About

Many of my patients are troubled by low self-esteem. We are often hard on ourselves and need to learn to be more accepting of our own limitations. Being compassionate with ourselves goes hand in hand with becoming kinder and more caring with others. The most common emotional disturbances that lead people to seek therapy are anxiety, depression, and anger management problems. The solution to these troubles involve four categories of irrational thinking. They are tyrannical shoulds, poor frustration tolerance ( I can't stand it), awfulizing/catastrophizing, and harsh rating of ourselves (putting ourselves down).
