Hypnosis for Self-Esteem: How it Works

Have you ever noticed how some thoughts can loop in your head… over and over?

The little voice that whispers you’re not enough or unworthy or nobody cares!

Constant comparison of yourself to others increases stress and makes you feel less than.

I tell people that if you talked to other people the way you talk to yourself, you would have no friends.  

When that inner critic gets loud and pushy, it shapes how you show up in your work, relationships, and even how you take care of yourself.

Newsflash: thoughts aren’t facts. They’re old scripts from your most critical parent playing over and over in your head.

Why do we believe these stories?

What gets repeated, especially when you’re younger, gets filed away, even when it’s not true. How many times were you told you were bad, selfish, or stupid?

You create negative programs that become limiting beliefs that you start functioning from.

It begins with…

A parent who expects you to be perfect…

The teacher who made a comment that you took personally…

That classmate in middle school who liked to feel superior and made fun of you…

The time you did your best and were told that wasn’t good enough.

Your brain saves comments, criticisms, and untruths, and pretty soon you are using their words against you.

Think of confidence hypnosis like a quiet space for your minda place where you step back from the noise and gently update old thoughts that no longer serve you. 

It’s not magic.

It’s not mind control.

It’s a natural, focused state of awareness where your mind is open to change. 

From that relaxed space, you can:

  • Rewrite the story.
  • Have awareness of how the child in you interpreted the situation that created the feeling. 
  • Update old messages to newer ones that are more true to who you are today.
  • Rehearse who you are in the future using new information.

The science behind Hypnosis

Hypnosis has been shown to help people shift habits, thoughts, and behaviors by working directly with the subconscious mind.

Hypnosis for self-esteem isn’t a magic wand.  It doesn’t “erase” everything overnight.

But what it can do is give you space to:

  • Let go of the old so you can do something different
  • Practice seeing yourself with fresh, kinder eyes
  • Block some of the mental chatter
  • Shift how you respond to challenges

A doctor doesn’t guarantee you will get well.

Teachers can’t teach you how to learn.  

Lawyers can’t promise you will win your case. 

No one can make you do something you really don’t want to do. 

Hypnosis is a process, and sometimes it takes more than one session to find the relief you are looking for in your life.  

I’m ready when you are ready!

Clients often tell me they feel like they have more choice and a new sense of self-worth. 

A client, who stopped smoking after one session, came back for a relationship reboot. She told me,

 “I left feeling confident after the stop-smoking session. I believe you can help me because now I see where I am pushing my boyfriend away, which is what I always do when things start getting real.”  M. Klein, Katy, TX. 

When she left, she was smiling and told me, “That feeling in my chest that I’ve had for years is gone.”
