‘Con­fidence’, as defined within Con­fidence Hypnosis, is not just a positive feeling in the body; it is also a state of mind, an approach to life, which tends to lead to self-​​acceptance and success.  It encom­passes focus, effort and com­mitment as well as the ability to both accept and learn from mistakes made along the way.

Nobody comes into the world lacking in con­fidence.  Such self-​​perceptions develop over time, largely as a result of life exper­iences; what happened in the past, inter­pretation of those events and the nature of the emotions around the stored memories of those events.

Whatever the causes, the symptoms of low self-​​confidence can be severe.  At a physical level, the state of high alert that results from not feeling con­fident in a given situation, typ­ically stim­ulates the internal fight or flight response, releasing det­ri­mental stress hormones, creating breath­lessness, tension, red­dening of the face, shaking, sweating and so on.  Low self-​​confidence also affects a person at a cog­nitive level, encouraging negative, self-​​defeating thinking; at an emo­tional level, often leaving people feeling depressed, weak, unworthy; and, at a beha­vioural level, con­straining choices and oppor­tunities, ulti­mately influ­encing work, rela­tionships, success and overall enjoyment of life.

But much of this suf­fering is unne­cessary.  Hyp­no­therapy in the form of con­fidence hypnosis treatment pro­grammes rep­resents a holistic, dynamic approach to helping indi­viduals uncover, release and develop their true con­fidence potential.

No matter how lacking in con­fidence a person may feel, everyone has exper­ienced feeling con­fident at certain times in their life; so it’s not that people feel com­pletely lacking in con­fidence all of the time.  With this in mind, it’s vital to identify and address each person’s unique exper­iences of low self-​​confidence.  The initial con­sultation of the Con­fidence Hypnosis Pro­gramme iden­tifies and explores the causes, symptoms and triggers of low self-​​confidence as they exist from the client’s per­spective.  The physical, emo­tional, cog­nitive and beha­vioural rami­fic­ations of that self-​​perception are also explored in depth.

Con­fidence hypnosis treatment pro­grammes typ­ically employ deep relaxation hypnosis to coun­teract the damaging physical side effects of stress created by low-​​self-​​confidence.  Through anchoring the physical and psy­cho­logical sen­sations of deep relaxation, people are taught how to re-​​create those feelings whenever desirable or necessary.

Direct positive sug­gestion and post hypnotic sug­gestions tend to be used to adapt the cog­nitive responses to feelings of low self-​​confidence, and to instil alternative, more effective ways of dealing with specific stressors /​ situ­ations as they arise, so extending the con­fidence comfort zone whilst also chal­lenging self-​​defeating thoughts and beliefs.

Past exper­iences that are inter­fering with the present are more often than not re-​​evaluated through con­fidence hypnosis.  Memories from the past that are inter­fering with the present are re-​​visited and re-​​framed, the emo­tional and cog­nitive influence on the present and future de-​​sensitised.

Con­fidence hypnosis treatment pro­grammes also tend to apply tech­niques such as mental rehearsal, creative imagery, future pacing and pseudo-​​orientation in time to further develop con­fidence in the present, and both establish and cement under­standing of future success and acceptance of self.

Whatever the causes, the symptoms of low self-​​confidence can be severe, con­straining choices and oppor­tunities, ulti­mately influ­encing work, rela­tionships, success and overall enjoyment of life.  Con­fidence hypnosis rep­resents a holistic, dynamic approach to helping indi­viduals uncover, release and develop their true con­fidence potential.
