We all know due to our own experiences that romantic relationships can be very hard work. It is interesting how easily and quickly we take such steps to repair or prevent damage to our vehicles. But when it comes to our relationships, we often avoid taking action until the situation has become much more serious or even toxic. Relationship issues in the present always relate to our childhood experiences in the past
Self-esteem is your subjective sense of overall personal worth or value. Similar to self-respect, it describes your level of confidence in your abilities and attributes. Nobody has a perfect childhood and whether it’s our parents, teachers or peers that have impacted us, we all go through things in our lives that make our self-esteem lower. Needless to say, there can always be work done to realize our inherent worth

As humans, we are all imperfect, and therefore it can be difficult to coexist with others in romance, friendships, and family dynamics. Sometimes it requires healing the inner child and attachment issues and other times learning boundaries.

Trauma is the lasting emotional, psychological and physical response that comes from living through a distressing event or childhood.

Physical health issues often affect one's mental health. Therapy can help individuals experiencing this to reduce stress and adjust to new circumstances. It could also help the surrounding loved ones cope and teach them how to better support their loved one experiencing the health issues.
Having healthy self-esteem can majorly impact your motivation, mental well-being, and overall quality of life. Key elements of self-esteem include self confidence, feelings of security, identity, a sense of belonging, and feelings of competence.
Psychotherapy has the benefit of giving clients someone to talk to and to validate their words and experiences. It can create a new way of looking at difficult problems and help people move toward a solution. Participants in therapy can gain a better understanding of themselves and their own goals and values, have self-actualization, and can develop skills for improving relationships and their past experiences. It can help to overcome specific problems, such as an addiction, eating disorder, or phobia. In order for psychotherapy to work, the person receiving it must be actively engaged and work during the session as well as between sessions, by practicing new skills and trusting in their therapist to give them the results they are looking to get out of therapy. Psychotherapy can be challenging as it may get you to look at difficult life experiences such as traumas and bad memories and relive these experiences. It is important to have open communication with your therapist about these experiences, as it is normal to sometimes feel re-traumatized or unpleasant when we open doors of difficult past life experiences. The reason why these doors are opened is to become more aware of the ways in which our past affects us and may be holding us back from our full potential in life. Psychotherapists are trained not to open any doors in therapy that cannot be closed and are very intricate and careful about how they unpack traumas and help you heal them
