Self-esteem is not what popular culture tells us it is. We are told that self-esteem is a positive perspective on who we are, how we look, move speak, do, etc. This perspective makes us think that the way of achieving better self-acceptance is through numerous ways of bettering ourselves: diets, exercises, routines, etc. This or valid ways of changing something in your life but they won’t support your self-esteem. What we consciously think about ourselves, what others think about us doesn’t reach to the levels where our self-value permeates.

Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP) is an accelerated, emotion-focused form of psychotherapy designed to help patients rapidly overcome a wide range of psychological and interpersonal problems. It operates on the principle that many psychological symptoms (like anxiety, depression, and chronic pain) are caused by unconscious, buried, or conflicting feelings that the mind defends against. When these feelings rise, the anxiety generated by the internal conflict is often misdirected into physical symptoms or maladaptive coping patterns.
