Self Esteem
“A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” Lao-Tzu
​
Self-esteem is basically how you see yourself—your personal view of your worth. It's like the relationship you have with yourself. Think of it like a selfie, but instead of focusing on how you look, it's about how you *feel* about yourself.
Good Self-Esteem
When you have good self-esteem, it’s like walking around with a good friend in your head who’s always got your back. You believe in yourself, trust your decisions, and feel pretty comfortable in your skin. You’re not perfect, but you know you’re doing your best, and that’s enough! You’re not afraid to speak up, take risks, and show up as your true self.
Poor Self-Esteem
On the flip side, poor self-esteem can feel like having a constant critic inside your head who just won't quit. This inner critic makes you doubt yourself, second-guess your choices, and often feel like you're not good enough. It's like carrying around a backpack full of self-doubt that weighs you down wherever you go. You may avoid trying new things or let others walk all over you.
How Hypnosis Can Help
Now, let’s talk about hypnosis—it’s like giving your mind a reboot. Hypnosis can help clear out all those negative thoughts and replace them with positive ones. If your mind is a messy closet, hypnosis is like bringing in a professional organizer! It helps you focus on the good stuff, teaching your brain to calm down, be kind to itself, and build that “good friend” voice inside.
Self-Hypnosis for Self-Esteem
With self-hypnosis, you’re basically putting yourself in the driver’s seat. It’s a way to gently guide your mind toward better, more positive thoughts—like a mini brain spa. By taking a few minutes to relax and focus on positive affirmations, you can train your mind to see yourself in a brighter, more confident light. It’s simple, and you can do it anytime you need a little boost. You’ll be amazed at how quickly it can turn your inner critic into a cheerleader!
So, self-esteem is all about how you treat yourself. With the right tools—like hypnosis—you can switch out those old, unhelpful beliefs and start building a healthier, happier relationship with yourself. It’s not magic, but it can sure feel like it!
My new book, From Doormat to Diva, will show you how to boost your self-esteem using Hypnosis and EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) right from the comfort of your own home. No need to visit a clinic—you’ll learn simple, effective tools to feel more confident and empowered, all on your own schedule!

My New Book
Available NOW on Amazon
Every day, countless individuals find themselves trapped in lives they never envisioned for themselves—stuck in cycles of dysfunction, burdened by the weight of others' opinions, and paralysed by the fear of rejection. They feel isolated, unsure of their worth, and plagued by the haunting whispers of self-doubt. For some, these feelings stem from the toxic environments they were raised in, while others find themselves targeted by bullies, whether at work, at home, or online. The pain is real, and the scars run deep.
But what if I told you there is a way out? What if you could break free from the chains of insecurity, fear, and self-doubt? What if you could learn to stand tall, no longer a victim of the harsh words and cruel actions of others, but a person who knows their worth and refuses to be a doormat?
This book is my hope, my dream, and my gift to those who feel lost and unseen. I wrote it for those who feel like life is spinning out of control and for those who can't seem to break the cycle of dysfunction that has plagued their families for generations. I wrote it for those who wake up every day, dreading the thought of facing yet another round of bullying, whether at work, in their personal lives, or on social media.
Resilience and self-esteem are not just buzzwords; they are the armour you need to navigate this world. With a healthy sense of self-worth, the words and actions of others lose their power to hurt you. With resilience, you can bounce back from life's challenges with strength and grace, no longer afraid to take up space and live the life you deserve.
In the pages ahead, you will learn how to stop belittling yourself, how to silence that inner critic, and how to build a foundation of self-esteem that will carry you through life's storms. You will discover the emotional benefits of a strong self-esteem, such as increased happiness, reduced anxiety, and the ability to weather life's challenges with resilience. You will also learn about the social benefits—how improving your self-worth can lead to better relationships, deeper social interactions, and a more fulfilling life.
This book is your guide to reclaiming your power, embracing your true self, and stepping out of the shadows and into the spotlight of your own life. No matter where you are on your journey, remember that you are worthy, you are enough, and you deserve to live a life free from the chains of fear, shame, and guilt.

When someone has low self-esteem, they experience a range of emotional and physical pain that can deeply impact their overall well-being.
​
Emotional Pain:
1. Self-Doubt and Insecurity: Constantly questioning their worth, abilities, and decisions, leading to feelings of inadequacy and uncertainty.
2. Shame and Guilt: A pervasive sense of shame about who they are, often accompanied by guilt for not meeting their own or others' expectations.
3. Anxiety and Fear: Persistent worry about how they are perceived by others, leading to social anxiety and fear of rejection or failure.
4. Depression: Feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and a lack of motivation, often stemming from a belief that they are not good enough or deserving of happiness.
5. Loneliness and Isolation: Feeling disconnected from others, believing they don't deserve love or companionship, which can lead to withdrawal from social situations.
6. Negative Self-Talk: A constant internal dialogue filled with criticism and self-blame, reinforcing negative beliefs about oneself.
Physical Pain:
1. Tension and Stress: Chronic stress can manifest as physical symptoms, such as headaches, muscle tension, and digestive issues.
2. Fatigue: Low self-esteem can drain emotional energy, leading to chronic fatigue and a lack of physical energy.
3. Sleep Disturbances: Difficulty falling or staying asleep due to overthinking or anxiety, leading to insomnia or restless sleep.
4. Changes in Appetite: Overeating or undereating as a coping mechanism, leading to weight fluctuations and related health issues.
5. Weakened Immune System: Chronic stress and emotional pain can weaken the immune system, making the person more susceptible to illnesses.
6. Body Aches and Pains: Unexplained aches and pains, often related to stress and tension, such as back pain, neck pain, or headaches.
Low self-esteem can create a vicious cycle, where emotional pain exacerbates physical symptoms and vice versa, leading to a profound impact on a person's quality of life.
