Lack of Confidence - Low Self Esteem
If you suffer from a lack of confidence or low self-esteem, hypnotherapy can be a very efficient tool to help you. All confidence and self-esteem issues arise because of thoughts and feelings you have about yourself - in your own eyes and in the eyes of others. These thoughts or beliefs often stem from childhood when you accepted ideas that seemed true at the time, but do not have to be true in reality. However, because of the computer-like way your mind processes information, you may find yourself thinking and feeling today in the same way you have done since childhood. Hypnosis can set you free from this pattern of behaviour by undoing the programming that has taken root within your mind. Underneath your layers of doubt and insecurity is the real you - one who can feel happy, relaxed and in control in all situations and in any company. Hypnosis can help you to peel back the layers so that your natural confidence and self-esteem begins to flourish. When this happens you will find that things you used to find difficult, will begin to seem easy and achievable. In fact in most cases, although it may seem inconceivable to you right now, you may even begin to forget you ever had a problem in the first place. All confidence and self-esteem issues involve fear at some level and once your inner fears are resolved you will feel happier, lighter and free to get on with your life.
Performace Anxiety - Fear of Public Speaking
Do you feel nervous or panicky when the spotlight is on you? Do you feel intimidated when people are looking at you and you have to speak or perform in some way? Do you feel stuck for words, unable to think clearly and frustrated or angry at yourself afterwards? If so, hypnotherapy can help you and really make a difference. All these symptoms and others like them are created because your mind is sending a fear signal to your body. Why your mind does this is usually because of an unpleasant experience from the past, and somewhere inside you remember how it felt before and expect it to feel the same way again - so you feel afraid and you act accordingly. This may be obvious when you remember how it all started - but very often the cause can be much more subtle or apparently non-existent. Either way, hypnotherapy can help you get over this by accessing the part of your mind that is triggering the fear and helping you change how it responds.
