Selfless Esteem

Dear Selfless Esteem, I’ve been grieving the death of a loved one for years. I feel comforted at church because of my belief that we will be together in Heaven, but other than that, I don’t feel much better. I understand the grieving process lasts a lifetime, but I thought I would have healed a little bit by now. When will the pain decrease? Signed, Stuck in Bereavement

Dear Selfless Esteem, Anger management is not my greatest strength. Recently, I took my frustration out on a coworker by snapping at him and making a big deal out nothing. I’ve been this way all my life so how can I be any different? Signed, Short Fuse

Hi, I’m Gina Leggio. Having been a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist for over 20 years, I’ve observed how the mental health field has emphasized self-esteem. I’ve also noticed how this can be counterproductive because it involves self-evaluation, which causes insecurity, anxiety, and more.

I define Selfless Esteem as freedom from self-consciousness by focusing on our Creator, who is “the Beginning and the End” (Revelation 1:8). The result is joy and peace.
