Selbstwert, 75 Therapiekarten

Low self-esteem is a topic that runs through many life stories and therapies, regardless of the disorder or diagnosis the patient is suffering from. To improve self-esteem in psychotherapy, two approaches seem sensible: On one hand, many patients view themselves too critically and are overly harsh on themselves. Therefore, it benefits self-esteem when they learn to be more loving and forgiving towards themselves. On the other hand, self-esteem is enhanced when a person experiences success, achieves their goals, and can assert themselves socially. Gitta Jacob and Laura Seebauer implement corresponding interventions in card form:

• Module 1: Identifying personal self-esteem issues
• Module 2: Becoming your own best friend
• Module 3: Reducing excessive standards and establishing realistic ones
• Module 4: Achieving goals more effectively
• Module 5: Becoming more confident in interactions with others

With numerous exercises, psychoeducational texts, examples, and visual prompts, the card set provides a diverse toolkit for working on the topic of self-esteem. The cards can be used independently of any specific disorder - whether in psychotherapy and counseling or in other psychological and educational settings.
