Ask Dr. Suni


What advice do you have for someone who has low self esteem, low self worth and low self confidence?

Dear Monica,
Issues of low self esteem and self worth usually respond to inner child therapy. These feelings could stem from blockages in the 10-year old subconscious mind. That 10-year old is usually holding guilt and shame for things she couldn’t help or couldn’t avoid or couldn’t know. In order to release the blockages, forgiveness of the child is necessary. Through this act of self-forgiveness, real healing begins.
 
As an adult that inner child still needs support and nurture. She still needs to know she is loved and protected. When the inner child receives the love and nurturing she always needs, she then finds self-love, self worth and self confidence.
 
Some of the ways inner child therapy can be accomplished are through guided meditation, visualization, and hypnotherapy. I include inner child therapy in all the hypnotherapy sessions that I do. I suggest you check out some of these methods.

Wishing you love, light and harmony.
