Hypnotherapy Self Esteem / Confidence

Low self-esteem is characterised by a lack of confidence and feeling badly about oneself. When our self-esteem is low, we tend to see ourselves in a more negative and critical light. Thinking of ourself as not being as good as others and less able to take on challenges that life throws at us. Often it is the thoughts about how others may judge us which are behind these painful and debilitating feelings.

Lack of confidence often begins in childhood or teenage years, rooted from negative experiences during that period. Our teachers, friends, siblings, parents and even the media, social media imparticulary, send us positive and negative messages about ourselves.

The message that you are not good enough stays with you. Add in stress and difficult life events, or a mistake or two and it can all build up. Having a ‘knock’ or negative effect on our confidence. If these negative experiences are not dealt with they can set a precedent for future achievement. It can be beneficial to pinpoint the initial sensitising event of the confidence problem.

If you have low self-esteem or confidence, you may hide yourself away from social situations, stop trying new things, and avoid things you find challenging. Impacting both home and work life. In the short term, avoiding challenging and difficult situations might make you feel safe.

In the longer term, this can backfire because it reinforces your underlying doubts and fears. It teaches you the unhelpful rule that the only way to cope is by avoiding things.

When low-self esteem becomes a long term problem, it can have a harmful effect on our mental health and day to day lives, which could lead to anxiety and/or depression.
