Growing in Self Esteem

SUSIE ROTCH  Psychologist
BA, TSTC, DipCrim, MACE, MAPs

A self-help and guided self-hypnosis course to help rediscover and build on your natural ability to live with confidence in your own style and skills.

The HypnoBooks are a brilliant new development of image-based, self-help courses.

Some assumptions about self esteem

Self esteem (self respect and confidence) arises out of a positive attitude towards yourself and what you are doing. If you feel good about yourself you will be encouraged to try harder, overcome obstacles and undertake a greater range of activities. When you believe that you deserve good things in your life you are more likely to make them happen.

And the miracle of human behaviour is if you are not satisfied with your current level of self-esteem, you can choose to change it for the better. You have the capacity to increase your own self-esteem until you are genuinely self respecting and confident. This program can teach you how to do it.

Growing in Self-esteem is a unique program that has been designed to combine both the healing principles of self-awareness and the power of the unconscious mind. You already have an array of personal resources to give you self-esteem. These include the natural ability to relax, to choose what you say to yourself (think) and an ability to choose what you pay attention to.

Together, book and DVD combine to provide you with a pathway to recognising who you are and improving you self-esteem.

The introduction from Chapter 1 - ( excerpt from Chapter 1 Introduction )

We live in an inner world of our own making. Our level of confidence and self esteem is self generated.

If you come from a family where, right from the beginning, you were treated with respect and encouraged to achieve your goals, despite set-backs, then self-esteem will be built in to your way of operating as a matter of course. This will be true even if you encountered some traumas along the way, such as abuse by others, illness or accident.

Unfortunately only a small percentage of people are lucky enough to come from families that fit them for life in such an abundant and desirable way. The rest of us will have self esteem to varying extents, depending on how functional our families of origin were and how nurturing or abusive the environment we encountered as we grew up.

Fortunately if you are not satisfied with your current level of self esteem this is something that you can choose to change for the better. You have the capacity to increase your own self esteem until you are genuinely self respecting and confident. This program can teach you how to do it.

How this program works

The research, psychological theory and principles upon which the program is based, recognise that you already have an array of personal resources to give you self esteem. These personal resources include the natural ability to relax, to choose what you say to yourself (think) and an ability to choose what you pay attention to.

This program uses a potent set of techniques including some drawn from NeuroLinguistic Programming, guided imagery, cognitive restructuring and the teaching of self-hypnosis to help you to learn to discover and achieve new heights of self esteem and confidence.

Why use a DVD?

Moving images on a screen together with the spoken word are known to be a powerful hypnotic medium. Millions of people for a hundred years now have gone to the movies and willingly suspended their belief in a public yet very private place and let their imaginations soar. You can respond to and weave many messages on many levels through the flow of images and words. And that’s why there is a DVD component to this program.

The images in the DVD / video are of the natural rhythms of trees and water. The guiding, spoken words are mixed with a very slow natural heartbeat that blends with gently evolving tree forms layered with flowing, sparkling waves. We follow the seasonal passage of trees and the gentle tidal flows in a rhythm pattern that reflects the natural intervals of deep, refreshing sleep.

This program will teach you to recognise, extend and actually enjoy applying skills you already have. It will help you to learn new skills and enjoy applying these. With this learning you can have a sense of mastery over your the management of your own life and your self esteem.

As part of this process, the program will teach you how you can reconstruct your habitual ways of operating, to make your life more satisfying.
