Low self esteem is generally the result of past negative programming usually by judgmental parents. Often this issue is not met head on until one is in one’s teens or later. You may be extremely critical of yourself; you may be afraid to try anything new; you may make excuses for any success by saying,” I was just lucky,” or “Somebody made a mistake” or “Anybody could do that.” These type of thoughts do not happen by accident and reflect a condition that is rooted in the past, most likely attributable to judgmental parents. This type of judgement is reflected in statements that what you do is “good or bad” or “right or wrong.” For instance in school if you made B’s and one C but you didn’t get any A’s, then your grades are bad. Or you’re on a baseball team and you didn’t get any hits when at bat, you were a lousy player. Or you are doing work for a parent and you miss one minor detail of that work, then you are incompetent. In other cases, a parent might describe you as sloppy, clumsy, dumb, mean, and so on.
You may consciously forget these labels but they are deeply buried in your subconscious, contributing to the way you see yourself, affecting to some degree the way you perceive yourself. There is a critical inner voice that produces a fear to try anything new, a fear to change, or even a fear to perform your daily activities. You simply cannot accept yourself.
Hypnosis is highly effective with changing the way you think, and, therefore changing the way you feel. The following are the ways in which hypnosis can help with low self esteem: Getting rid of past negative programming, improving how you project yourself in the world, increasing confidence and self-acceptance, changing your perspective on your relationship to a given problem.
This is a relatively simple and effective way to increase self esteem. If you have any questions or think I can help, please email or call me at 361-442-9590.
