Self-Esteem Worksheets for Teens — Main Character Energy Decision Trees

Six trauma-informed decision trees that meet teens in the moment — when they feel not good enough, left out, ashamed, criticised, or stuck in a comparison spiral. Each tree checks in with the body first, then offers real tools matched to that state. Not theory to remember later. Something to do right now.

WHAT'S INSIDE

Sectioned learning: Not-Enough Voice · Belonging & Exclusion · Shame to Self-Compassion · Handling Criticism · Inner Critic · Comparison Spiral.

Interactive pages: Body-state check-ins (Activated vs. Shut Down) · somatic and cognitive tool branches · written reflection prompts · reassessment steps · close-the-journey affirmations.

Client favourites: The Standard Check · The Kind Friend Test · Name It to Tame It · Gentle Grounding · Is It True, Useful, or Neither? · Your Own Wins List · Phone Down, Eyes Up.

Therapist tools: Six session-ready decision trees that can be worked through in-session or sent home as between-session practice. Each tree is self-contained and printable as a standalone page.

WHAT YOU'LL NOTICE:
