Do you sometimes feel like being more loving to yourself indicates you are selfish, self-centered or narcissistic? As a licensed psychotherapist I find this to be a very common misconception in my practice – and today we’re going to sort that out!
What it really comes down to is you building a good relationship with yourself. How you feel about yourself sets the bar for all of your other relationships, romantic or otherwise.
What does self-love really mean? To me, authentic self-love means a few things – regarding yourself in the same positive way that you do other people you love; holding yourself in high esteem; treating yourself with respect; speaking kindly about yourself and to yourself.
