This course focusses on a common challenge for many people, namely a sense of low self-esteem and self-worth. Self-critical thoughts often lead us to view ourselves as ‘not being enough’ or not ‘measuring up’ in some way. It is known that low self-esteem can contribute to stress, anxiety and depression. It can also interfere with life generally, such as engaging in activities, making social connections and functioning at work, and can contribute to distress and suffering.

The training is is open to GPs, mental health and allied health professionals, therapists and counsellors. It is accredited as Focussed Psychological Strategies (FPS) for ongoing CPD, and by the RACGP (Educational Activity 4.5 and Reviewing Performance 2 hrs). ACRRM accreditation applied for. 

The training is based on adults (all ages) struggling with self-esteem issues, but many of the principles are applicable to younger people as well.
