Understanding low-self esteem and what can cause it is so important. Having struggled with low self-esteem myself, I know that there can also be a lot of self-blame that goes with it, but really, a lot of the time we end up feeling this way because of messages that we are fed by society and our early relationships (…so really not your fault!)

Low self-esteem is linked with things like low mood and other negative life outcomes, but I think it often goes ignored in the arena of mental health! I hope this video gives you some food for thought… ONE DAY SOON I shall follow this up with some ideas for how we can all take steps to improve our self-esteem and they way we treat ourselves.
