contains both good and bad sides
feel equal to other people
feel like you have a unique place in the world, that no one can replace you in either family or among friends
be able to sense who you are, what you like, what you want, and that you are okay with your needs and desires

Self-confidence (doing)

Fundamentally, self-confidence is about having trust in your own abilities. A tree's crown - with branches and leaves symbolizes everything that you create, that is, everything you can do and how much you (dare to) express yourself.

So when you have self-confidence, you believe:

that you can accomplish what you set out to do
that your abilities are sufficient
that you have the skills needed, or you believe that you are capable of acquiring the skills needed to perform an action

So, self-confidence is about what you can do and achieve.

Self-worth is about who you are and how you feel about being yourself.

"There is no doubt that when I decided to go to therapy with Pernille Taulund, it was ultimately the best gift I have ever given myself.

I had reached a point in my life where I could see that my own behavioral patterns were standing in the way of me getting the life I wanted. Pernille is warm and welcoming, and I feel safe with her. Every time I leave, I feel peace in my heart and a great deal of motivation. She has guided me to the right path, helping me crack the code so I can feel myself and my emotions. This process has pushed me into much-needed self-development, and I thank Pernille with all my heart for getting me this far. Thank you."
