ABSTRACT
One of the main reasons behind a general lack of self-esteem or self-confidence is that these naturally occurring feelings have been eroded over a long period of time. If this erosion started in early childhood, it is possible that even the concept of self-esteem or self-confidence might seem strange or alien. Just as people have a right of determination over their own body, they have the right to their own space—whether it is physical space, psychic space, head-space, or whatever. People also have the right to stand on firm ground. Everyone needs to be a degree of surety, of security, of consistency. Chaos is not all right. Domination is not all right. People may need to determine what their ground is, as no one else can really do this for them. So, when they are standing on it, then they need to claim it. They need to find the place or space that works for them.
