Hypnosis & Self-Esteem
Self-esteem is an area that can affect so many different areas of an individual life. From sports professionals to teenagers, to weight and body appearance issues that I work with as a hypnotist, we all have times when we lack confidence and do not feel good about ourselves. But when low self-esteem becomes a long-term problem, it can have a harmful effect on our mental health and our day-to-day lives.
Self-esteem is the opinion we have of ourselves.
Self-esteem is an individual’s subjective evaluation of their own worth. Synonyms or near-synonyms of self-esteem include self-worth, self-regard, self-respect, and self-integrity.
When we have healthy self-esteem, we tend to feel positive about ourselves and about life in general. It makes us better able to deal with life’s ups and downs. When our self-esteem is low, we tend to see ourselves and our life in a more negative and critical light. We also feel less able to take on the challenges that life throws at us.
I have seen these effects perhaps most frequently in the teenagers of today, whether that is due to the impact of social media, or differing parenting skills and upbringings; I have seen at firsthand how that sense of self-worth can change everything.
Some of the signs of low self-esteem can be
Sensitivity to criticism
Social withdrawal
Hostility
Excessive preoccupation with personal problems and the perception of others towards themselves
Physical symptoms such as fatigue, insomnia and headaches
Low self-esteem is a self-fulling prophecy.
Hypnosis can help!
With Hypnosis we focus on:
Identifying negative talk
Connections with loving people
Learning to be assertive
Setting a challenge
Focusing on positive attributes
Hypnosis is entirely collaborative and begins with a conversation to establish your goals. Only once we have decided on the correct course, will the hypnosis begin.
It will identify those areas and aspects affected most and will improve coping abilities, address past potential causes, and find renewed hope and positivity.
My “Hypnosis for Reclaiming Your Self-Esteem” program will enable you to re-focus and tap into your natural confidence – a confidence that you were actually born with!
Whether our sessions are face-to-face in person or online, hypnosis can help you. Reach out to my office today.
