What is the theory behind this self-image worksheet?
The theory behind a self-image worksheet is that clients with poor self-image are more likely to develop mental health-related issues. By working on self-image, clients can develop healthy self-esteem and radiate confidence. A positive self-image is theorized to have a positive impact on mental health and acts as a protective factor against mental health disorders.
