Self Love towards my partner

BloomedKnowledge August 22nd, 2019

Hello everyone;

I've been on a session with my partner, trying to help him gain respect and love for himself. I've been trying to think if different activities to help him take small steps along the way; without talking to him like I'm his therapist; But talk to him like the boyfriend I am.

He has amazing qualities that I want to put to the test to make him realize he's worth it. I just have a bit of a struggle figuring out on how to go about it.

He's very charismatic, goofy, sweet, and caring; but all he sees within himself are "negative". I'm open to suggestions.

I am not really experienced on this type of situation, but what I usualy do when my friends start saying mean stuff about themselves is to start by giving them a tight loving hug, a kiss on the forehead and tell them the opposite. It always looks weird to other peoples eyes but it works. No matter the time or place I always do that to them. It usualy helps and sometimes it gets emotional, some of my friends just need a hug. Our group has been friends for over 7 years so it's like we are a family. Sometimes when the whole group is there, if two people are hugging the rest of us will join in. Sorry I started to write about my life, but I hope things go well with your partener. Good luck to the both of you.
