Do you often find yourself putting the needs of others at your own expense? Do you struggle with negative self-talk and low self-esteem? Hypnosis for self-love may help you get rid of these habits and start a more loving relationship with yourself.

Hypnosis: A Brief Background

During the late 18th century, a German physician named Franz Mesmer used an innovative technique on his patients. Later on, James Braid coined the terms hypnosis and hypnotism after the Greek god of sleep, Hypnos.

While we see people using pendulums in movies, hypnosis is actually a gentle but powerful tool you can use to access the subconscious mind that houses your feelings, experiences, and beliefs.

Hypnosis is actually a state of consciousness wherein you’re relaxed but focused. You’re more open to suggestions when you’re in a hypnotic state. This is when your hypnotherapist can uncover the root source of your concerns and give powerful suggestions to help you change.

As such, hypnosis has been found effective for both physical and psychological issues such as anxiety, depression, IBS, insomnia, OCD, and even weight loss.

 

Hypnosis for Self-Love

Here are the ways hypnosis can help you love yourself more:

  • Increase Self-Esteem

Often, our negative views of ourselves come from things we’ve experienced during our childhood. You may have been teased for your skin color, weight, or hair, and that has caused you emotional trauma. 

With the help of hypnosis, you can replace negative self-talk with positive ones that promote self-acceptance and self-love.

A 2012 study details how hypnosis can be used to build healthy self-esteem. Some techniques used were “yes sets” (statements to build agreement), metaphors, and posthypnotic suggestions.      

  • Release Limiting Beliefs

Similarly, many false and erroneous beliefs you cling to have stemmed from childhood. experiences.

Unfortunately, these beliefs that have been implanted in your subconscious mind tend to be self-fulfilling if you believe them. For example, if your parents have often told you, “You’ll always be a failure,” you probably have carried this belief til adulthood.

Hypnosis can help you identify and overcome those limiting beliefs that have prevented you from completely embracing and loving yourself.

  • Develop Self-Compassion for Self -Love

We can sometimes be harshly self-critical when we make mistakes. Through hypnosis, you’ll learn to accept your imperfections and be kinder to yourself.

  • Increase Self-Confidence through Hypnosis for Self-Love

Sometimes, changes in the way you look or feel can affect your self-confidence. When this happens, hypnosis helps you visualize the person you want to be and nudges you to slowly embrace that identity. It can also help you appreciate the way you are and learn to accept yourself.

For instance, in a 2020 study involving cancer patients, participants reported decreased emotional distress, higher self-esteem, better emotional control, and higher levels of mindfulness when they practiced a mix of self-care and hypnosis.

  • Create a Positive Self-Image for Self-Love

By breaking down negative habits with hypnosis, you’ll soon picture yourself as a self-assured, competent, and caring person.
