In this podcast episode with Dr. Matthew May, we talk about how to feel good about ourselves, deal with low self-esteem, and overcome negative thoughts. Also, what can we do when we feel worthless? How to make our kids feel worthwhile and motivated? What’s the difference between low self-esteem and feeling worthless? “Demanding that we be better than we are is what leads to low self-esteem.” Dr. Matthew May is Board Certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology and Licensed by the California State Medical Board to practice Medicine and Psychiatry in California.
