Better self-esteem: Effective change comes from within

Often when a person comes to therapy, it is someone else who thinks that the person needs to change: the employer, a spouse or the referring doctor.

That is not going to be enough to make lasting changes, since effective personal change has to come from within.

There must be a personal realization and insight about why it is necessary to change, since all change creates some kind of discomfort making it easier not to change but to stay the same.

As mentioned in earlier posts, this is the case since our behaviors are deeply engrained for good reasons: they have often been beneficial for us – we gain something with them.

Also, it is energy preserving to keep doing what has been somewhat working in the past.

More in the next post about how this can be relevant for you.
