Traumatic experiences can start strong emotions and physical reactions that can persist long after the event. Trauma may have developed through witnessing and/or experiencing violence, physical neglect, emotional abuse, physical or sexual abuse. Re-living or re-experiencing unwanted memories flashbacks or nightmares can cause insomnia, anxiety, anger and a feeling of detachment and dissociation and hugely affect an individual’s emotional and physical well being.

There are several types of hypnotic and psychological techniques to help you deal with these past disturbing memories, allowing you to live a fuller more satisfying life. Hypnotherapy can be used to help face and bear a traumatic experience by embedding it in a new context, acknowledging it and release you from the trauma.

A lack of confidence and low self-esteem can give an unbalanced view of how that person sees themselves and their abilities. It affects their decision-making skills and how one lives their lives, including relationships, work and studies.

Whilst closely linked, confidence is the belief a person has in themselves and their abilities and ideas. Someone with low self-esteem may feel negatively about themselves and not see themselves worthy of love, being successful or living a happy life.

Without interventions it may lead to negatively affecting both your mental and physical well being. Hypnotherapy can help by accessing your unconscious mind, or inner voice, and help you to take control of how you are feeling about yourself. We do this by discovering what may have caused you to develop low confidence and self-esteem and helping you to improve on it.
