Welcome to episode Nineteen, as we explore the idea of self-concept and how it is formed early in life.

In this episode we talk about the origins of our self-concept in childhood, and how the emotional safety of the family is crucial for healthy self-esteem in a child. We talk about verbal abuse and control, and how we can slowly lose ourselves. This episode is a first in our month-long series of looking at self-concept as it relates to empowerment.
