For me I had to understand why I had low self worth. Mine was tied to the treatment that I received from my mom. I think that it is important to understand how you got that way because these early experiences continue to send you messages about your self worth until you dig them up and expose them. For example, my mom emotionally neglected me so this sends the message that if your mom ignores you, you must be worthless. With further inspection, however, my mom didn't ignore me because I was worthless but because she had a mental illness. So I could get rid of the thoughts that fed my low self worth. From there you can build your self-worth..........
