Any counselor will tell you that one of the most common problems observed when people come for help is poor communication skills in their relationships. This isn’t their fault…communication is a skill many of us never formally learned.
In our counseling practice, it’s not only the people who see us that are sometimes concerned with their own self-esteem, but they are sometimes concerned about the people they care about. Low self-esteem can affect any relationship and it isn’t always on the person seeking counseling.
