Psychotherapy can help reduce anxiety and work through trauma.
Abuse of alcohol or drugs can lead to physical, psychological and social problems. People who misuse substances, do so as a coping mechanism to deal with life stress or emotional problems. Psychotherapy can help by exploring and working through the underlying stresses and problems, and by providing positive coping mechanisms to deal with stress.
People with a healthy self-esteem like and value themselves, they feel good about their achievements. People with low self-esteem are unhappy and dissatisfied with themselves and their achievements.
