What is the best therapy for low self-esteem?
There are a variety of different therapeutic techniques that are very effective in treating low self-esteem. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can be very helpful in identifying negative thought patterns that have been creating and facilitating the ongoing feelings of low self-esteem. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy can be incredibly helpful in getting to the root of where your low self-esteem developed, and shifting your belief system to a more positive and realistic view of yourself and the world around you. I use these therapeutic techniques often in my approach, along with others including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), strength-based psychology, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT).
