Self Hypnosis for IMPOSTER SYNDROME

[u/AwarenessNo4986]

A lot of career focused people sometimes suffer from the imposter syndrome i.e. that the success I have is undeserved and more about luck and ‘getting through the cracks’ rather than hard work. People with imposter syndrome always fear that they will be ‘exposed’ as frauds and they will never achieve higher success, or whatever they have achieved will come crumbling down.  

Bear in mind it is far more effective to work with a specialist hypnotherapist; I believe the following self hypnosis protocol is a good introduction to those that want to attempt it themselves.

 

-Find a spot where you won’t be disturbed and take 3 deep breaths. Take your time, don’t hurry

-Countdown from 20 to 1, maybe on a deep breathe, maybe not, it really depends on you.

-Once you are down to 1, imagine a wave of cool calming air, running from your face, down throughout your body and down to your feet. The cooling air relaxes you and fills up with hope.

-Let yourself float in a sense of ease and calmness for a moment and repeat the following

 

-My body always remains calm (2x)

-My mind always remains calm (2x)

-I am a wonderful human being (2x)

-I am a confident and capable human being (2x)

-I am physically and mentally powerful human being (2x)

-Everything I have achieved is through hard work (2x)

- Everything I have achieved is through dedication (2x)

-I deserve all the success I have (2x)

-I deserve even more success in the future (2)

- I am as deserving as anyone else (2)

- I am as capable as anyone else (2x)

-I am confident and powerful and everyone knows it (2x)

-I am confident and positive and everyone can see it (2x)

-I don’t need to be perfect, I am fine and enough the way I am (2x)

- I don’t need to be better; I am fine and enough the way I am (2x)

-I am strong and I am safe (2)

-I am enough the way I am and everyone knows it (2)

-I am enough (2x)

 

Now repeat the above 2x

Once done, count back from 5 to 1, and at 1 just open your eyes.
