Confidence and self-esteemHow hypnotherapy can help? There are two aspects of our self-concept (the way we see ourselves). Our confidence is connected to both of them. One of these aspects is our self-image. This is the descriptive part of self-concept, which concerns the way we are – tall or short, old or young, good at languages, enjoying self-hypnosis and so on. The other aspect is self-esteem. This is the evaluative part which judges if we are good or bad, interesting or boring, good looking or ugly, worthwhile or not. Our self-esteem is very much connected to the way other people see us. It is not necessary the way people see us, but the way we think people see us. When somebody has low self-esteem, he is very sensitive to the way other people may see and judge him. How hypnotherapy can help?During hypnotherapy your self-image will become positive; you will see yourself differently, in better light, you will become aware of your positive aspects, like skills, gifts, even looks. This change can be significant. There are also many ways to lift the self-esteem. Sometimes it could be just one event from our life when our self-esteem was damaged. In this case the hypnoanalytical techniques can be very beneficial. Sometimes we have low self-esteem because we have been criticized very often by the important people in our lives during childhood, like parents and teachers. During hypnotherapy this damaging influence will be neutralized. How many sessions will you need?The therapy will take on average from 5 to 6 sessions, when both self-image and self-esteem are affected. Sometimes, but rarely, the client has a problem only with his self-image and his self-esteem is high. In this case even one session will be beneficial, and no more than 2 or 3 sessions will be needed.
