Professional and discreet counseling for individuals, couples and families
Self-esteem Group for Teens
based on the workbook by Lisa M. Schab
|
Book Overview:
As a teen, it
is incredibly important to have self-confidence,
especially when you consider societal pressures
about appearance and grades. Just growing up is
difficult in and of itself, and in the midst of all
this life-related stress, you may not be seeing
yourself clearly. In fact, you may be magnifying
your weaknesses and minimizing—or even ignoring—your
true assets.
Psychologists believe that low self-esteem is at the root of many emotional problems. When you have healthy self-esteem, you feel good about yourself and see yourself as deserving of the respect of others. When you have low self-esteem, you put little value on your opinions and ideas, and may find yourself fading into the background of life. Without some measure of self-worth, you cannot accomplish your goals. In The Self-Esteem Workbook for Teens, you will learn to develop a healthy, realistic view of yourself that includes honest assessments of your weaknesses and strengths, and you will learn to respect yourself, faults and all. You will also learn the difference between self-esteem and being self-centered, self-absorbed, or selfish. Finally, this book will show you how to distinguish the outer appearance of confidence from the quiet, steady, inner acceptance and humility of true self-esteem.
This group will use
practical exercises to help you deal with setbacks and
self-doubt, skills for dealing with criticism, and
activities that will aid in the development of
self-awareness, self-acceptance, and self-worth. With the
right amount of self-confidence, you will have the emotional
resources you need to reach your goals. |
