Quite often to truly feel confident in ourselves, we also need that internal sense of ‘self’ who is aware of our own abilities and talents which also shows a healthy Self-Esteem. So, the two terms really combine to create a balanced outlook of self and how we perceive others and interact with the world.
What sometimes happens in life, is that a person may be very aware of their abilities and talents but still lack the confidence in themselves to believe that they could succeed in life. This may be due to negative self-talk, negative programming, and negative beliefs coming from repetitive failures, or being put down by peers, family, religious or ideological beliefs, and or abusive and manipulative relationships. A person then begins to doubt themselves and holds back from moving forward in life.
When you have greater self-confidence, it allows you to experience freedom from self-doubt and freedom from all those negative thoughts about yourself. Having greater confidence makes you more motivated to take smart risks in life to move outside your comfort zone allowing you to experience more courage and adventure with less anxiety and worry about possible failure.
Confidence is a belief in oneself, the conviction that one can meet life’s challenges and to succeed—and the willingness to act accordingly. Being confident requires a realistic sense of one’s capabilities and feeling secure in that knowledge.
Projecting confidence helps people gain credibility, make a strong first impression, deal with pressure, and tackle personal and professional challenges. It is also an attractive trait, as confidence helps put others at ease.
As well as being able to help improve your overall confidence, hypnosis can help improve your confidence and self-belief around specific areas, such as in work or relationships, or to boost your confidence around a specific goal such as taking a driving test or giving a presentation.
During a Hypnosis session for Confidence, suggestions may be given to help you experience:

Hypnosis can be very effective for improving self-esteem as it works directly with the subconscious, where the negative thoughts about ourselves are located.
There’s hope. You can fix your mind’s negative thinking patterns. In fact, low self-esteem is a lot like a glitch in your mind. You’ve taught yourself, through repetitive thinking over your lifetime, how to feel about yourself and your abilities in certain situations.
But self-esteem is flexible. At different periods in our lives, it can be high, or low. We can learn to improve it or make adjustments. In other words, we aren’t doomed to lives of low self-esteem. It’s very possible to build and increase self-esteem. And it’s possible to overcome these automatic thoughts, reduce and eliminate them from our inner self-talk by using hypnosis.
You can think of ‘hypnosis as meditation with a goal’. For centuries, meditation has been used to help people learn to tame the mind, find inner peace, and quiet automatic thinking. Yet, hypnosis takes this one step further – hypnosis adds a goal.
During a hypnotherapy session, you will guide your body and mind to a state of heightened relaxation and awareness. In this state, the way our brains behave changes. Our minds become completely relaxed, and we’re able to access our subconscious. In fact, we can bypass the critical mind and go straight to that inner voice and speak directly to it.
What’s more, when we’re in a state of hypnosis, our brains become highly receptive to suggestions. And that’s the key to improving your self-confidence and self-esteem.
