You cancel plans and avoid people—not because you don’t care, but because connection doesn’t feel safe. You’d rather not show up than risk being misunderstood. You shrink in conversations. You change your outfit five times before leaving the house. You cover up your body—even in summer. You stay quiet in meetings—even when you know the answer. This is what low self-esteem actually looks like. It’s not just “feeling bad about yourself”—it’s your brain protecting you based on old emotional memories. In this episode of The Robert Gene Experience, cohost Crystal Derksen and your host, Robert Gene Smith—neuroplastician, behavioral engineer, and creator of eutaptics® / FasterEFT—break down the real roots of low self-esteem. Not willpower. Not daily affirmations. But the emotional memories your brain uses to define who you are. You’ll also hear from Eric Chepoy, who shares how working with eutaptics® helped him finally release depression and reconnect with his power. If you’ve tried everything to “build confidence” but still feel like you’re hiding—this episode will change the way you see yourself.
