CUTV News welcomes back Dr. Marilyn Sorensen of The Self-Esteem Institute

Eugene, OR – When you have unhealthy self-esteem, you can find something negative about yourself in everything that goes on around you. You make up stories about what others are thinking. If you enter a room and see someone you know leave the room, you tell yourself she left because she saw you.

Recent surveys have shown that as much as 85 percent of the world's population is affected by low self-esteem. Left unaddressed, it can have devastating effects on an individual. 

According to Dr. Marilyn Sorensen, healthy self-esteem is fundamental to creating the life we want to experience. Dr. Sorensen is the founder of The Self-Esteem Institute. For 20 years she has been helping people around the world for develop a healthy and accurate view of themselves.

“Unhealthy self-esteem is the result of believing something that is not based on fact, truth or history. What we believe to be true about ourselves and how others perceive us is often a story we make up: in other words: fiction,” says Dr. Sorensen. “I help them see that what they are saying to themselves about themselves is not based on fact, truth, or history, but instead is based on fear."

Dr. Sorensen realized her true calling while teaching high school music and coaching girls’ athletics helping young people be successful at something and being proud of their accomplishments and realized that she had the ability to motivate them.

Today, Dr. Sorensen is the author of five books on the subject of self-esteem. Her first book, Breaking the Chain of Low Self Esteem, has been popular worldwide,
