What does it mean to value oneself beyond career achievements?
“Worth as a person” meaning
I hear therapists often say “you’re worth enough as a person” as advice for self-esteem issues. I’m still struggling to understand what that is. I don’t buy it entirely as myself I don’t think I’m worth anything besides my career abilities. There’s proven evidence that I have mathematical abilities (e.g. I have a PhD in the subject). But if you take that away, there’s nothing more. I’m just an empty shell of a person. So that advise is not something I’d say applies to me. At least not in my interpretation of it. What are y’all’s thoughts?
