How Low Self-Esteem is Maintained
Overview
This CBT handout from the Centre for Clinical Interventions explains the maintenance cycle of low self-esteem, targeting individuals seeking psychoeducational resources. It outlines how 'at-risk situations' activate negative core beliefs, leading to biased expectations, negative self-evaluations, and unhelpful behaviors like avoidance or withdrawal. The text describes how these cognitive and behavioral patterns reinforce negative emotions and confirm existing beliefs, thereby perpetuating the condition.
