Hypnotherapy for Self Criticism & Perfectionism

Image by Ganapathy Kumar

In pursuit of our best self, we can be very hard on ourselves. This form of self motivation can lead to a deep sense of dissatisfaction, even emptiness. Perfectionists often disregard or minimise their achievements and amplify their mistakes.

Many of us have that berating inner voice or drill sergeant that speaks to us in a way we would never consider speaking to another. Sometimes we just don’t know how to be our own cheerleader, or wrongly believe that we will not be successful if we do not “drive” ourselves hard.

Sometimes we expect to be perfect, not making allowances for mistakes, which is such a human characteristic. The inner critic can be difficult to silence, but hypnotherapy can show you how.
