johnharrisoncounseling.com/true-calling-project/ Sharon Martin, LCSW specializes in working with people to improve their self concept and esteem. So much of what stops us from taking steps to realize our potential is in our negative self talk and ingrained negative self concepts we hold. In the interview Sharon and I discuss: What drew her to work with people around self esteem issues - the common tenants that she sees in the clients she works with - why we are so much harder on ourselves than we are on others - where negative belief patterns tend to come from - why it's good to challenge our beliefs - how seeing ourselves as separate hinders our growth and personal attainment - the messages society tells us about who we are - why we tend to avoid risk - why it's important to find your "tribe" - why self worth is unconditional - and why we tend to believe in the "illusion of success" and the illusion of an "arrival". Sharon has recently released her ebook called "Setting Boundaries Without Guilt: A Workbook to Move You From Doormat to Empowerment" and can be purchased here:
