Rewrite the stories you tell yourself--about yourself--and supercharge your self-esteem.
Are you constantly telling yourself that you'll never be good enough, smart enough, or deserving of any good things in your life? Have the negative stories you tell yourself about yourself become so ingrained that you believe them as truth? Have you ever considered that you--the narrator--may not be remembering everything as it actually happened? When we think about our life stories, we often create an unconscious bias by distorting or eliminating events altogether. So, how can you write your true story--the one that reflects your authentic self?
With The Narrative Therapy Workbook for Self-Esteem as your guide, you'll embark on a healing journey of writing and reflection to rediscover your genuine truth and supercharge your well-being. You'll finally get those negative stories you've been telling yourself down on paper--where they'll lose their power over you. Then, you'll be free to create a more mindful, and truthful, self-compassionate narrative, without being influenced by your inner critic.
This workbook will help you:
- Examine how your life story has been shaped by your experiences
- Build resilience, self-compassion, and confidence
- Expand your perspective on yourself, your experiences, and the world around you
- Create stories that reflect who you really are
