How to Get Rid of Negative Thoughts And Improve Self-esteem

[@MichellePoirier12]

Yes! Ditto! The idea of "why are you holding onto someone else's thoughts?" I love that! I've never framed it like that before.

[@MichelleFarrismft]

So glad that made sense to you! Thank for watching Michelle - great name BTW :)

[@deathuponusalll]

One I found easier for myself to ease into was to say to myself “I am no more and no less worthy of love as everyone else” it felt more true to where I was at at the time and then change it later to “I am lovable”

[@MichelleFarrismft]

Yes! I talked about that in another video - sometimes adding the words “maybe” or “people think I’m….” Before affirmations can ease our minds into believing it!

[@deathuponusalll]

@@MichelleFarrismft😮I would like to watch that video, what’s the title so I may look it up?

@@MichelleFarrismft thank you so much! Ive been recently binging on videos about this and trauma bonds having just gotten out of one and going thru it. I love your channel btw, thanks again!

I so agree. I am terrible about my hateful self talk. It seems so ingrained in my soul. Lots of negative comments that must be healed. Never good enough no matter how much I try. I wished I would have heard this video 30+ years ago. But thank you Michele for some of the best videos on codependency. I'm close to 60 years old and my parents were negative comments as their total go to. I don't remember every being praised and I'm starving for it. I married a mid range narc 34 years ago. We've raised 5 kids, and they all have issues. Why wouldn't they?' They grew up in a volatile, not a stable household. I'm so very sorry for them. I realize how much work is involved in our healing process but it's got to be today.

[@MichelleFarrismft]

Hey Kelly! I'm so glad you found me and t's been helpful. Yeah there is a lot to do in relationship self-esteem recovery but having the right support makes a huge difference - :)

[@steveholmes3945]

Fantastic information!! You are very talented in the way you express the ways our lives become more fulfilling. Believe totally in the value of self talk, and you have added additional knowledge of this subject. Thank you!!!!

[@MichelleFarrismft]

You are very welcome Steve! Thanks for watching!

[@charliecollie6103]

I have learned So much from You,Michelle, about how to make important changes in my life… Thank You 🕊️💖🤙🏻🙏

[@MichelleFarrismft]

Thank you so much for that Charlie!! ❤️

[@Ashbyee]

Ditto. Ultra critical, explosive home life and hyper religious - abusive schooling. My self talk can be very very mean. This is such a helpful video. Thank you.

[@MichelleFarrismft]

I'm glad- yeah becoming aware of our self-talk is huge. Have you been able to create a positive statement?

[@NenkangmwaIliya]

Yes

[@MichelleFarrismft]

Thank you!

[@ralfj.1740]

I keep criticizing and comparing myself almost all the time 🙈 Guess it has to do with the bad grades I got at school and with having been rejected and left by women often.. and difficulties at my work place. Love your work Michelle! Greetings from Germany ☀️

[@MichelleFarrismft]

Thanks for sharing - what positive statements could you tell yourself that you BELIEVE? That's where I would start :)

[@conniejohnson4800]

The bonus tip is great. Internalize the compliments we receive. I usually say thank you and move on. Today I had a transgender woman flirt with me. She said I was cute and adorable. I went to my doctor's office to change my insurance and there she was in the reception area, flirting mightily with me. I did not know what to make of her, but I was gracious and polite and briefly talked. Tried not to stare and process at the same time. Only the second one I have ever encountered. Both men to women.

[@MichelleFarrismft]

Yeah accepting compliments and using them for positive self-talk can be very helpful.

[@LisaHoward-n9p]

You’re a great therapist you really know how to talk to people you have really helped me so far I used to have a lot of self-esteem issues because of a fact and they call psychiatrist but today they call him psychologist she would say to me, Dana you have great concentration, but you are slightly retarded, and then I took the Kleenex and I wipe my nose lumen nose then I threw it against the wall. If we were today I would’ve thrown it at her. I was so angry and sad at the same time nobody ever calls me retarded ever again they don’t use that word anymore they now use mentally impaired or Please..

[@MichelleFarrismft]
