About
Confidence
The
establishment of self-confidence must follow the disposition of past
negative programming - eliminating from self-perception any labels such
as bad, wrong,
stupid, clumsy, inept, untalented, ignorant, etc.
Hypnosis can become the source of self-discovery - revealing
unrecognized capabilities that lead to an acceptance of valid
self-worth.
The
procedures for developing self-confidence may vary considerably
depending on the depths and origin of the problem. In milder
cases, working out problems of self-esteem may be followed by
programming which utilizes visualization, creating in the mind pictures
of success, confidence, and appropriate abilities. Enhancing
suggestions given in hypnotherapy can be absorbed and accepted, leading
to attitude modification and positive demonstrations of newly acquired
self-assurance.
In
more complex cases where depression is a factor, the hypnotherapist may
elect to use the technique of parts therapy or the removal of fears to
free up behavior and reduce negative internal judgments so that positive
self-feelings and confidence can develop in a natural way.
Longer
term results can be significant. Mood and energy levels increase,
compulsive and psychosomatic symptoms fade, emotions become understood,
clients move toward self-direction and greater interpersonal
development Self-derogation is reduced and positive feelings about
life's possibilities develop.
