LEHI, Utah — Worth It Counseling + Consulting was recently featured on Good Things Utah on ABC4, where therapists from the practice shared how shame can quietly impact our relationships, self-worth, and ability to experience meaningful connection.
The segment focused on one of the most common challenges people bring into therapy: the belief that they have to earn love, confidence, or acceptance before they are worthy of connection. During the interview, Worth It therapists discussed how recognizing and addressing shame can help individuals and couples create healthier relationships, improve intimacy, and experience greater emotional well-being.
“We want people to know that they aren’t broken,” said the team at Worth It Counseling + Consulting. “Many of the struggles people face in relationships come from learned patterns rooted in shame—not from a lack of worth. Healing begins when we recognize those patterns and start approaching ourselves with compassion.”
The appearance also highlighted Worth It’s newest resource, Summer Bodies, Intimacy + Insecurity: How to Stop Waiting for Confidence and Start Moving Toward Connection.
Created by licensed therapists, the workbook is designed for anyone who has ever postponed experiences because they didn’t feel confident enough in their body. Through guided exercises, reflection prompts, and practical therapeutic tools, readers learn how body image influences intimacy, relationships, confidence, and everyday life—and how to begin moving toward connection instead of waiting for the “perfect” version of themselves.
Many people find themselves saying things like:
- “I’ll wear the swimsuit next summer.”
- “I’ll enjoy vacation once I lose the weight.”
- “I’ll feel confident enough for intimacy when my body changes.”
The workbook challenges these common beliefs and helps readers build a healthier relationship with both themselves and the people they love.
The release of Summer Bodies, Intimacy + Insecurity reflects Worth It Counseling + Consulting’s mission to make high-quality mental health resources accessible beyond the therapy office. Whether someone is currently in counseling or simply looking for practical guidance, the workbook offers therapist-informed strategies to reduce shame, strengthen self-worth, and foster deeper connection.
