Lynda combines her hypnotic expertise and her experience in assertiveness training on this recording.

Once you have noticed the changes in you, it can be used every so often to support and maintain the changes.

Mental rehearsal in an imaginative framework

It can help build your self esteem and assertive beliefs and so encourage you to behave in a naturally assertive, rather than aggressive, manner. You are asked to imagine clearing out all unhelpful beliefs and opinions, possibly stored from long ago, in your mental inner computer and reprogram yourself to behave in a way that respects your own rights and wishes as well as those of other people. As you listen, the more you become emotionally strong, positive and confident and able to cope more effectively with a wide range of situations in everyday life.

Successful approach

This kind of approach is completely natural and safe. Research shows that when a person first acts out each positive step in their imagination, it dramatically increases the likelihood of their success in the real world. It is also frequently used by sports men and women and performance artists world wide to improve their technique and relieve anxiety. This recording contains powerful suggestions for boosting confidence and self esteem.

Play the recording at a quiet time where you won’t be disturbed

You can relax and drift off to sleep at the end if it is your normal bedtime but if you find that you regularly fall asleep more or less immediately, try listening earlier in the evening or in the daytime instead. It should never be listened to while driving because, as it is so relaxing, it could take your attention away from the road where of course you need to be at your most alert.

The recording is particularly effective when you listen on headphones
