The foundation of a healthy self-esteem is self love and encompasses a belief in one's own worth - imperfections and all. Self-esteem exists on a continuum with self-love. Beyond the low self-esteem we see in ED clients, a lack of self-love is an ominous sign of pathology and failure to address a lack of self-love may leave a cause for future relapse. In this interactive workshop, Dr. Pennington offers a five-tierd approach to fostering self-love based on research and clinical experience of Cloninger, Seligman and her own group practice.
