Boost Self-Esteem with Hypnosis

“Nobody can make you feel inferior without your consent.”

Eleanor Roosevelt

Self-esteem is described as a feeling of having confidence and satisfaction with yourself. Low self-esteem, then, is lacking confidence in yourself and feeling dissatisfied with who you are as a person. It’s an all-encompassing, pervasive sense of not being good enough.

Perhaps you don’t feel good enough as a mother, as a woman, or as a partner. In relationships, low self-esteem manifests as a fear of losing the love, affection, or admiration of the people in your life. You have friends, you have people who care for you, but underlying those relationships, you believe you’re undeserving.

Or, you may not feel smart enough at work, competent enough in your professional skills, or deserving of respect from superiors, colleagues or subordinates in the workplace. Despite your achievements, your demonstrated ability to succeed at tasks or day-to-day challenges, and despite being rewarded with responsibility, raises or a promotion, you still have a feeling of being a fraud.

You feel inadequate.

And this feeling of inadequacy persists despite all evidence to the contrary. You’re educated. You’ve set goals and achieved them. You demonstrate care for the ones you love and give of yourself to your family. You believe in and respect the inherent worth and dignity of the people in your life.

So why is it that you don’t believe in the inherent worth and dignity of the most important person in your life—you?

The Origins of Low Self-Esteem

If it’s true what Eleanor Roosevelt said, that “no one can make you feel inferior without your consent”—and we believe it is!—then, somewhere along the way, you learned to consent to feel inadequate and inferior.

Many people with low self-esteem learned to view others needs’ as more important than their own, and learned to value others more than they value themselves. Perhaps it was during your childhood when you were taught to feel inferior. Perhaps it was in an intimate relationship. Wherever, whenever, however it happened, you lost confidence in yourself and internalized a belief that you’re just not good enough.

Do you have low self-esteem?

Do any of the following statements sound familiar?

•   There’s always a voice inside my head that’s telling me I’m stupid.
•   If something went wrong at work, I usually think it’s my fault.
•   I feel uncomfortable when people want to do things for me.
•   It doesn’t surprise me that I didn’t get a promotion. I probably didn’t work hard enough.
•   I would be happier if I were more attractive.
•   I would be more successful if I were smarter.
•   I don’t really think about my dreams or goals; I wouldn’t be able to achieve them.
•   I don’t like to ask for help.

Whether you’ve tried counseling or talk therapy before or not, consider hypnotherapy as a tool to help you build confidence and pride in yourself.

You do deserve respect. You are inherently worthy as a person. You can learn to love and regard yourself more positively.

Hypnosis can help.

How Hypnosis Helps Improve Self-Esteem

Hypnotherapy works to improve self-esteem because it speaks to the subconscious part of your mind where the damaging thoughts and belief systems at the root of your self-image are stored.  

Together, hypnotherapy and coaching uncover the source, or sources, of your negative thought patterns and beliefs in order to influence positive, lasting change.

Some examples of the root causes of low self-esteem might be:

1. Distorted perspectives on situations or circumstances
2. Past events or memories from childhood when you were neglected or negated
3. Internalized messages you received
4. Negative self-image and distorted views of yourself
5. Lack of forgiveness and acceptance of yourself or others

Your subconscious mind doesn’t know what’s real or not. As far as it’s concerned, the painful memories or negative self-images that are stored there are real, present and true.

It’s in the subconscious mind that you’re giving consent to feel inferior, unlovable, undeserving and inadequate. By speaking to the subconscious in hypnosis, your hypnotherapist can help you refuse to give that consent.

After guiding you into a deeply relaxed state, your hypnotherapist can talk with your subconscious mind to uncover the source of your low self-esteem. Using hypnosis, we can distract your mind from negative stimuli (such as memories or self-defeating thought-patterns) and, with motivational suggestion, we can refocus its attention on more productive thoughts and understanding. Your hypnotherapist can also help your subconscious mind to see issues from a different perspective and change negative core beliefs.
