The Hidden Power of Values in Raising Self-Esteem

Using Values to Achieve Authenticity and Improve Self-esteem, Personally, Professionally and With Your Clients

The connection between values and authenticity is profound and integral to one’s sense of self. Values serve as the guiding principles that shape an individual’s beliefs, behaviours, and choices. When individuals align their actions with their core values, they experience authenticity and congruence between their inner beliefs and outward expressions, increasing self-esteem and confidence.

When a person’s actions and decisions are in harmony with their values, they feel a sense of integrity and purpose. On the contrary, if there’s a misalignment between actions and values, individuals may experience internal conflict and dissonance.

In the therapeutic context, encouraging clients to explore and identify their core values becomes a powerful tool for fostering authenticity. Through values clarification exercises, individuals can gain clarity about what truly matters to them. This process empowers them to make choices that align with their authentic selves, leading to a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

Moreover, therapists who are aware of their own values and practice authenticity in their professional lives create a genuine and trusting therapeutic relationship.
