People with low self-esteem often run themselves into a state of mental and physical exhaustion trying to create an identity or lifestyle which receives minimal negative judgment and maximum likelihood of praise. Perfectionism, avoidance and a wide variety of social phobias are often driven by these sorts of fears.

Hypnosis induced altered states of consciousness can improve the clarity of positive mental imagery.

The hypnotherapist/hypnotist can guide you to ‘see’ and ‘feel’ yourself being more relaxed in situations which you usually find stressful. 

Sometimes people with low self-esteem can allow too much negative imagery to persist in their thinking. Too much worrying over-stimulates the ‘stress response’ and this creates feelings of anxiety. Hypnotic suggestions are given to let go of the habit of worrying and to use your imagination in a more positive and productive manner.

In clinical hypnosis, hypnotic techniques are used to reduce fears and inhibitions to provide a great sense of relief to those suffering low self-esteem or social phobias.

• If you don’t care when people are noticing you blush, you tend to blush less often. If you don’t care what people think about you, it’s much easier to be confident in a crowd.
• If you’re comfortable about the possibility of mucking up your speech, it’s much easier to relax and connect with the audience.
• If you don’t mind a bit of rejection, it’s a lot easier to relax when you ask that attractive person out for a date.

Client and therapist work together to establish realistic and achievable goals. These goals are built upon, over a period of time, until the final goal is eventually achieved. In this way self-esteem is boosted rather than degraded by setting unrealistic goals.
