What is Self-Esteem and Self-Confidence?

Self-esteem is an evaluation of one’s own worth, a judgement of the self and incorporates feelings as well as beliefs.

It’s how we feel about ourselves overall.

It is often influenced and can be distorted by a perception of how other people view you.

Confidence is used to refer to abilities, and can change depending on the situation.

Symptoms of Low Self-Esteem

Clients who have low self-esteem tend to judge and criticize themselves very harshly, and compare themselves to others and also their ‘ideal’ self.

They have a tendency to be self-conscious, downplay their positive attributes, skills and achievements, worry that they may get ‘found out’, feel like a fraud or suffer with ‘imposter syndrome’.

Those with low self-esteem describe themselves negatively, are self-blaming, and can have poor boundaries, finding it difficult to say ‘no’, and are people pleasers.

They may be a perfectionist, and feel guilty for not pleasing everyone enough.

These tendencies may lead to addictions, depression, anxiety, self-harm, destructive patterns of behaviour and emotional outbursts, sabotaging, eating disorders, relationship problems, stress, weight gain, among others.

SIGNS OF HEALTHY SELF-ESTEEM

In contrast, those with healthy self-esteem encourage themselves more with positive self-talk, are more comfortable with accepting compliments for their positive attributes, skills and achievements and know their own worth.

They tend to speak up, and feel comfortable stating their opinions, and are more decisive.

Also, they are more inclined to defend their own values and principles, trust their own wisdom and judgment, focus on the present and the future, value themselves as being an interesting and worthy friend, colleague, etc.

They are more resilient and see problems as challenges, set healthy and appropriate boundaries and don’t need so much reassurance from others.

Factors Shaping Your Self-Esteem

Our self-esteem develops as we mature, and our life experiences shape who we become.

People who are significant in our lives (parents, relatives, teachers and others who have authority in particular) have a major influence on how our self-esteem develops.

How you were treated as a young child may also have had an impact.

Click here for examples
  • Were you listened to?
  • Were you spoken to respectfully?
  • Was your same sex parent/role model spoken to respectfully?
  • Did you receive appropriate attention and affection?
  • Were your achievements recognized in a healthy way?
  • How were mistakes handled?
  • What were the consequences for your misbehaviour?
  • Were they appropriate?

There may also be genetic factors in the development of self-esteem; however, we believe the ‘nurture’ influences far outweigh the ‘nature’ influences.

Whether your low self-esteem is due to nature or nurture, we can assist you in building healthy self-esteem!

Ultimately people want to be accepted, loved and respected by others and most importantly, themselves.

Easily and effectively!

Through hypnotherapeutic counselling, we take a comprehensive history and identify key areas that need to be resolved in hypnosis for you to be happier and have healthy self-esteem and confidence.

These encompass old beliefs that no longer serve you, as well as thought patterns, feelings and self-talk.

We take you into hypnosis and use various therapies and techniques to:

  • Unlock and resolve low self-esteem and confidence;
  • Build/reinforce coping strategies, positivity, optimism, self-acceptance, self-love and self-respect; and
  • Seal the deal with with motivation, energy and vitality.

ASK YOURSELF:

  • What does low self-esteem cost you?
  • Does it hold you back from advancing in your career?
  • Can you put a monetary value on that?
  • Do others take advantage because you can’t say ‘no’?
  • Does this leave you frustrated and angry?
  • Do you feel guilty when you make an excuse not to do something?
  • Do you invest time and energy in avoiding certain situations, or concealing your low self-esteem?
  • Does it inhibit you in your everyday relationships?
  • Do you neglect yourself, family and/or friends because of it?
  • What is the cost and impact on your:
    – Health?
    – Physical appearance?
    – Sense of self-worth
    – Wellbeing?
    – Ability to perform at work/home?
    – Relationships?

Does the benefit of investing in several Sessions with us at North Shore & City Hypnotherapy Sydney, to be free of your low self-esteem and self-confidence, outweigh the ongoing costs of maintaining it – staying stuck where you are?

Testimonials on Hypnosis / Hypnotherapy for Confidence & Self-Esteem

  • “Dear Samantha, I came to you feeling like a lost cause. I had close to no self esteem or self worth which resulted in anxiety. I was very fearful of the judgement of others and felt very unworthy of love. Due to a past relationship I had a strong fear of intimacy and felt uncomfortable even with the thought of getting close to any male. It was a big step for me to come to you, but my only regret is that I didn’t do it earlier! After my counselling and hypnotherapy sessions I feel like a new person, I can no longer connect with my previous emotions of feeling insignificant and inadequate. I am now living life fully with high self esteem and dignity. I do not feel intimidated by other women or fearful of their judgement, I now find myself complimenting and admiring their individuality as well as my own. Since my sessions my fear of intimacy has disappeared completely and I realize how much control I have over my life again. I now believe I am capable of anything which is coming a long way from the frightened shy person I once was. Samantha, you have a very kind and caring nature which must be highly commended, and I was able to feel completely comfortable and extreme trust in you which allowed me to work through my issues in a safe environment and achieve the results I have. You are so supportive, understanding and easy to talk to. There is no comparable service available that allows results to be seen and regain happiness so quickly and with so much heart. I have recommended you to others because you were able to help me regain my life back and now feel like I am back on track and living the life I am supposed to be without fear. Words will never be able to express how thankful I am, you have changed my life and I will forever be grateful.”
    L. H. (Lindfield, Sydney)
  • “Dear Samantha,

    The extent of appreciation that I have for all that you have done for me, I can’t fully put down in writing. You have changed my perspective in life and now I go through life with confidence and ease.

    I was referred to you by a friend of mine who also had a few issues with confidence in her new job.

    At that stage I was having difficulties with confidence and self esteem and thought I would ask for your help.

    From our first meeting I walked out of your room and felt lighter (like baggage had been taken off me).

    That is only the start of our consultations and every time I see you my confidence, energy and other problems I encounter disappear, you have helped me move forward in my life with happiness.

    You are a true inspiration and I thank you for all of your hard work and will never forget what you have done for me.

    I sincerely wish you all the treasures and best in life.

    I also have and continue to highly recommend you to people I know.”
    S. C. (Eastern Suburbs, Sydney)
  • “Dear Samantha,

    Thank you again for your marvellous work in helping me to untangle my mind.

    It’s been a fascinating exercise & a successful one.

    I am over the moon and much more confident about life.”
    K. S. (McMahons Point, Sydney)
  • “Hi Samantha,

    In the first presentation two days after the hypnotherapy session, I had a good kind of tension and found that I didn’t have a fear to make a mistake.
    I talked comfortably.
    Of course I made mistakes in English but I was calm so I didn’t blank out.

    Second presentation was about difficult contents that required detailed explanations about complex physiological mechanisms, and there were more questions at Q&A.

    Again, I could keep myself calm throughout the presentation even though I didn’t know the answers for a half of questions. I had very good feedback from lecturers and the audience for both presentations.

    The feedback made me happy the most was the sentence “you were confident”.
    I could have the words for both presentations.

    The biggest change is that I felt comfortable to being myself in front of audience. It is obvious that the fear we talked about in the consultation before hypnosis was gone.

    Thank you so much for the therapy and useful advices.
    I learnt a lot from your session.”
    K. K. (Pyrmont, Sydney)
  • “Hi Samantha,

    I was confused and in a situation that I needed to get some clarity on and assistance with understanding why I was in the position I was.

    I had about four sessions with you and found the experience really useful, especially the hypnotherapy.

    I have been able to be more self assured, and focused on working through areas of concern.

    My relationships are much healthier and I am more confident and relaxed in myself.

    I found you to be a great listener, understanding and an excellent neutral party to open up to.

    Thanks”
