Using psychological techniques to make someone feel bad about themselves involves identifying negative beliefs or self-talk, as well as thinking processes such as negative filter bias or catastrophizing. It’s important to provide positive reinforcement and praise in order to reframe the person’s negative beliefs and remind them of their true potential. Setting achievable goals with small successes also helps create self-confidence that will reduce feelings of hopelessness and worthlessness.  Additionally, helping an individual develop better problem-solving skills so that every problem does not seem insurmountable is essential in feeling good about oneself.
