French term or phrase: ancrages
Deux sortes de messages, des messages positifs, des messages dynamisants, des messages gratifiants. Mais aussi on fait passer parfois des messages toxiques, des messages qui vont maltraiter, qui vont blesser.
Alors quand on envoie un message positif, et ça tous les managers relationnel devraient le savoir, ça provoque chez l’autre quatre ***ancrages*** qui sont symboliquement derrière vous : ça augmente la « vivance » de ma vie , voyez c’est toute la dimension vibratoire de la vie , ça devient « energetigéne », ça engendre de l’énergie, ça confirme la confiance en moi , ça alimente l’estime de moi , et ça nourrit l’amour pour moi-même.

anchor points
Explanation:
I don't really see the problem with translating more or less literally. They are four points which strengthen the person psychologically, making them feel good about themselves. Four points they can hold on to.

Explanation:
In the absence of knowing the exact theory involved: it could be turned round in English to a useful expression associated with the number "four", as in the "four pillars of wisdom".

"The **Four pillars** of lasting self-confidence. Why the past doesn't have to be ... I have been suffering from low self-confidence and self-esteem all my life. ..."
