Your roommate, 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 has not 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 improve his self-esteem.
What will be an ideal response?


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 visualization might help him see his goals better. 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.
