SELF-ESTEEM

This tool helps you understand and strengthen your self-esteem – and build a kinder, more realistic relationship with yourself. It consists of six parts:

1. Intro

   You learn what self-esteem is, how it can be mapped, and how schemas influence your self-image. You are encouraged to reflect on your own starting point before you begin.

2. Self-esteem

   You explore how self-esteem develops in social contexts, why it is important, and how it changes over time. You also reflect on the gap between your current and desired self.

3. Mental schemas

   You gain insight into schemas, their origins, and how they shape your thoughts and behavior. You practice identifying and challenging negative schemas.

4. Self-compassion

   You practice meeting yourself with kindness instead of criticism. Exercises help you develop self-care, forgiveness, and a more balanced view of yourself.

5. Assertiveness

   You learn how self-esteem affects relationships and how to communicate more clearly. You practice assertiveness, setting boundaries, and embracing vulnerability.

6. Moving forward

   You summarize what you have learned and make a plan for how to maintain changes. You reflect on setbacks, prevention, and long-term growth.
