Is it normal to rely on others for validation or approval?

Self-Related Concerns

How we view ourselves—our abilities, worth, and identity—affects every aspect of life. Self-related concerns emerge when negative self-perceptions, low confidence, or identity struggles start affecting personal, social, or professional functioning. These concerns may develop from past experiences, societal pressures, or ongoing stress. Therapy provides a supportive space to explore self-beliefs, build self-understanding, and strengthen confidence and self-acceptance. Addressing these issues early helps improve well-being, decision-making, and life satisfaction.
