The key to overcoming difficult experiences lies in focusing on your true self-worth and stable identity. To boost feelings of self-worth, consider dating yourself by investing time and effort in self-care, such as dinners, flowers, compliments, and quality time. By setting a high standard for self-love, you can assess whether others genuinely deserve the love you have to offer.
Struggling with our self worth can often impact how deserving we feel of love. This sense that we may be 'unloveable' causes us to miss out on healthy, fulfilling relationships, self sabotage and stay with people who don't deserve us. In today's episode, we discuss:
- The origins of why we feel unworthy of love
- Childhood wounds
- Early romantic scripts and teen romance
- Repeated rejection and shame
- The consequences of feeling unloveable
- Repetition of toxic relationships
- How to restore or rediscover your sense of self worth and self love
And so much more. Listen now!
