How Hypnotherapy Can Help to Build Confidence

Confidence is a word we often hear in a myriad of contexts. We might think of a confident person as someone who has the self-belief to carry out actions others could not. For instance, confidence in the workplace, dating or simply as an outward demeanour.

Interestingly, the origin of the word Confidence comes from the Latin – confidere. It means to have full trust. In other words, trust in oneself is the foundation of self-confidence. But this is easier said than done.

In this article, we’ll examine the psychology of confidence. Then, we’ll look at ways hypnotherapy for confidence can help to build self-belief and become a successful person.

What Is the Psychology of Confidence?

In one psychological study of confidence and anxiety, researchers highlighted a link between action and anxiety. They looked at how fear or anxiety of a specific action increased the likelihood of that action. In contrast, those who had more confidence in their ability were less likely to cause such instances.

Consider two people about to make a bid for the same job role. Both are equally qualified, but there is one difference.

• Candidate A fears they will fail and lack confidence in their ability to get the job.
• However, candidate B is self-assured of their success.

According to the research, candidate B will most likely get the role.

The correlation between anxiety and confidence is an important point. Anxiety is a self-perpetuating state. The more anxious a person becomes, the more likely their anxieties are self-realised.

Take this educational psychology study on the subject: The research showed that a group of more anxious students performed worse than their less anxious peers. The physiological response of anxiety made it difficult to concentrate. This, in turn, hampered their critical thinking. Moreover, their poor performance gave them a negative impression of class. Thus they would become more anxious in anticipation of those classes. In short, it was a never-ending cycle.
