  • Summary

  • A discussion of The Roots of Self-Esteem by author and trauma psychologist Ernie Vecchio. He proposes that childhood experiences deeply shape an individual's self-esteem. He posits that harsh judgment, neglect, or criticism from caregivers can wound a child's developing sense of self-worth, leading to internalized shame. This shame can manifest in adulthood as self-protective behaviors like perfectionism or people-pleasing, ultimately reinforcing negative self-perception. Vecchio emphasizes the detrimental impact of such early experiences on an individual's emotional well-being and overall sense of self.
