Self-Esteem and Self-Worth is not something changed overnight, but instead a series of events that validate a notion of the self either positively or negatively. While we may not have much control over what happens to us, we can change perspective. All it takes is one flaw to be identified in a negative notion of the self, to start distrusting it. In therapy, these discoveries happen, along with opportunity to exchange that trust and validity into a much more positive cognition of the self.
