We all know that high self-esteem is supposed to be good, but what is it, anyway? Is it just feeling good about yourself? What happens if you or a loved one has low self-esteem?
Ever wondered what self-esteem really means and why it's so crucial for mental health? In this engaging episode of 'A Little Help for Our Friends', hosts Jacqueline Trumbull and Dr. Kibby McMahon break down the concept of self-esteem and introduce an intriguing idea known as the Sociometer Theory. This theory suggests that self-esteem acts like a social gauge, measuring how valued and accepted we feel in society.
But it's not just about feeling good; it's about feeling valued by others too. Jacqueline and Kibby offer practical tips to help you and your loved ones boost self-esteem. They discuss the impact of early experiences, cultural norms, and significant life events on our self-worth. You'll also hear about the common struggles faced by those with low self-esteem, like negative self-talk and fear of failure.
To combat these issues, the hosts recommend practicing self-compassion, setting realistic goals, and engaging in community activities. They also highlight the strong link between mental health and self-esteem, noting how low mood can distort our sense of self-worth. Whether you're looking to improve your own self-esteem or support someone else, this episode is packed with valuable insights and actionable advice. Tune in for a fresh perspective on how to nurture your mental well-being through a better understanding of self-esteem.
