This is to understand and integrate Nathaniel Branden's The Six Pillars of Self-Esteem:
Self-Acceptance: Embracing and advocating for oneself.
Living Consciously: Introspecting for higher awareness.
Self-Responsibility: Accountability for actions and pursuit of goals.
Self-Assertiveness: Expressing needs and values respectfully.
Living Purposefully: Setting and actively pursuing specific goals.
Personal Integrity: Consistency between actions and values.
Our discussion centered on how self-esteem, combining self-efficacy and self-respect, fosters independence and positively guides our lives, distinguishing it from narcissism.
Complementary Modality: Nathenial Branden's Stem Completion.
Self-acceptance was explored as the practice of embracing your thoughts, emotions, and actions with kindness, building confidence and self-respect through self-commitment, self-awareness, and self-compassion.
Complementary Modality: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).
We delved into the concept of living consciously, focusing on being aware of and understanding the influences on our actions, goals, values, and purposes, and acting in harmony with this awareness.
Complementary Modality: Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and art therapy.
Emphasizing the importance of self-responsibility, we highlighted the need to control our actions, thoughts, and feelings, aligning decisions with our values and goals for personal growth and happiness.

Hey, I am Fai. I'd describe myself as quite eccentric, benevolently self-interested, super energetic, and overtly expressive. I am in love with exploring people's inner worlds, particularly mine.
My interest in Psychology began when my therapist suggested I take up Psychology. After completing my sessions with her, many books, and deep conversations, here I am sharing what I've learned. I am currently training to be a hotline crisis volunteer and will be pursuing an M.A. in Clinical Psychology.
Psychology Society is simply a place where I share my learnings and have genuine deep conversations. I adore offline spaces; I don't think we have enough of those where we can comfortably sit down with a stranger and actually talk about who we are.
