Self-esteem is about our own sense of self-worth. It is how we value ourselves and how important we feel we are. Self-confidence is about having faith in our abilities. Low self-confidence and self-esteem can have a negative impact in many areas of a person’s daily life.

Children who are suffering from low self-esteem withdraw into themselves and become over-critical to whatever they have to do. They exhibit a pessimistic view of the world around them which in turn restricts them from trying new things. They avoid social situations and prefer to be on their own, living in their own world. This habit eventually results in hindering personal development and the ability to enjoy life to the full.

Self-esteem and confidence in oneself arises from an individual’s perception of themselves. This perception is governed by the sub-conscious mind and it influences our level of confidence at a practical level. When we feel we are lacking in self-esteem, this is reflected in our instinctive response, brought on by our sub-conscious programming.

This is where hypnotherapy comes to play – by reprogramming the individual’s subconscious mind and what it believes in. Hypnotherapy modifies the inborn responses to unfamiliar situations. There are a number of clinics that offer NLP therapy for children in Cheshire that use a combination of psychotherapy, hypnotherapy, NLP and coaching to address underlying causes for the improvement of your child’s self-esteem.

Children as young as 5 years to kids in their late teens are effectively treated for low self-esteem through hypnotherapy by a child NLP therapist in Cheshire. According to all Cheshire NLP therapists for children, kids respond so well to hypnotherapy because they have good and sometimes wild imaginations. The hypnotherapist, by using certain NLP techniques, can utilize this ability through story-telling and the use of metaphors to stimulate the child’s imagination and subconscious mind into believing their self-worth and thereby increasing their self-esteem.

Children age 6 and above can become candidates for Hypnotherapy, depending on the individual. By law, in the first session, all children below the age of 17 are to be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. All NLP therapists for children in Cheshire aim to provide an environment where children have the privacy to speak their minds in confidence. Nonetheless, all sessions are done with the child’s parent/guardian’s consent and are closely monitored.

NLP therapists for children can also help to access the power of the subconscious mind and make it work in blocking negative thoughts, limiting beliefs and shift behaviors in order to give way to positive and increased self-esteem and confidence.

During hypnotherapy, these NLP therapists for children will work on the child’s subconscious mind to be re-programmed with positive suggestions and visualizations which will enable the child to believe and behave in a positive manner. Hypnotherapy can help to make the changes to be made, and help the individual reach his or her full potential.

NLP therapists for children use certain NLP visualization techniques that are often used during hypnotherapy session and are later repeated whilst in a state of full consciousness to further strengthen their effect.

Having an increased sense of self-esteem is about having a positive belief that you are better and more capable than you think you are. Hypnotherapy facilitates the development of this belief, facilitated by a hypnotherapist who can alter the way the subconscious mind thinks – and thereby making it to believe in one’s self worth.
