135. But I Have Low Self-Esteem

Life After Diets

Self-esteem has implications in eating disorder recovery, and this episode explores some of those -- including self-compassion, connection, competence, comparison, social expectations, shame, and even anger! Tune in for this nuanced conversation about self-esteem (and self-worth, by extension) with topics including:

• What comes first -- low self-esteem or disordered eating behaviors?
• The relationship between safety, shame, and self esteem (especially in restrictive behaviors)
• The role of creativity (for Stef) and self-compassion (for Sarah)
• Addressing the expectations we have of ourselves
• The momentum of self-esteem when it interacts with other concepts (like consistency)
• "Pinterest Moms" as a gateway to Stef's self esteem rehabilitation
• Social covert pressure vs overt pressure
• Competence for self-esteem for self worth
• The Five C's of self-esteem in research
• The role of Joy (and rethinking "joy")
• Are glimmers the opposite of triggers?
• Six Pillars of Self Esteem by Nathaniel Brandon (book)
• Self esteem vs self worth
