Improving self esteem
This is Dr. Elaine Kindle's expertise. She is the creator of rekindle your self esteem seminar. Her Ph.D. thesis proved that her seminar increased the participants' self esteem.
Typically the first time I hypnotize any client I take them to the self esteem area of their "safe space" and use these words (at times if I'm misunderstood or in group situations like seminars I may repeat the original instruction twice or even three times with emphasis):
And now that we are in the self esteem area of your safe space I want you silently but as loudly as possible in your imagination.... totally silently but as loudly as possible in your imagination repeat with me:
I like myself (repeated ten times)
I approve of myself (repeated ten times)
I like myself (repeated ten times)
Then we go to to the healing area of the safe space.
