A longitudinal formulation based on Fennell's cognitive model of low self-esteem — mapping how early experiences created a negative bottom line that is maintained by biased processing and unhelpful rules.
Practise responding to yourself with the same kindness you would offer a friend — challenging the self-critical voice with compassion.
Map out how early experiences led to negative core beliefs and the rules, triggers, and maintenance cycles that keep low self-esteem going.
Build a catalogue of your strengths, qualities, and achievements — evidence that doesn't fit the negative bottom line.
A compassion-focused cognitive worksheet for working with guilt and harsh self-critical thoughts. It guides you to examine a self-critical or guilt-laden thought, weigh the evidence fairly, take an honest look at how much was truly within your control, and find a kinder, more balanced perspective - the kind you would offer a good friend.
A diary for catching your inner critic in the moment - noticing what it says, the tone it uses, and the effect it has on you. This is about watching the critic with curiosity, before working on changing it.
A plain-language explainer on why comparing ourselves to others is normal, how it can quietly feed low self-worth, especially on social media, and what helps.
A maintenance-cycle explainer on how a deep belief like I am not good enough stays alive through a biased filter, anxious predictions, self-criticism and avoidance, and how the cycle breaks.
