What worked for low self esteem?

I have terrible self-esteem that stems from severe bullying and parental issues. I have had years and years of CBT and counselling. I really do commit to it and understand where it comes from and the steps to take but it never actually seems to change my underlying feelings. I’ve had EMDR for complex PTSD, seen a psychiatrist who didn’t think there was anything else other than anxiety (which I do still struggle with and have help for), seen a psychologist and had CBT and counselling. Can anyone think of anything else to suggest? I am willing to try anything, I’m fed up of feeling like this.

There’s a text you can get by search engine that put things in perspective for my daughter. I think it’s called ‘My Mask’. It explained that we ALL have times when we doubt ourselves and need help but this can make us feel vulnerable. Even the most confident of us. Sending respect and hugs to you. ❤️
