How Low Self-Esteem Begins
Overview
This CBT handout from the Centre for Clinical Interventions outlines a model explaining how low self-esteem originates from negative early life experiences. It describes the formation of negative core beliefs, such as 'I am worthless,' and the subsequent development of rigid rules and assumptions used to protect oneself. The resource details how these unhelpful behaviors maintain dormant low self-esteem by preventing the challenging of underlying negative beliefs.
