Neglecting your needs and having an uncaring attitude towards yourself is a common symptom of depression. Feeling low, self-criticism and self-blame encourages a neglectful and uncaring attitude towards yourself.
In turn, this contributes to low mood and low self-worth. It is a vicious cycle.
Therapy breaks this pattern. Therapy sessions frequently address how to help people gain a stronger sense of self. People with low self-esteem often work with therapists on becoming more assertive, confident, and self-aware.
Being able to identify and use coping skills is an important tool for modifying stress levels and dealing with difficult feelings. Therapy helps you identify the things that calm you down and soothe you, and teaches you how to take a more caring attitude towards yourself.
