Thine Own Self

and Mary both use each other to boost their self-esteem. Self-esteem is “a confidence and satisfaction in oneself”. John is only interested in Mary because she makes him feel young. Mary uses John because she is weak when alone. She needs to learn, to be strong and faithfully wait for him to come back. John has a great life, which includes a great wife and kids, yet he still shoots Mary and James when he sees them together. As a result of his low self- esteem, he ends someone else’s life and…

Elisabeth said in her book Born Ready, “I feel a resurgence of my 6-year-old self…that little warrior, goddess of a girl reminding me of who I was when I was little, before the world got its hands on me.”In other words, society has corrupted our way of living in our culture.

in treatment to deal with the traumatic event. In the use of the ACT model, “These survivors generally require short-term interventions, including support, therapy, and pharmacotherapy to protect themselves from self-harm (e.g., inability to care from themselves, suicide risk, and/or self-injurious behavior) or harm to other persons (e.g., murder and attempted murder)” (Yeager & Roberts, 2015, P. 470).
