Hypnosis is not about making people do things. It is about empowerment, in other words learning to imagine yourself the way you want to be. If you can imagine self confidence in your life, then you can achieve it. The hypnotherapist does not programme self confidence into you. He or she helps you to do it for yourself.
Hypnosis is not a strange and mystical state any more than daydreaming is. If you replace the word hypnosis with the word imagination you will start to get the idea.
Self confidence is something that we are all born with, but somehow we lose some of it along the way. Positive thinking becomes negative thinking and we forget how to be confident. Hypnosis is an ideal way to rediscover the ability to become more self-confident.
- Learning to relax naturally and to approach difficult situations in a calmer manner. If you can start to approach day to day situations by taking a deep breath and saying something very positive to yourself, almost as an automatic reflex, then doubts will start to evaporate and self confidence will grow.
- Developing a positive attitude and working on positive thinking exercises.
- Dealing with the reasons for lack of confidence and working on techniques for building self-esteem and self confidence. Helping you to become more assertive.
- Developing goals and outcomes for the future so that soon you will be expecting to become more confident and looking forward to a more positive approach to life.
- Learning to expect confidence and to believe in your ability to become more self confident and enjoy life more.
Imagine yourself as you are now and turn that into some kind of an internal image or sensation. How do you think of yourself? Turn that into something more positive and notice the changes. All self confidence work begins with the idea of change. Do you believe in change as a concept? Do you believe you can change and become more confident?
