Our confidence level is a key foundational component in how we approach life and the many challenges thrown at us. So it is not unsurprising that when we feel confident we feel able to handle most things. Even when things do not look favourable, we are able to handle it with a positive attitude and approach. Positive attitude re-enforces the positive outcome and we feel it both physically and psychologically.
However there are times when we experience a series of disappointments and find that events are not favourable to us. Our confidence and self-esteem get affected and if they are not sufficiently robust, our view of events becomes increasingly negative even plunging us into an ever decreasing spiral of negativity, eventually, leading for some to depression and psychosis.
In hypnotherapy, the first treatment given is to strengthen the confidence through the process of ‘Ego Strengthening’. Rebuilding the Ego will re-establish your confidence in your ability to take charge and control over your life. This in turn re-establishes your positive attitude that you can overcome the problem afflicting you and make the desired change. As your sense of self-belief in your abilities rises, it positively influences you in how you think, feel and react.
