Training - Self reflection and confidence in Sandton

Your experience and adventures as well as your goals are my top priority

Reflection leads us to a more self-determined life

Many people feel torn in their everyday life – they are under pressure to meet all requirements at the same time, overwhelmed by so many obligations and by their choices between the endless possibilities. Over time, this creates a feeling of completely losing control. Some feel like they are being controlled from outside – almost like a puppet.

Do you know the longing to take control again? Then you are right here. I will support you to reflect on your situation and gain more self-confidence – towards a self-determined life.

More self-confidence with more self-reflection

But how do we manage to actively shape our lives again?

First, it is important to understand what we are experiencing in the moment – self-reflection helps us take a step back, observe ourselves and recognize what we are experiencing in the moment and what is troubling us. It can be helpful to take a close look at what we trigger in ourselves with our way of life and how we affect others.

Based on this, we can consider what our everyday life could look like and what changes we are striving for in our lives. A healthy self-confidence is very important here – so that we can better understand our needs and motivations – but our experiences and important insights that we have gained in our lives can also help us.

In order to initiate a change process, we need self-confidence – in our goals, in our path and in our ability to achieve them. Trusting ourselves does not mean that we suddenly stop doubting and can achieve anything, but that we feel confidence in ourselves that our path is important and that we can rely on ourselves when things get difficult.

Self-reflection is important to develop this trust in ourselves. It helps if we know ourselves well – with all our facets – our strengths, weaknesses, likes, dislikes, talents as well as our psychological and physical characteristics.

As a therapist, I will accompany you on this path of self-reflection – you have come to the right place if you have the following goals for your personal life:

Are you searching for your wishes and true needs and want to understand what drives you?
Are you willing to question your own actions and reactions and are you looking for a new way of dealing with your fellow human beings?
Would you like to learn how to deal with crises and conflicts and grow with them?
Would you like to develop a new attitude towards mistakes and learn from them?
Would you like to take the first step, develop yourself personally and promote your mental health?

Together we will take a look at you and your life – we will also illuminate unpleasant areas, but we will also understand what is already going very well in your life. I take the time and tranquillity for your process.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)

What is self-reflection?

Self-reflection means reflecting on one’s own person with all its facets. We look at our strengths, weaknesses, likes, dislikes, talents as well as our mental and physical characteristics. Reflection comes from “reflecting” – this is about our self-perception and is similar to looking in the mirror – we think about ourselves, our own behaviour, our motives, but also our own effect on the immediate and indirect environment.

How do I learn to reflect on myself?

In order to reflect on ourselves, we ask questions of ourselves – questions about our strengths, weaknesses, likes, dislikes, talents, and our psychological and physical characteristics. A coach helps you to learn self-reflection as she asks questions and accompanies you in the process. Of course you can also reflect on your own – it can be helpful to write a diary in order to talk to yourself and your own experiences and insights.

What does self-reflection bring me?

The coaching can help you to take a look at yourself and your life. On the one hand, a coach is particularly helpful in illuminating unpleasant areas that one tends not to look at alone. On the other hand, a coach also helps to better understand one’s own strengths and resources and to look at what is already going very well in one’s own life.

How do I boost my self-confidence?

We are all born with a lot of self-confidence – as children we are convinced that we can learn anything, that we can do everything on our own and that we can be successful. But over time we lose this basic trust – when we want to do justice to other people. The more we think about what others might like and what we need to do to get praise and appreciation, the less we trust our inner voice. This inner voice is a reminder of what is important to us, what we can achieve and how valuable we are – and if we learn to listen to this inner voice again, then we can build and strengthen our self-confidence.
