Self Esteem, Confidence, How to Love Yourself, Human Needs & Humanistic Psychology

Self Esteem & Confidence, How to Love Yourself, Maslow's Hierarchy of Human Needs & Humanistic Psychology

This video examines self esteem and how it relates to humanistic psychology and Maslow's hierarchy of human needs. Corrina discusses Maslow's Expanded Hierarchy of Needs and the PsycheTruth Heierarchy as well; illustrating how satisfying the higher level needs may actually boost our esteem needs, too.

It is human nature to feel anxiety, fear of what others think of us, to feel uncomfortable in social situations, to feel depression, loneliness, etc. Often we feel we're "not pretty enough" or "not smart enough" and we worry about how others perceive us. How can we actually stop caring about what people think and stop struggling to accept who we are?

While this video alone cannot tell you how to be confident, how to love yourself, and how to simply stop caring what people think, it will give you some tips and tools to get started. When we feel depressed, sad, and are being hard on ourselves, it's important to be thankful for the little things and to remember how much we have to offer, to find our purpose and passion despite the limits all around us.

My problem is that I cannot even fulfil my basic needs as I have never been in a relationship. This affects my esteem and as a result I am not attractive to women and the whole vicious cycle continues. Any advice?

[psychetruth]

@rinnin The most basic need is love for yourself. The main point in this video is not to worry about what others think of you. Self esteem comes from within YOU, not someone else. No one can lower your self esteem but you, and only you can make the choice to feel good about yourself. Think about what makes you unique, your passions, dreams & values. Even people in relationships can have esteem issues. This vid suggests ways we can increase our self esteem, no relationship needed.

Thats allot to remember,

[psychetruth]

@LAyellowdog Then fave the vid and come back to it anytime you're feeling down. I'm also a fan of making little sticky notes around the house, to remind myself to be positive, be true to my passions, not let my fear and self doubt prevent me from pursuing my dreams, etc.

This seems to go against the doctorine of pyshology today where many therapists teach patients Robert Ellis REBT. And his ABC model of rational emotive therapys. instead of endlessly trying to satisfy your self esteem you accept that your fallible, have flaws and that your no more worthy or less worthy than any other human being.

[psychetruth]

@tiberiousss Cognitive Behavior Therapy is one popular psychotherapy used today but it's one school of therapy (basically Ellis's brand) and it's not the only school or type of therapy used. There are psychotherapists, humanistic psychologists, and many other types.

Yes, these school often contradict one another in there basic philosophy. Ellis was famous for not liking many other school of thought.
