Course description and
syllabus
Self-esteem and self-worth are about
defining who you are and accepting it. Many people, however, judge or criticise
themselves unfairly and this can lead to many problems including
underperformance, risk-taking, poor communication and relationships, unhelpful
habits and addictions. Some people have a constant stream of “poisonous”
negative self-criticism that has been called “the pathological critic.”
This course provides techniques drawn from
cognitive behavioural (behavioral) therapy (CBT) and other methods to identify
what is interfering with self-esteem and how to stop self-criticism, perform an
accurate self-assessment, reduce stress and improve confidence. Specific
techniques are outlined relating to specific self-esteem problems, including
dealing with distorted thinking, forming healthy values, coping with mistakes,
responding to criticism, being assertive in asking for what you want, goal
setting, visualization and self-hypnosis techniques. There is also information
on child self-esteem.
The course can be taken as a professional
development course for counsellors or therapists, or for personal interest.
