WHEN SHYNESS & LOW SELF-ESTEEM TAKE OVER

Matt* is in his mid-30s, but his issues started in childhood. Like many who suffer from both extreme shyness and low self-esteem, he had a very overbearing parent. Matt never heard a word of praise from his mother-just a steady stream of seemingly unending criticism.

The impact that this had on Matt’s self-esteem got compounded in school. Matt was the kid who always got picked last for teams, bullied in the hallways, and laughed at in class. It all just kept building up, laying a foundation of negativity that made Matt feel terrible about himself.

Matt’s problems continued into adulthood. With his low self-esteem, social situations were a struggle, and he was overly shy when it came to dating. He didn’t see his own value as being equal to that of the other adults in the room.

The older Matt got, the more he felt like he was sitting on life’s sidelines. While his friends were getting married and moving ahead with their lives, it seemed like Matt was getting more and more socially awkward and alienated. It was a vicious cycle that never seemed to end.

Luckily, Matt came to see me, and decided to give my unique 5-session hypnosis program a try.

Through hypnosis Matt was able to see that there never had been anything wrong with him. It was all just misperceptions that he had picked up as a child…thoughts that had nothing to do with reality. Hypnosis helped Matt replace these misperceptions with a clear image of who he wanted to be now. The result: Matt was able to improve his social skills, start feeling comfortable in his own skin, and begin living the happy, well-balanced life that he had always wanted. In fact, he recently became engaged to his secret crush from the sixth grade. A true happy ending!
