The Impact of Low Self-Esteem on One'sLife

Low self-esteem or a complete absence of this trait has roots deeply into one's childhood or previous experiences. Namely, childhood traumas, lack of parental care, abuse or negligence, all may be responsible for one's self-esteem issues later in life.

Moreover, problems in school, peer pressure and bullying are also related to this. Children with low self-esteem find it hard to make new relationships and enter any group of people due to their fear of looking bad or incompetent. Thus, these people grow up to be solitary persons, leading a rather secluded life, which again leaves permanent marks on their behavioral patterns and personalities since humans are social beings and cannot functions adequately otherwise.

There are many different things one can do, once troubled by a lack of self-esteem, having a negative impact on his/her life. Usually, these people are unable to help themselves, or to seek help from friends or people they know. Therefore, they need professional help through various means of psychotherapy and behavioral treatment.

Possible Ways of Boosting One'sSelf-Esteem

A success of a therapy depends on the person. Some people manage to gain self-esteem through group therapy or psychiatric counseling. On the other hand, some people need medications in order to be capable of believing in themselves more and managing to live their life with more self-appreciation.

Hypnotherapy is another method of behavior altering. By setting people with low self-esteem into a state of subconsciousness, the hypnotist, being the therapist in this case, inserts subliminal messages and information into the subconscious brain of the patient, boosting his/her self-esteem and getting rid of all the doubts and complexes which stand in the way of setting this individual's personality free. Usually, these messages are suggested through specific music. Later on, the patient is to play the same music at home, triggering the onset of the previously stored suggestions, boosting his/her self-confidence anew.

Sometimes, exposure to triggers of lack of self-esteem in a person, can help treating this problem better. Flashes of images are used to trigger emotions, and these emotions are then dissolved, analyzed and taught to be resisted through a self-esteem boost.

Hypnosis may work for some people, being useless for others. However, it should not be neglected since it presents a valuable means of treatment for all people who have certain self-esteem problems. Large number of successful treatments is the best proof of its efficiency.
