Self-Confidence
It’s incredible how some people seem to have it so easy. They effortlessly start conversations with strangers, casually approach people they find attractive at clubs, are confident in public speaking, assertively handle job interviews — self-confidence radiates from them in every situation. It seems like such an attitude inevitably leads to success.
But self-confidence is not a false sense of omnipotence. It also involves awareness of one’s own flaws and a willingness to work on overcoming them. It fundamentally cannot exist if a person does not cultivate self-love, self-care, and self-tolerance.
Self-confidence is built through two parallel processes — becoming aware of your own virtues and acquiring new qualities, and that is exactly what we will work on together. We will help you remember your values and qualities, learn to love them and express them proudly. This will make the path to success easier, whether in your career, making new acquaintances, or in family life.
Questions & Answers
How can psychotherapy help with developing self-confidence?
One useful approach is narrative therapy, which explores the dominant narratives clients hold about themselves — stories like "I am incapable," "I am worthless," "I am unlucky," "I can never do anything right," or "I always fail when I am close to the goal." These deeply rooted stories prevent us from using even the qualities we do have, and discourage us from trying to reach our goals. In psychotherapy, we work to challenge these narratives, uncover the client's strengths that have been buried and forgotten, and teach them new skills that will bring success and serve as a foundation for building further self-confidence.
