Rebuilding self-worth after abuse

Gentle, practical steps to reconnect with your value and strengths.

Resource Centre·Workbook · 6 min read

Abuse can chip away at how we see ourselves. Rebuilding self-worth is not about becoming someone new — it's about reconnecting with the person who was always there.

Start small and specific

  • Notice one thing you did today that took courage or care
  • Speak to yourself as you would to a good friend
  • Reclaim small choices — a meal, a song, how you spend an hour

Reconnect with your strengths

Think of a time you got through something hard. The qualities that carried you then are still yours now. Write them down where you can see them.

Healing isn't linear, and progress can be quiet. Be patient with yourself. Working alongside a supportive therapist or coach can help you rebuild confidence at a pace that feels safe.

Want to go deeper?

Work one-to-one with our team to put these tools into practice, at a pace that feels right for you.
