This session is a Zoom facilitated session for students. Please be aware, you must register before 9 am on the day of the workshop, in order to ensure there is enough time for the link to be sent.

This CBT informed psychoeducational workshop is the first of a two part workshop for low self-esteem. It is likely to be suitable for you if you relate to some or most of the following:

Accepting and/or liking yourself can be difficult

Some of your life experiences have made it hard for you to appreciate and value yourself

You find it difficult to treat yourself with compassion and kindness

You have a tendency to be self-critical and self-blaming

You often experience anxiety and/or low mood as result of low self-esteem

You avoid situations/activities for fear of failure

Part 1 of understanding low self-esteem is designed to consider how life experiences and the meanings we give them contribute to low self-esteem. We will then identify patterns of thoughts, feelings and behaviour which can further reinforce our negative sense of self.

Once you have this understanding, if you would like to develop strategies on how to break out of these patterns and improve self-esteem, please feel welcome to register for Understanding Low Self-Esteem part 2: how to improve it.

This Zoom workshop will provide an opportunity for Q&A for those who wish to engage in the chat as directed by the facilitator. Audio and video functions will be disabled in the event of a large turnout for this workshop. If numbers are small, the use of the audio and video functions may be offered. Further Zoom etiquette will be sent with the meeting link.
