'Therapeutic care
& Personal Development - The solution to your problems is in

 Confidence
and Self esteem
There
are a
couple of ways of thinking about confidence and self esteem issues.
This depends on the therapy model you prefer to use.
1.
Traditional psychodynamic approach: The confidence and self esteem is
effected by various neurosis that are causing the person to be
incomplete and negatively effected, thus resulting in poor self
confidence and poor self esteem.
2.
Humanistic
approach: The person needs to work on achieving various things in life,
filling a variety of needs and balances, thus enabling them to grow and
become all they can be.
In
reality
these are just two ways of looking at the same problem. Certain events
and learning experiences have caused the client to either fail to
achieve self confidence, or have actually knocked their confidence.
This then leaves the client with a need for two main things.
1.
Resolve
any issues, events, traumas, abuse, pain, grief etc that knocked them
back or are holding them back now.
2.
Find
opportunities to expand, grow in confidence and improve self esteem.
The
first
part is often best resolved with those types of therapy such as
counselling and psychotherapy methods that address past events,
patterns and the perceptual part of development and learning.
The
second
part is a process, often driven by Behavioural work, that seeks to
provide positive learning opportunities and experiences. This may be
partly simulated in advance using visualisation, hypnotherapy, NLP and
other forms of positive affirmation and therapy. Combined such
preparation work, and actual experiences provide positive momentum and
improvement. The preparation work that hypnotherapy and NLP can provide
are essential in those cases where the client is not ready to try
things straight away.
Confidence
coaching and therapy
The
process
therefore tends to be:
1.
Reduce
stress level and prepare the client with positive affirmation work or
visualisation using hypnotherapy or similar methods (such as self
hypnosis, NLP, autogenics).
2.
Begin
addressing underlying causes, looking for understanding, patterns and
through understanding the ability to reconcile, gain closure and undo
any negative learning.
3.
Define new
opportunities and goals using Life coaching.
4.
Boost
where appropriate with affirmation, visualisation, hypnotherapy, NLP
etc as appropriate.
5.
Implement
new behaviours
6.
Monitor
and adapt new behaviours for maximum effect using CBT self assessment
methods.
7.
Give the
client time to settle, hit any snags, report back and sort out those
snags, usually by having monthly or bi-monthly progress sessions in
order to "round off" the whole program. These are often "put off" for a
bit if all is going fine.
Self esteem
consultancy and training
Stuart has written
practitioner
training
courses in anger management coaching, stress management coaching, life
coaching (ASET Level 4 award) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (ASET
Level 5 Award). Confidence issues are an integral part of most therapy
processes and of all therapy practitioner training packages.
It is important to
ensure
that the practitioner is experienced since self confidence and low self
esteem can become quite serious over time, and may result in self harm,
eating disorders, self medication, depression or other negative
behaviours.
