Ever feel like growing up in church messed with your self-esteem, like, a LOT? (Spoiler alert: You're not alone!)
Self esteem can be hard to come by these days, but especially if you grew up in churches and had to deal with any of the messages below (and then some). In this week's Ask a Therapist Video, we are going to get into how growing up in religion could have negatively impacted your self esteem, because it has come to my attention lately just how many adults are walking around out there still carrying the baggage foisted on them from hearing some very, VERY not ok things very early on in their brain development.
In this video, we're getting real about how church life can sometimes lead to those impossible expectations to be "perfect." Thinking your problems don't matter, because church first, your feelings... later? Maybe never?
Sometimes it meant bottling it all up. Doubts? Mental health struggles? Let's just pretend they don't exist! The toxicity of the creation story, especially for women, can be a real kick in the teeth.
If this sounds familiar, grab a cuppa (or your beverage of choice) and let's chat! We'll explore how to ditch the guilt, build healthy self-esteem, and move forward in life without all that baggage. #religiousbeliefs #selfesteem #askatherapist
