“Who has confidence in himself will gain the confidence of others.” – Leib Lazarow
I’m hallucinating (for me to hallucinate means to imagine) that sometimes things happen that result in you developing self doubt. I’m also hallucinating that when you doubt yourself your self-esteem and confidence suffer. That’s normal. Everyone is affected by low self-esteem and low self confidence every once in a while. It’s when low self-esteem is ongoing, when low self confidence seems to be the norm that problems arise.
I work with all types of people. Clients come to me to help them using hypnosis and Neuro Linguistic Programming or NLP in my San Diego office for all kinds of reasons. Sometimes those reasons revolve around low self confidence and esteem. Today I’d like to talk about how to build your self confidence and self-esteem and give you a couple of techniques that can help you gain confidence instantaneously.

I have been a professional hypnotherapist practicing inSan Diego for nearly a decade. Now I’ve been practicing hypnotherapy for a lot longer than that, in fact when I owned and operated my martial arts schools I helped the students who trained with me excel using visualization techniques I’d learned from hypnosis.
I started learning about hypnosis when I was studying Psychology at the University of San Diego back in the early 80’s. Since then I’ve come to understand that hypnosis is one of the most effective catalysts for positive changes anyone can use.
The Positive Changes You Can Expect

Hypnotherapy what is it, where does it come from? How does hypnosis work? These are some of the questions I asked when I first started learning about hypnosis as I was studying psychology at University of San Diego. I had heard that hypnotherapy was an excellent method of making positive changes, quick and significant shifts in thinking that were long-lasting. I had hear that a classmate of mine was a hypnotist and asked if she would work with me. Being a professional hypnotist she agreed. Not only that, she recommended books to me about hypnosis that started me on my path to become a professional hypnotist.
What is Hypnotherapy?
Hypnotherapy is actually the use of hypnosis in a clinical setting. The word “hypnos” comes from the ancient Greek Hypnos who was the god of sleep. But hypnosis isn’t a form of sleep. It’s actually a mental state where you can easily absorb new ideas into your subconscious mind.

In the movies it can be the scene where the weird-looking man holding a pocket watch determinedly swings it in front of a vulnerable, lost-looking young woman. He slowly and deeply repeatedly utters the phrase, “You are getting sleepy… You’re getting sleepy…” as the girl stares blankly at the clock. You can see the world spinning around her, circling and spiraling. After a while she begins to act like a zombie, or sleepwalker. She has been hypnotized.
This is how most people experience hypnosis, they see a show or watch a movie that makes it appear as if the hypnotist is taking control and making a person do things they don’t want to do. If you’re like most people, what you’ve heard about hypnosis is actually based on myths, fantasy, and fiction. Thanks to our popular culture, hypnotism has achieved an eerie, mystical, otherworldly and sometimes evil reputation.

“The more man meditates upon good thoughts the better will be his world and the world at large.” – Confucius
Confucius hit the nail on the head. If you continually think positive thoughts your world gets better. On the other hand if you are constantly thinking negative thoughts your life gets worse. This is because your thinking controls your focus. So instead of developing the world of your dreams, a negative focus actually attracts the things you don’t want into your life.
There are a number of different methods to help you change your focus. By drawing on techniques used in hypnosis and NLP, you can transform your thinking and your life. Instead of merely getting by, you’ll find that your life can truly be exceptional. By using positive thinking, you will teach your mind to focus on positive solutions rather than your challenges.

“Randomized controlled trials have provided good evidence that both hypnosis and relaxation techniques can reduce anxiety, and prevent panic disorders and insomnia.” – British Medical Journal, 1999
Are your bad habits becoming increasingly irksome? Wouldn’t you love to erase the mental blocks that are keeping you from achieving the success you desire?
You can. How? You can use hypnosis to rewire your subconscious thinking.
Hypnosis works because it allows you to tap into the part of the mind that controls 90% of your beliefs, attitudes, thoughts, and actions – your subconscious mind!
What is Hypnosis Used For?
Hypnosis has been around probably since the beginning of time in some manner or another. While most people experience hypnosis at a show as entertainment, people who have experienced hypnosis techniques in a clinical setting will tell you that the experience can be very beneficial. It gives them a more positive mental outlook about how they can manage the events and issues in their lives. It is this new attitude about their events and issues that create new ways of behaving.
