A lecture by psychologist Anastasia Emelyanova - a conversation about self-esteem, inner criticism, and self-acceptance without complex terms. The relationship with oneself affects decisions, communication, work, rest, and even how a person lives an ordinary day. When self-esteem is based on strict demands and constant comparisons, the inner critic quickly becomes the main interlocutor. It devalues achievements, reminds of mistakes, and causes doubt where support is needed. In the lecture, psychologist Anastasia Emelyanova will analyze what self-esteem consists of and which factors most strongly influence its formation. The discussion will cover family experience, reactions from others, personal expectations, and the habit of evaluating oneself through successes or failures. We know what to see in St. Petersburg.
