The Self-Esteem Workbook

I was not surprised to see among the many positive reviews of "The Self-Esteem Workbook" that readers are going through it with a counselor. It's an outstanding workbook filled with helpful insights, exercises and practices. I do believe it will be most helpful to go through it with a counselor or trusted friend so that you can discuss the content and how to apply it. If someone else isn't available, one will still benefit from going through the workbook on your own as I did. Dr. Schiraldi is a trustworthy, well-respected expert and his comprehensive knowledge is clearly seen in all the great content he included. Highly recommended!

This workbook was equally as helpful to me as the Self-Esteem book was. It was my experience that although one could work this book alone quite easily, more can be gained by doing them at the same time. Having both texts assists with definitions, assessments, and ways of looking at things. The Self-Esteem Checkup immediately revealed to me I was doing the right book. I also got a lot out of the Physical Preparation section, which gave me a boost of confidence knowing that I already take care of my body in terms of diet and exercise. I painted my opinion of myself as the book suggested, using oils as my medium. I created a very revealing artwork, which details four different faces of me. I used to be big on Self-Defeating thoughts, but by working in this book I am quicker to recognize them and replace them with more positive and self-loving thoughts. I copied many of the Daily Thought Records and worked hard in this section. I did the Eyes of Love Meditation and read it to myself for months afterwards, along with the Even-Though, Never-the-Less activity. I also made many copies of the Skill Building Worksheet and realized how my negative self-talk eats away at my self-esteem. Through this work I learned more positive self-talk, which improved my self-esteem. Doing this work took time and effort, but it is time well spent. It helped me to feel better about myself. I am learning to love myself the way I am. [...]

If ur looking for a simple book to read this is the book for u

My therapist suggest I get this book. We are working through it during our therapy sessions. I never realized how low my self esteem was until I read this book. This book has helped me heal my inner self and understand past things.

My therapist recommended this workbook to me. I have childhood trauma and apparently lacked self-worth, and didn't realize it because I don't lack confidence, etc. Within a couple of chapters of this workbook, I was already having epiphanies about my struggles to receive compliments, and feel like I am doing enough. I can't recommend it enough, and now make my friends buy it, too! I'm so glad my therapist recommended this. Mental health is so important, invest in it with this workbook!

I highly recommend this. I am someone who knew I needed a little help with my self-confidence/esteem, but it wasn't something that was debilitating. I just knew I wasn't reaching my potential, and it was because I seemed to be sabotaging myself and holding myself back. I can't afford therapy, so I thought I would get a book to work through and see if that helped. All people considering buying this book should use the "look inside" feature to see if it clicks with them. It clicked instantly with me. The section on Automatic Thoughts (ATs) that starts on page 40 is more than worth its weight in gold. Reading that, I couldn't help but be struck by how silly such thoughts are, yet how pervasive. I have used the activities in the beginning section of the book for the past 10 months at pretty irregular intervals, but even so, it is amazing how different my outlook is already. I had scribbled a bunch of notes in the book back when I first read it, and looking at at those now is like night and day. I am usually skeptical of people who make such bold claims (diets that promise to lose 10 pounds a week, get rich quick schemes, etc). But using this workbook a little per week, or irregularly as I did, and paying conscious attention to thought patterns and recognizing where they stray into the unhealthy, has made a difference. Thanks!

Got this to help build my confidence and stop being so hard on myself, especially at work. I liked reading it but the prompts weren’t as fulfilling as I had hoped. I do think it’s good for the piece though!

Can really map things out

This workbook has helped me a lot during a difficult time of my life. I would recommend to anybody who wants to start making some changes in themself.

Every once in a while I have to be around difficult people who cause me pain and I have to heal my self-esteem. This book did the trick for me. I’m ok again. It says that love heals so I wish this for all of us. This is a helpful book. Buy with confidence.

Immediately after reading this book as a clinical psychologist looking for tools supporting my Clients' recovery I could not believe that some professional dared to publish so naive and out-of-touch boos about human struggle. Person who believes that this book helped them should then reach out and seek help for their intellectual disability problems.

Sto libro é para-scientifico non di certo qualcosa mi aspetterei. Sembra stato fatto per una comunità di mormoni. Nope.

Excelente servicio.
