Ask The Therapist (With Dr. Nicholas Jenner)

How do you truly raise your self-esteem to a positive level? Why is it important to do so? Self-esteem is a big issue for all of us and we could all do with more. In therapy, it is one of the most sought after goals that clients put on their wish list. “I need to increase my self-esteem”, I often hear. Just how many truly know what they are asking for is questionable; Increasing your self-esteem means shedding the image you have of yourself and finding the courage to take action and face fears. The very fears that created the image in the first place. Listen as I discuss living consciously, finding self-acceptance, living responsibly and living an authentic life.

Those of you who have been following the blog will be aware that I am currently in the midst of a period of reflection. Reaching 60 has got me thinking about my life to this point and how it might look going forward. I am trying to become aware of who I really want to be as a person, the basis for my recent article. At long last, I'm making an effort to come to grips with my codependency and define who I really am. I am not my relationships or the blurred lines that often exist in codependent identity. Somewhere along the path to 60, I got lost with the idea that I don't matter but other people do. Here I talk about the Path to Freedom.

Join me on my latest podcast where I will be looking at the types of codependent I have observed over the years and the behaviour associated with each type. This is not a formal diagnosis.

The voices in our head that guide us are not always functional. Many of these protector voices were formed in childhood to keep us away from hurt and trauma. They follow us into adulthood and they are powerful influences on our lives. However, they stop us moving forward and facing our real fears. Learn how to identify and work with the protectors to move yourself forward.

When you are knowingly aware that you are doing or not doing something that could move you forward, you are living a lie. It starts as a small lie and turns into a much larger lie that tells you "I can't". While living this lie, we look only for the evidence that will uphold this lie and reject counter evidence. Start telling yourself the truth and take at least one issue forward using our 7 Day Challenge. Good Luck!
