Thank you very much for your paper. My favorite self-esteem builder was the “seek a healthy voice” section. I loved your example which will be forever remembered by me. I was curious if you found any information on self-esteem building and the use of humor? I lead a teen fluency group this summer and humor was incorporated throughout the session. All the teens were friends, but this component left everyone with a smile on their face, and brought the group closer together. The humor allowed the group to see that not everyone is perfect. I felt that this let the group really open up, thus building self-esteem. I imagine that it is helpful to see the humor in life and our experiences. Again, thank you for you helpful strategies for all!
