Low self-esteem is a prevalent issue that can significantly impact your self-perception and hinder your ability to achieve success. Your inner critic, residing in your  subconscious mind, often feeds you negative thoughts that undermine your self-worth.

Despite these thoughts being unfounded and irrational, they can deeply affect your quality of our life. Rooted in your past experiences such as childhood trauma, bullying, or neglect, low self-esteem can be a challenging hurdle to overcome.

Hypnotherapy emerges as a potent tool to address the underlying causes of your  low self-esteem and bolster self-confidence. By eliminating your negative thought patterns and reshaping your  inner dialogue, hypnotherapy empowers you to take control of your inner critic and foster a mindset that is conducive to your growth and achievement.

How Psychotherapy & Hypnotherapy Treat Self Esteem

Low self-esteem can often stem from the weight of your unrealistic expectations placed on us by authority figures or society itself. Whether it's demanding parents, strict coaches, critical teachers, or tough bosses, these influences can shape your perception of self-worth.

In a society that often ties your values to achievements, it's easy to see why you might struggle with self-esteem. Even seemingly harmless comments or media portrayals of perfection can chip away at your confidence.

However, hypnotherapy offers a sustainable solution to combat these insecurities. By rewiring your thoughts and coping mechanisms, hypnotherapy can instill a positive mindset and help you break free from negative self-perceptions. Through hypnotherapy, you can cultivate a stronger sense of self and unlock your true potential. Contact Mary to start your mental health journey.
