Who says our opinions of ourselves are accurate? After nearly 20 years in practice as a therapist, I've seen how easily those opinions can be shaped-or misshaped-by life experiences. Some clients grew up in families that repeatedly communicated things, directly and indirectly, that weren't true about their worth. Others, who seemed confident for years, found their self-esteem derailed when self-doubt or impostor phenomenon crept in.
