​When you don't feel or believe that you can have what you want, it can be quite painful. It's awful to desire change and watch others attain it, and not believe that you can have it yourself. You may ask yourself, " what's wrong with me? Why can't I just be more confident, feel more confident and get what I want? " Can this be changed? Is there any hope?
 
As a certified hypnotist in the Philadelphia and King of Prussia areas, I know that so many of us struggle with a confidence.
 
What is confidence? Confidence is our natural belief and ourselves and our capabilities. When confidence is low, it can be felt across several aspects of life, or just in certain areas.
 
So why do some people have more confidence than others?

One thing is for sure. We are all born with natural confidence in ourselves and our abilities. In fact, you would not learn the very basic things that define human behavior if you didn't naturally believe in your ability to do such things. For example, learning to walk is an achievement full of failures and coming short, and yet it is something that most of us achieve because we know that we can, and we keep trying until it is done.
 
I believe that most of us would arrive in adulthood with perfect confidence if it was not challenged or attacked. Unfortunately for most of us, our belief in our own strengths and capabilities will be challenged and attacked.
 
Outside of genetics, I think there are four main factors that contribute to our relationship with our own personal confidence. These are:

• Love
• Praise
• Criticism
• Experience

​If you were raised by loving people and a loving home, you are more likely to be confident. If you were praised frequently and cheered on and encouraged a lot, you are more likely to be confident. 
 
On the flip side, if you received a lot of harsh criticism, your confidence very well could have been eroded away over time. Even if you were raised in a loving and well-adjusted family at home, the criticism that you could have met at the level of your education, your religion if you had one, your government, your social peers and society at large could have done a lot to chip away or outright tear down your confidence in yourself.
 
Your confidence is also affected by your personal life experiences. Of course, traumatic life experiences can absolutely shake and damage your sense of self-confidence. On the other side of the spectrum, the more experience you have in overcoming challenge and overcoming fearful situations, the more your confidence will naturally grow. This is why, generally, people tend to become more confident as they get older, though there are certainly many exceptions depending on time of life, environment, etc. 
 
I know I would never want to be 20 again! I personally feel so much more confident now, almost 2 decades into the future! 

​Can this be changed? Can we become more confident as adults?
 
YES!
 
4 Steps to Grow Your Confidence Naturally

1. Practice unconditional self-love. Love is even more powerful than confidence. If you struggle with confidence but realize that you came from a home and a background where you were not loved, or if you realize that the concept of loving yourself no matter what makes you feel uncomfortable, that is a huge sign that you may need to first learn to love and accept yourself fully. This work is so important, and worth it.
2. Become aware of the harsh, overly critical thoughts that circle throughout your head everyday. Harsh criticism is the number one thief of our confidence. It is like a corrosive element that eats away at our natural ability to get what we desire. Challenge it and replace it with praise.
3. Praise yourself more. Replace the harsh, critical voice with a praising, encouraging voice.
4. Do things that scare you more and then praise yourself. Experience can increase confidence. The more you face what scares you and overcome challenges, the more confident you we'll feel about your abilities. 

 

The Role of Hypnosis in Boosting Confidence

Hypnosis is a therapeutic technique that taps into the power of the subconscious mind. During a hypnotherapy session, you will be guided into a deeply relaxed state, where the subconscious becomes more receptive to positive suggestions and insights. This state allows individuals to access and reprogram deep-seated beliefs and thought patterns that may be hindering your confidence.
Here's how hypnosis can help boost confidence in individuals in Philadelphia and King of Prussia:

1. Identifying and Addressing Negative Beliefs: Hypnotherapy can help clients uncover and confront negative beliefs or past traumas that have contributed to their lack of confidence. By bringing these issues to light, individuals can begin to work through and heal from them.
2. Replacing Negative Self-Talk: Many people engage in negative self-talk, constantly telling themselves they're not good enough. Hypnosis can replace these destructive thought patterns with positive affirmations and self-encouragement, promoting a more optimistic self-image.
3. Visualizing Success: Hypnotherapy often includes visualization exercises where clients imagine themselves succeeding in various aspects of their lives. This not only boosts confidence but also enhances the belief that achieving their goals is possible.
4. Building Resilience: Hypnosis can help individuals develop emotional resilience, allowing them to bounce back from setbacks and failures with greater ease. This resilience is a key component of confidence.
5. Stress and Anxiety Reduction: Many confidence issues are intertwined with stress and anxiety. Hypnosis can help individuals manage these emotions, leading to a calmer and more confident demeanor.
