Self-Esteem & Identity Mental Health Recovery in Spain: Private Emotional Retreat at Sea Recovery

Sea Recovery offers one-to-one therapeutic support for adults struggling with low self-esteem, identity confusion, and emotional disconnection — in a quiet, luxury retreat setting in southern Spain.

Private one-to-one recovery for low self-esteem, shame, identity loss, and emotional disconnection — delivered in a luxury, non-clinical retreat near Marbella, Spain.

When You No Longer Know Who You Are

Low self-worth doesn’t always look obvious. Sometimes it hides behind success, perfectionism, people-pleasing, or chronic independence. Sometimes it feels like anxiety, burnout, shame, or emotional collapse. Often, it feels like you’re constantly adapting — but never really at home in yourself.

If you feel disconnected from who you are, what you want, or how to relate to others without performance or self-abandonment, you're not alone. Whether this started in childhood, after trauma, through emotional neglect, or through a painful relationship — Sea Recovery offers a calm, emotionally intelligent space to rebuild who you are from the inside out.

We specialise in private self-esteem and identity recovery in Spain — for adults who want more than just surface-level therapy. This is deep, relational work. And you don’t have to do it alone.

Signs You May Be Struggling With Self-Worth or Identity

• Chronic self-doubt, indecision, or people-pleasing
• Difficulty setting boundaries or asserting needs
• Fear of rejection, abandonment, or not being “enough”
• Internalised shame, guilt, or critical self-talk
• Emotional dependency or identity fusion in relationships
• Feeling numb, lost, or unsure who you are outside of roles

You may appear strong, capable, and put-together — while feeling emotionally disconnected or constantly performing underneath. We understand that kind of pain. And we work with it every day.

Why This Work Matters

Your relationship with yourself forms the foundation for every other part of your life. When that foundation is cracked — by trauma, emotional neglect, abandonment, or never being fully seen — it shows up everywhere: in relationships, decisions, self-talk, and your ability to feel safe or worthy.

At Sea Recovery, we don’t fix you — because you’re not broken. We help you remember who you are, piece by piece, gently and safely.

• One-to-one treatment only — no group therapy, no exposure
• Emotionally attuned, relationally intelligent support
• Located in a peaceful rehabilitation centre in Sotogrande
• Perfect for professionals, creatives, and sensitive individuals
• Completely private, unbranded luxury setting near Marbella

Whether you’ve spent your life adapting, over-functioning, or hiding behind roles — Sea Recovery provides the safety and stillness to find your real self again.

Our Approach to Identity and Self-Esteem Work

Interpersonal Therapy (IPT)

Explores early relationships, emotional wounding, and unconscious beliefs that shaped your sense of worth or self-image.

Internal Family Systems (IFS)

Helps you understand and integrate the different “parts” of you — including the people-pleaser, the inner critic, or the protector — so you can lead with clarity and compassion.

DBT

Supports emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and rebuilding self-worth through mindfulness and safe relational work.

TRE

Supports your body in feeling safe to be seen, assert needs, or tolerate discomfort — without collapsing into shame or over-functioning.

Creative & Expressive Therapy

Journaling, visualisation, or movement — to process identity, self-expression, and emotional release in non-verbal ways.

• Journaling, integration, or silence
• Optional holistic sessions — massage, IV, acupuncture, or creative recovery

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Do I need a formal diagnosis to attend?

No. You don’t need to be diagnosed with anything. If you’re struggling with identity, confidence, or self-worth — you’re welcome here.

Will I be pushed to talk about my past?

No. We move gently and always with consent. If or when you’re ready, we can explore early experiences — but only in a way that feels safe and supportive.

What if I don’t know who I am?

That’s exactly why this work exists. We help you explore, reconnect, and rebuild a grounded sense of self — one that’s not based on who you had to be.

Can I still work or use my phone during treatment?

Yes — within reason. Many clients are high-functioning and need some connection to their responsibilities. We’ll create boundaries that support both recovery and reality.

Do you work with clients who’ve been through narcissistic abuse?

Yes. We support many clients recovering from emotionally manipulative or identity-eroding relationships — both romantic and parental.

What if I’ve never done therapy before?

You don’t need experience. Just a willingness to be supported. We’ll meet you wherever you are, and move at your pace.

Is this suitable for LGBTQ+ clients?

Absolutely. We offer inclusive, affirming care to clients of all genders and identities — including support for identity exploration and relational trauma.

What makes Sea Recovery different?

We focus on emotional depth, nervous system safety, and full privacy. No groups. No labels. Just personalised, relational recovery in a calm, luxury setting.
