Loving Yourself So You Can Love Others (?)

Posted by Poet on August 10, 2006, at 13:36:07

My husband thinks that in order to love others, you have to love yourself first.
I would ask my T, but she'd probably just tell me that I know I need to stop putting myself down and find things other than career for self esteem. I've been hearing that for four years- it sinks in, but gets pushed right out with my next negative thought.
I have no self esteem. I hate myself. Though I do have feelings for my husband, I don't know if it's love (not sure what that feels like), but I care about him. So is he wrong?
Ideas welcome.
