Self esteem

[Difficultdecisions]

I have been told by my CBT therapist that I have low self esteem. Does anyone have any practical advice about how I can improve this?

Hi OP, well you me, and many, many people. I think its a combination of things, but I was recommended this book by a counsellor and its a good place to start

All the best.

Things that helped me build self esteem when recovering from depression were singing in a choir, learning how to ride horses and volunteering at a children's home. I think these activities helped because both singing and riding requires you to be "in the moment" and gives you a sense of achievement afterwards. It's therapeutic. Volunteering helped me feel that I was a useful member of society.
