A Four-Layer Clinical Framework for Lasting Change
Most clients don’t say, “My self-worth is wounded.”

They say:

•      “I feel like a fraud.”

•      “I’m exhausted from trying.”

•      “My relationships don’t work.”

•      “Nothing I do feels like enough.”

Different language. Often the same root.

The Clinical Reality
A conditional or unstable sense of worth quietly shapes:

•      Anxiety

•      Depression

•      Trauma responses

•      Addiction

•      Burnout

•      Perfectionism

•      People-pleasing

•      Imposter syndrome

•      Relationship struggles

Yet most clinical training never taught us how to work directly with self-worth.

This certificate changes that.

A Signature SWEET Institute Training
This is different from a self-esteem workshop, or affirmation coaching, or surface-level skills. This is a deep, science-grounded, clinically rigorous framework integrating:

•      Attachment science

•      Shame neurobiology

•      Psychodynamic insight

•      Identity and narrative work

•      Existential integration

•      Session-ready clinical tools 

The Four Layers of Transformation
We work across:

•      Conscious

•      Pre-Conscious

•      Unconscious

•      Existential

Because most therapy touches one layer. Lasting change requires all four.

Final SWEET Insight
Clients do not become worthy in therapy.
They rediscover the worth that was never absent, but conditioned.

The clinician’s role is to help remove the conditions.
