What Are The Signs Of Healthy Self-Esteem

 



Healthy self-esteem is essential for personal growth and well-being. In my practice as a Hypnotherapist, I often help individuals enhance their self-worth.

Recognising the signs of healthy self-esteem can empower you to cultivate a more positive self-image. 

Here are some key indicators:


• Self-Acceptance: Acknowledging both strengths and weaknesses without harsh self-judgment.

• Setting Boundaries: Understanding personal needs and asserting them effectively.

• Resilience: Bouncing back from setbacks and viewing failures as opportunities for growth.

• Positive Outlook: Maintaining an optimistic perspective and focusing on solutions rather than problems.

• Effective Communication: Comfortably expressing thoughts and emotions, fostering open and honest dialogue in relationships.

• Mutual Respect: Valuing oneself and others, creating supportive and healthy connections.

• Intrinsic Motivation: Pursuing goals and interests aligned with personal values, rather than seeking external validation.


By cultivating these traits, you can nurture a deeper sense of self-worth and fulfilment in your life. Embracing healthy self-esteem is vital to achieving your personal goals and enhancing your overall quality of life.

How Can Hypnoanalysis (Analytical Hypnotherapy) Help?


Hypnoanalysis combines both psychotherapy and hypnotherapy and helps to work through the unhelpful childhood experiences you may have faced that lead to overthinking as a trait and as a result, coping with life changes and day-to-day challenges easier.

The therapy works under the principle of cause and effect. For every effect there has to be a cause; a reason why someone suffers in the way they do.

Rather than managing symptoms, the aim is to remove the psychological root cause of symptoms.

By enabling past events to be re-examined and the associated emotion released, patterns of behaviour which are no longer appropriate, the symptoms, cease.

Getting a Better Nights Sleep - The 3 Week Challenge: Principle One

Image
It all began a month or so before lockdown when I noticed how many sleep aids there were in the chemist.  That same week I had four people contact me for help with sleep problems.  This made me ask myself: “What does psychological research and Hypnotherapy tell us about getting a good nights sleep?” A positive psychological approach focuses on what makes people healthy rather than unhealthy. Instead of looking at the behaviour of someone who is struggling to get a good nights sleep, we should focus on the person who frequently sleeps well. How is the behaviour different? Can we copy it? I began teaching people to use these psychological techniques alongside Hypnosis to nudge their sleep pattern. I was pleased to see the differences that could be made…but more people are needed to really see how effective it could be. Fancy a challenge? You need to apply the principles for the next three weeks and review the changes to your to sleep.  Each principle usually takes on

Hypnosis Explained

Image
    If you are hoping to read that Hypnosis is a magical, mystical, controlling power that can make people behave in ways they choose not to, then you are certainly going to be disappointed. Any assumption that a person is asleep or unconscious is also not the case.  So have you ever experienced Hypnosis? Think back over the last 24 hours…. When you woke up this morning, do you remember that half-awake half-asleep feeling? On that commute to work, perhaps you drifted into auto-pilot and as you were driving along? Perhaps your mind drifted to the things you had to do.  You could be forgiven for thinking that you were daydreaming. Tonight, just as you drift off to sleep you are very likely to experience that same half-awake half-asleep feeling. Every one of those experiences could be given the name Hypnosis. Hypnosis is a natural state we all experience many times throughout the day. It is as much part of our lives as breathing. The idea of being under the control of another or being un

Imposter Syndrome: Do you sometimes feeling like a fraud?

Image
  One behaviour people experience from one time or another is being an imposter; the feeling that they might get ‘caught’ out for not being as good at what they do as people assume they are. Imposter syndrome is where an individual doubts their accomplishments and abilities and these are converted into a fear of being exposed as a fraud. Interestingly, this still happens when there is plenty of evidence to the contrary.  What do you attribute your successes to? Unjustified feelings of being an imposter are an attribution bias. It is a tendency to attribute successes to luck or poor judgment on the part of others’. In a self-deprecating way, the assumption is that they are ‘just getting by’ and if others saw the real them then they would less than impressed. When we feel this kind of imposter syndrome, we failing to have any internal acknowledgment of our own achievements, something which is characteristic of those suffering from anxiety, and unsurprisingly, low self-esteem.
