CBT HYPNOTHERAPY FOR LOW CONFIDENCE
Our self-esteem is all about how we value and view ourselves. It's based on our opinions and beliefs about ourselves, which can sometimes feel really difficult to change.
Sometimes in life, unexpected circumstances can make us doubt ourselves, putting our self-confidence at risk. Low self-esteem can develop, but therapy to learn to assert yourself and re-discover your self-esteem can be valuable.
WHY SELF-ESTEEM IS IMPORTANT
Confident people have a good sense of self, they are natural and authentic. They know themselves well and remain in good emotional balance. As a result, they are happier and more fulfilled.
People with good self-esteem are able to express their feelings and intuitions in words. They are open and honest and are more authentic and engaged in life. This might come easily to some, but for others, it is not innate and we must learn it - and we can learn it.
It is often thought that self-confidence comes from how we communicate with others. In reality, it is not what we say, but what we think that needs to change. The continual self-criticism in our own minds is what undermines our trust. By learning not to listen to these thoughts, or even to change what your inner voice says, you can gain self-confidence.
It can feel like a great relief to be more assured and authentic, and to care much less about the opinions of others.

"I grew up thinking that everything was always my fault. I couldn't help it. It was a real problem because at the age of 24 I had never gone out with anyone or had a girlfriend. I could not talk to them. Thanks to Deborah, I have made a lot of progress. And I have gone out twice with a girl. I feel much happier and more confident." - Georges V
