Low self-esteem can feel like being stuck in a cycle of negative self-talk—rehashing mistakes, beating yourself up, and never feeling good enough. In this video, I’ll share 6 powerful practices to rebuild your self-worth and finally quiet that inner critic.

You’ll learn how to:
Clarify your values so your self-esteem is rooted in purpose and integrity
Stop negative self-talk and replace cruel labels with compassion
Challenge mental filtering so you notice your strengths, not just your flaws
Discover your unique gifts and embrace what makes you different
Use your strengths to serve others and spark real confidence
Accept compliments and let them build you up instead of brushing them off
These practical steps go beyond affirmations. They’ll help you align with your values, strengthen your self-talk, and grow a deep sense of self-worth that lasts.

In therapy I use a combination of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Systems Theory, positive psychology, and a bio-psycho-social approach to treating mental illness and other challenges we all face in life. The ideas from my videos are frequently adapted from multiple sources. Many of them come from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, especially the work of Steven Hayes, Jason Luoma, and Russ Harris. The sections on stress and the mind-body connection derive from the work of Stephen Porges (the Polyvagal theory), Peter Levine (Somatic Experiencing) Francine Shapiro (EMDR), and Bessel Van Der Kolk. I also rely heavily on the work of the Arbinger institute for my overall understanding of our ability to choose our life’s direction.
And deeper than all of that, the Gospel of Jesus Christ orients my personal worldview and sense of security, peace, hope, and love https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/comeuntochrist/believe
