How to overcome low self confidence

The one thing we'd like to say right from the start, is don't worry, you CAN overcome low self confidence when you know how.

What we've found over the years, is that there are a few simple techniques that you can use to overcome low self confidence.

Sometimes, people who have low self confidence can often feel quite out of control and negative about things, because it can sometimes feel like they're stuck with it, and there's nothing that can be done about it (which of course there is!).

So the first thing to understand if you're looking to get over your low self confidence, is that that there IS something that can be done, and even that in itself can help you feel a bit more in control right from the start.

So, as we say, don't worry... we've found over the years, that there are a few simple techniques that you can use to overcome low self confidence... you CAN overcome low self confidence when you know how... it just might be that you need someone to show you how!

Hi Paul
I just wanted to say THANK YOU so much...

It has been a pleasure, and an honour to have met such an honest, genuine, and caring man, one who successfully devotes his life to making others better...

You are one of the best blokes that I have ever met, and I'm so happy my experience with you will be with me for the rest of my life...

It has been without doubt the most interesting, and challenging thing I've ever done.

Thank you again for everything... !

The causes of low self confidence / low self esteem.

A lack of self confidence and self esteem can have a variety of causes, but by far the most common, we have found, is a social anxiety (social phobia).

Dear Paul,

I want to say a BIG thank you!

I have finally found the confidence to be myself, and not care what anyone else thinks of me.

I still find it hard to believe that there was so much crap bottled up inside of me...but there was, and it really has gone. I can think about all the stuff that came out without any emotion whatsoever...and it feels fantastic...I feel in control of my emotions.

Without realising it, I have become more confident at work...it was only after a couple of meetings where I challenged a couple of decisions, that I sat back and thought..Wow!...I would not have dared do that 3 months ago; I used to sit there at meetings too afraid to say anything in case I made a tit of myself, and now I find myself diving in without thinking about it...and I might add...I have been right in doing so!

I wish I had known about hypoanalysis years ago...I would have saved loads of money by not going to 'councellors'. The approach you took was fantastic...and I have already recommended you to some of my friends and family.

Thank you very much for all your support and for just being there when I needed someone to talk to.


Kind regards,

Carole

Hi Paul

I just wanted to thank you for the last couple of months ~ it has made so much difference to how I see myself and others and their negative talk and actions ~ its been like a total wake up.

When I came to you I had been so low and couldn't face the world ~ I found it tricky to even get out of bed in the morning ~ I would rather have just hidden from the world and myself and wanted to sleep so I didn't have to face anything. I knew I didn't want to feel the way I did and went along to my GP to ask about hypnotherapy as it had helped my daughter deal with her phobia and panic attacks.  My doctor refused to talk about alternative therapy and told me the only way was to take anti depressant medication for at least 2 years or until I was in a relationship where a guy could give me self esteem and confidence to feel good about me ~ both of which I didn't want to do or thought was a right thing to do.

Along the way you have helped me to unlock and find the route of where my feelings, thoughts and the way I per-sieve the world have all come from and I have now released the guilt and negative feelings I have about me and now kinda think i'm ok... the more I am aware of my thoughts the more I can change the way I think and hopefully help others too.

I was awake by 6am this morning, got up and made a drink and put some washing on and now sending you this email ~ lots of positives already, so early in the morning :0)

Once again thank you for helping me to help myself ~ its made a big difference to me

Thank you
Lorraine :0)

Suggestion Therapy and Self Confidence

Another way that many people like to boost their self confidence, is using 'suggestion therapy'.

Suggestion therapy is a nice, relaxing form of therapy that can really help with feeling more confident and outgoing. Suggestion therapy can either be done as a one-to-one session (see our find-a-therapist service to find a hypnotherapist in your area), or via our hypnosis download, Boost Your Self Confidence with Hypnosis.
