Insecurity & nervousness


Insecurity & nervousness are for many people difficult problems that often causes some form of social anxiety, fear of failure, avoidance and/or control anxiety. It therefore makes your life, work & relationships very hard & difficult when you are often insecure & nervous. Especially with new or exciting situations & 'important' people, these feelings can become so strong that natural behavior & being yourself in a relaxed manner become almost impossible - and tasks seem much more difficult.

Because the insecurity & nervousness often rears its head especially when it's not convenient for you, it can hinder your actions again & again and more & more. You can become trapped in a negative spiral of trying to suppress & hide your feelings and avoiding the situations in which they might arise, causing you to function less good & making your world smaller. Or you can start to numb and/or over-shout your insecurity and pretend to be much tougher & stronger than you feel.

Struggling with yourself


A painful struggle with yourself can ensue, in which you try to suppress, numb, over-shout or control your insecurity. And that only works partially & temporarily and because fighting & persevering are very tiring, at some point you will tend to avoid 'difficult' people or situations. And although this may give some relief, it solves nothing, because you remain insecure.

If you don't address the real causes of your insecurity & nervousness, you will continue to dread those situations and you will (unconsciously) remain afraid of the next meeting or event and that will only strengthen your insecurity even more. Because in the meantime you (unconsciously) keep believing you can't do it or you keep feeling ashamed of yourself. And you keep (unconsciously) fearing failure or acting strange or weird - and you already see yourself failing, making terrible mistakes, blundering, being laughed at, criticized and/or rejected.

Insecurity & assertiveness


If you don't learn to address the causes of your insecurity & nervousness, you can remain insecure, tense, nervous & jittery all your life and remain afraid of making mistakes, failing or 'losing face' or being 'weak' etc. This can prevent you from doing fun things, undertaking interesting steps & taking on challenges, often with major consequences for your work, relationships & your life, especially if you start isolating yourself, keeping it 'safe', avoiding a lot and settle for functiontiong below your level. You can miss out on a lot because of your insecurity - which in turn undermines your self-confidence & self-esteem.

At the Centrumpraktijk you will be helped to trace the causes of your insecurity & nervousness & you will be given practical tools, with which you can get a grip on your insecure thoughts, feelings & behavior and with which you can tackle your insecurity & nervousness effectively. Because it is necessary to learn to deal with insecurity & nervousness in a good way, so that you won't keep struggling with yourself & your insecurity and won't keep on being limited in your actions.

You will be helped in the trajectory to build your self-confidence and you will learn to increase your assertiveness & stand up for yourself better. Because of which you can finally start to enjoy what you do & dare to undertake more and more things. When your insecurity no longer limits you so much, meeting people & taking on challenges becomes more fun & interesting, opening up the world for you. You start to rediscover yourself & maybe even reinvent yourself (a little).
