Why is self-esteem so important?

Sometimes our life experiences may impact on our every day lives.

Self-esteem is the overall sense of worth and value we place on ourselves.

Sometimes we notice things such as how we find it hard to accept compliments, self-blame when things go wrong or think that other people are better than you.

Our levels of confidence in our abilities and attributes contribute to our self-esteem. Having a healthy level of self-esteem plays an important role in success, relationships, and your overall happiness. A healthy self-esteem will influence your motivation and contribute to your mental health overall wellbeing. It provides you with belief in your abilities to reach goals and find fulfilment throughout life’s journey with a positive outlook.

Mandurah Psychological services are pleased to announce our new adolescent and adult program for self-esteem called SEEK.

SEEK is a 7-week program that aims to give adolescents and adults the life skills for managing their self-esteem.

What is anxiety?

In the brain the Amygdala is responsible for triggering our fight or flight response. This response is helpful when in a dangerous situation. However, sometimes the Amygdala perceives danger when there is no threat. This is called Anxiety.

Everyone has Anxiety, but sometimes it does not go away. Anxiety can start to interfere with school, home, and friendships.
Sometimes we can start to feel overwhelmed, and it is hard to understand why nobody else feels the same way.
