Interpreting your results

Now, count up the amount of times you answered A, B, & C. Remember that this quiz is intended to provide guidance, not definitive answers.

If you answered mostly A’s…

This is an indicator that you practice self-care, have compassion for yourself, and honor your emotional, physical, and mental needs! You are engaging in behaviors that establish healthy self-esteem that allows you to embrace your self-worth. Keep it up!

If you answered mostly B’s…

You are demonstrating certain behaviors that promote your well-being, but might struggle with being consistent. It is important to focus on using self-compassion and prioritizing your needs more often. I encourage you to continue practicing the behaviors you already are familiar with, and slowly add in ones that are new to you. Therapy can always be a resource to guide you through this!

If you answered mostly C’s…

It is possible that you are having a hard time demonstrating self-love. Maintaining healthy self-esteem and a sense of self worth leads to happier relationships, job satisfaction, and a more positive outlook on life. It is especially important to start taking small steps to show yourself some love and care. To help initiate this process, a therapist can provide you not only with tools to start your self-love journey but also be a source of encouragement.

A therapist’s perspective on self-love

In all of my sessions, I try to incorporate conversations about self-esteem regardless of what someone is going through. The relationship you have with yourself is the most important one, and having a therapist who can help unravel what needs aren’t being met can be especially beneficial. Increasing your levels of self-love has the power to truly change the state of your mood and impact your worldview. I see every day how the work of increasing self-compassion and self-care can have a positive influence on how clients view themselves. It is the ultimate self-care to find a therapist that can help you navigate any challenges you face, so reach out today for a consultation! Happy Valentine’s Day!
