IN THIS LESSON
The psychology of self-worth — and how to build it from the inside out.
Most of us learned early that our value was something other people confirmed. A parent's approval. A partner's warmth. A manager's praise. It felt true because it worked — for a while.
But research is clear: when self-worth is contingent on external validation, it stays fragile. The relief is real, and it doesn't last. Explore this worksheet to help you understand your patterns and how you can change them.
