Self Esteem

Self esteem is an incredibly important issue. The lack of self confidence can prevent someone from living up to their full potential. While others will shrug this off as shyness, or feel that someone is just quiet or even aloof, only the sufferer knows how soul destroying it can be to feel this way.

Low Self esteem can be seen in many forms:

Social Phobia

This is characterised by the inability to communicate effectively in social sittuations. Its a bit like being stuck in gawky teenager mode Its OK to feel your heart racing and being dry in the mouth when your 15, but if your still doing this at 20, maybe its time to take your emotions seriously. This problem usually becomes more accute when the sufferer needs to stand out in public, for instance when giving a speach.

Blushing / Sweating

This can be a real blight on someones quality of life. Some people may even avoid going out for fear of blushing or sweating.

Feeling of being put on the spot

This may be a fear of being asked the wrong question. Or of feeling unable to cope in a particular sittuation. This fear my be persistant, or only comes to the fore when around certain people (usually authority figures).

Exam or Interview Nerves

This is an extreemly common fear. So much so I have the suspicion that exams do not test someones compitence in any subject, except that of someones confidence at taking exams! It is a real shame to see good, knowledgeable people being held back by their fear of exams, or job interviews. Hypnoanalysis can be very effective in helping you get rid of this fear. Who knows who you could be without this fear holding you back?

Suggestion Therapy or Hypnoanalysis?

Self esteem can be helped with both types of hypnotherapy. It is important to realise that while Suggestion Therapy may give you a short term boost (say if you have a driving test next week!) it will not resolve the underlying cause of the anxiety. In my view hypnoanalysis is the best way of resolving self esteem issues. It is well worth taking a few more weeks and getting Low Self Esteem out of your life for good with hypnoanalysis!
