Anthony is a freshman with an excellent academic background. He has begun to have problems with one of his classes and is really getting down on himself
Because he spends so much time on his school work, he hasn't developed many friendships and doesn't socialize much. Since you like Anthony and would like to help him, explain how you can use the suggestions for improving self-esteem to help him improve his self-esteem.
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: The strategies most likely to be helpful include reframing and developing an honest relationship. You might also help Anthony understand how his self-talk is affecting him and explain how visualizing completing a goal will add to his overall sense of happiness and well-being. It is also possible that Anthony needs to let go of the past. Perhaps the strategies he used successfully in high school are no longer effective in this new environment. If Anthony's difficulties are deeply ingrained, ultimately, the best suggestion might be to seek professional support.
