Self-Esteem and HealingAlong the way, I learned that one of the reasons why I tolerated abuse, was because of my low self-esteem which is a symptom of Childhood Trauma and Complex-PTSD. People have told me my entire life that I "have everything," and am an "amazing person," but I have never believed it. One of the most important parts of healing the soul and building self-esteem is re-parenting yourself and being the parent you wish you always had. It's never too late to start believing in yourself because if you don't, you will be at risk of allowing toxic relationships to recreate themselves, over and over.
