Self-esteem

Hypnotherapy and Self-Esteem

Self-esteem is the way we describe our opinion of ourselves, how we think, the type of person we are, our abilities and what we expect for the future. When our self-esteem is high, we generally feel good about ourselves and have a positive outlook on life but it’s low, our thoughts and feelings about ourselves are usually negative, we focus on our weaknesses and are critical of what we do and the mistakes we’ve make.

Self-esteem can affect our entire outlook on life and in the long-term can affect our mental health. Issues with self-esteem can stem from childhood and continue into adulthood, can develop thorough unrealistic media messages or be triggered by traumatic life events such as abuse or serious illness. Low self-esteem can affect people in different ways but there here are some common signs to look out for. These include:

·      Feeling hopeless or depressed

·      Having no motivation

·      Feeling constantly anxious or fearful of making a mistakes

·      A lack of assertiveness

·      Feeling overly sensitive to criticism

·      Thinking there’s nothing to look forward to

·      Feeling tired a lot of the time

·      Thinking negatively about yourself

·      Feeling like a failure

·      Wishing your life was better.

To overcome low self-esteem we need to identify and challenge the negative beliefs you have about yourself and understand how you learned them and why

Hypnotherapy can help with low self-esteem by identifying and challenging patterns of negative thinking. It also encourages positive changes through the power of suggestion, visualisations and other techniques to help to promote positive thoughts, attitudes and beliefs that support a healthy self-esteem.
