Self-Worth and Self-Compassion Therapy in DC, MD, and VA
Understanding Self-Worth and Self-Compassion
Self-worth refers to the intrinsic value you place on yourself, while self-compassion involves treating yourself with kindness and understanding during times of struggle. Challenges in self-worth and self-compassion can arise from various sources, including past trauma, negative self-beliefs, or societal pressures. Building a strong sense of self-worth and practicing self-compassion are essential for overall emotional well-being and personal growth.

Negative Self-Talk: Constant self-criticism or harsh judgments about yourself.
Low Self-Esteem: Persistent feelings of inadequacy or unworthiness.
Perfectionism: Setting unrealistically high standards for yourself and feeling like a failure when you fall short.
Avoidance of Self-Care: Neglecting your own needs and well-being due to a lack of self-value.
