'A thoroughly enjoyable read, and [I] would recommend trainee therapists read it also, as it will increase your understanding of the treatment of low self-esteem.' BABCP Magazine

Low
self-esteem can make life difficult in all sorts of ways. It can make
you anxious and unhappy, tormented by doubts and self-critical thoughts.
It can get in the way of feeling at ease with other people and stop you
from leading the life you want to lead. It makes it hard to value and
appreciate yourself in the same way you would another person you care
about.

Melanie Fennell's acclaimed and bestselling self-help
guide will help you to understand your low self-esteem and break out of
the vicious circle of distress, unhelpful behaviour and self-destructive
thinking. Using practical techniques from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
(CBT), this book will help you learn the art of self-acceptance and so
transform your sense of yourself for the better.

Specifically, you will learn:

How low self-esteem develops and what keeps it going

How to question your negative thoughts and the attitudes that underlie them

How to identify your strengths and good qualities for a more balanced, kindly view of yourself

Overcoming self-help guides
use clinically proven techniques to treat long-standing and disabling
conditions, both psychological and physical. Many guides in the
Overcoming series are recommended under the Reading Well Books on Prescription scheme.
