The author in the following article offered some really great advice. It supports my strong belief that we should always try to honor the various parts of ourselves, because even if the approach is not helpful, good intensions are at the core.

This is a refreshing view of self-esteem work with some excellent book references included at the end. http://news360.com/article/272863389
