Recently, one of my clients had experienced a very scary situation. Even though she had been gone through this problem before, this time her self-confidence dropped like a rock. What had happened is that her boss had begun bullying her at work.

The repeated comments, gestures and demeaning behavior had a very negative toll. She found herself having great difficulty getting up, getting ready and leaving. At work, she was a basket case. Her behavior had almost reached the level of a post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Concomitantly, her self-esteem had withered to the level of an un-watered flower in our very hot desert.

While she was off work, her old boss was changed. But, now she found she could not drive up the street to the office building, could not enter the work environment and shrunk from talking to fellow employees. What to do?

Remember exposure therapy -- where we force ourselves to experience the very scary situation by going near it? Well to restore her self-confidence, she first had to drive on the street where the office was. And for her, that was a very difficult task.

Next, she had to expand the distance she drove on that particular street. Then, she had to drive in and around the office. Then, she had to stop & walk out of her car (done at night to make it easier). Then, she had to quickly enter and leave her office (done in the early morning to avoid contact with others). Finally, after a few weeks, self-confidence much more strongly developed, she was again able to enter and deal with returning to work.

Exposure is a wonderful and, if done with baby steps, can lead to an extensive improvements in self-confidence and self-esteem.
