Do you ever feel that you lack self-confidence or that your self-esteem could do with a boost? Solution focused hypnotherapy will help you develop your inner confidence, which can open up whole new worlds for you. We’ll take a closer look at hypnotherapy for confidence.
How Lack Of Confidence Holds People Back
A lack of confidence stops us doing things. Think back to those times at school, when you knew the right answer but weren’t quite sure enough to put your hand up, and the bolder kid got the gold star. As we grow up, low self-confidence stops us asking that person out for a drink or hitting send on the application form.
And as well not having the confidence to act, we simply don’t feel so good about ourselves. Low self-esteem makes you feel more anxious, less attractive, more reluctant to act. Friends reassuring us that we’re beautiful and clever means nothing, because we don’t believe it ourselves.
The good news is that hypnotherapy can give you the self-confidence to believe your friends when they tell you how great you are. Let’s stop looking at lacking confidence, and instead see what a confidence boost can add.
The Benefits Of Feeling Confident
You don’t suddenly need to morph into one of these “Super Confident Successful Leader” types that feature in lifestyle articles. Improving your inner confidence and self-belief is about having the mental tools to respond to new and challenging situations: don’t confuse inner confidence with showmanship.
This personal confidence brings so many benefits. Genuinely confident people aren’t afraid to be wrong or to ask for advice. They’ll try new things, which can lead to exciting developments in all aspects of their lives. If you have that self-belief that lets you take on challenges without a freezing fear of failure, you’re going to have more opportunities.
Why Everyone Needs A Confidence Boost Sometimes
Everyone has a comfort zone (yes, even Super Confident Successful Leaders), and the idea of moving outside it can feel really daunting. This could be because you have a job interview, a first date or you’ve been asked to take on a different task at work. You might be test-driving a new car, catering for fussy relatives or even getting married.
I often speak with people whose day-to-day self-esteem seems generally good; however, they’ve been asked to deliver a presentation or attend a conference, and these new circumstances create feelings of anxiety.
So if you’re worried that a confidence dip is a kind of personal flaw, please be reassured that it really isn’t. We all need that boost sometimes, and solution-focused hypnotherapy is a great way to improve your confidence from within.
How Hypnotherapy Boosts Self-Confidence And Self-Esteem
There are plenty of ways to mask a lack of confidence (delivery, dressing, rehearsing); however, what hypnotherapy does is go deeper than this to equip you with the skills to meet challenges. You can then draw on these, whatever the circumstances.
The main goal of our Great Minds Clinic hypnotherapy sessions will be to create long-term changes in your life that improve your positive thinking, self-esteem and confidence.
I work with each client to create an individual programme. I use a range of emotional freedom techniques, along with neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) and of course, hypnotherapy. There’s also a coaching element as we address specific life factors.
Confidence-boosting techniques are related to anxiety management. Being more confident actually reduces that negative self-talk and thought processes that lead to anxiety and feelings of stress. Genuinely confident people are able to ignore their inner self-critic, which is absolutely key in managing anxiety.
What about specific types of low self-esteem, like body confidence? I’ve helped a lot of people in this area, including with weight management.
Hypnotherapy for relationships also addresses confidence issues. An unhappy relationship, a difficult patch or a break-up can have a tremendous effect on our self-esteem. Again, this is something we can look at together, building up your inner confidence to better manage these situations.
