Confidence Building
(Click to See Brainwave Entrainment)

I have developed a Tool which records the client's feelings at the start of therapy, the higher the score the greater negativity and time spent in that modality. This enables me to measure the effectiveness of my therapeutic programme in a dynamic and powerful way throughout the process. This is hard evidence that my programme of healing and change really works in a short time frame of 6 weeks. All it takes is full participation in the programme.

The following table is an extract of data from clients with initial issues of stress, anxiety, depression, various addictions including weight issues, IBS, relationship and bereavement issues, as well as work related, lack of confidence and self-esteem, and academic related issues, who completed my 6 week therapy programme between February 2008 and June 2009. The table shows significant improvements in 8 key areas.

The small improvement in 'Thinking about the future' is infact a mixed result, in that many clients report that their thoughts about their future after the 6 week therapy programme is brighter and more positive; whereas the score at the start of therapy was from a negative view point.


Many people do not have confidence in themselves in certain situations. This lack of confidence in one situation can quickly develop into a general lack of confidence in other areas of life, leading to a reduction in self-esteem.

Confidence starts in childhood. If we develop confidence as a child, encouraged, supported, guided and involved, we can bring that ‘confidence’ with us into adulthood. If you were not a confident child then it is likely you will not be a confident adult. YOU CAN CHANGE THIS.

Confidence is about two things, your belief system and your knowledge or skill to perform a given task.

The key to confidence is your belief system. If you can feel good about yourself, love yourself, feel valued and respect yourself, then you will have confidence to take risks and take on challenges to gain new knowledge and skills. Trying to gain new knowledge and skills when you do not feel good about yourself, when you do not love yourself, when you do not value or respect yourself, is almost impossible, because your behaviour is controlled by your belief system, and your belief system will stop you from trying.  

At Mind For Life we have a unique programme that has helped many people who were not confident and had low self-esteem. The corner-stone of the programme is the Dynamic Thought Transfer Technique TM and our methods of teaching. We do not have any magic formulas or special powers, we do not tell people how to live their lives … what we do is guide, teach, support, and encourage; if the client fully participates in the programme then they will develop love, value and respect for themselves.  Every person who has fully participated in the programme has changed their behaviour creating new opportunities in their lives … without exception.
