Self-affirmations are positive statements that we tell ourselves in order to counter negative thoughts and beliefs. When we engage in self-affirmation, we affirm our worth and value as individuals. We all have moments of self-doubt, but by using affirmations, we can remind ourselves of our strengths and abilities.

Affirmations can be used in counseling to help clients move away from negative thinking patterns. By focusing on positive statements, clients can begin to see themselves in a more positive light. Counselors can use affirmations to help clients identify their personal values and build self-esteem. Additionally, affirmations can be used to help clients set goals and create a positive outlook for the future.
