Carl Rogers et al
Talk here about
feelings of self-worth
and self-esteem.
How do significant
people in your lives
impact your feelings of
self-worth? Do you get
messages of
unconditional positive
regard?
Do you have any
feelings of
incongruence between
your belief of who you
are and reality?
What would it take to
make you feel like you
are the best person you
could be?
NEUROPSYCHOLOGY
Gosh, because we don’t
have an MRI here to
inspect your brains, you
might want to instead look
at biological aspects of
your personality that make
you who you are—
including traumas (both
emotional—such as
PTSD, and physical
traumas to the brain),
eating disorders, serious
mental illnesses, such as
depression or bipolar
diseases, obsessivecompulsive problems, a
family history of
schizophrenia, etc.
