The Self-Worth Series
Dr. Gordon Cochrane, R. Psych

Our sense of worthiness greatly influences our most important decisions in life. Our sense of self influences what we imagine to be personally possible. We do not imagine success or strive for success in realms where we feel unable or unworthy. In spite of our abilities, we pull back from risks if what we imagine is failure, rejection and humiliation. Instead we lower our sites and live life from the philosophy of, better safe than sorry.

Our sense of self influences how well we take care of our health; it influences our education and career goals; it influences how well we do in performance situations; it influences how we function in relationships and it influences our overall quality of life.

The Self-Worth Series by Dr. Gordon Cochrane, R. Psych. includes the three research-validated and clinically-proven self-help programs described below. Each of these valuable programs include Dr. Cochrane's written and recorded imagery tools designed to help you strengthen your self-worth so you can enjoy greater success and fulfillment in your life.
