too much preoccupation with self-esteem
Being new in this site, I haven't been able to read the rest of the text, but it sounds to me like a statement typical of families where susceptibilities run high, and people's self esteem is often eroded, hence the preoccupation

improving self-esteem
or tackling low self-esteem, something along those lines.
my reading seems to be different from those above - I read this, in your context, as being about tackling some sort of problem, bringing about improvements - typically self -esteem is a problem when it is low.
does this make sense in your context?
