What are the benefits of using this Rate Your Self-esteem PTSD Worksheet?

Improved Self-Awareness

The “Rate Your Self-Esteem PTSD Worksheet” will ask clients to rate their personality characteristics. For the answers to be as accurate as possible, the client must be self-aware of which ones they don’t have, which ones they’ve fully developed, and others that may contribute to their self-esteem. 

Empowering and Positive Habit Forming

In the last part of the worksheet, the client will be asked to evaluate which characteristics they think are important for their self-esteem, which ones they wish they had more of, and brainstorm ideas on developing characteristics they want to have. Having a guide to follow can empower some clients, and working on said plans consequently trains the client to form positive habits beneficial to their self-esteem.  

Track Progress

The referring physician can ask the client to answer the worksheet as often as needed. But it’s most effective when they ask the patient to ask the client to answer it before and after an intervention or routinely (e.g., monthly) to track the progress and check the effectiveness of the therapeutic approach.
