Going through tragedies can really bring your spirit down and shatter your sense of self. If you’ve recently gone through a rough patch and have been feeling a little unsure about yourself lately, please know that it’s normal to feel this way.

You’re not alone.

Hard times take everything you have to just barely survive, and you’ve even made it this far, kudos to you! It takes a lot of strength and courage to pick up your own weight after going through something emotionally distressing and looking into ways to help your healing process.

If you’re here, it may be safe to assume that you’re either looking for help for yourself, or a loved one in trouble. Whoever it is, we wish them our best! Here are three of the best ways to re-build your self confidence after going through something traumatic.

Cultivate Stronger Relationships With People Around You

While we understand that low self-confidence can make you shy away from people and not want to engage in any sort of social activity, human connection is important in order to heal.

To start re-building your self-esteem, reach out to people you’re close and comfortable with and strengthen your connection with them. Once you feel better reconnecting with people overall, focus on other relationships like friendships and slowly start exposing yourself to new people.

Give Up The Habit Of Underestimating Yourself

When we’re in the zone of experiencing low self-esteem, we tend to become highly critical of ourselves, often even underestimating our own abilities and strengths. When going through something like this, remind yourself of the way you’ve dealt with the situation up till now and how you’ve held yourself together.

Most people can’t even do that!

As you start counting your achievements, you’ll realize that you’re more valuable and capable that you’re giving yourself credit for these days.

Look In To New Ways To Help You Heal—Like Hypnotherapy

These tips work! But when things get hard, and you already have a lot on your plate, it’s great to reach out for help. Hypnotherapy is a great way to speed up the process.
