About this session
- Builds assertiveness
- Boosts self-belief
- Sharpens communication
- Releases old beliefs
This hypnosis session opens with a talk about why you want to be assertive, then relaxes your body from the feet upward. A lift carries you down through four levels of your mind. At the bottom you watch someone assertive you admire, coach the guide in their methods, and finally slip into their role yourself.
It suits anyone who knows what they want to say but struggles to say it: in meetings, in friendships, in dating, in decisions. Use it before a day that will test you, in a quiet midday break, or at night. It works best when you come back to it regularly.

Questions people ask
Still unsure? Ask your assistant anything about this session.
Why does the session talk for so long before the relaxation begins?
The opening is part of the work. The speaker greets you in a warm voice, then in a flat announcer voice, then in a bored one, to show you can already feel the difference between tones. He then asks you to picture how assertiveness would change your relationships, decisions, clothes, posture and voice, so you know exactly what you are going toward.
What is waiting on each level of the elevator?
The first level is a space in colours you link with assertiveness. The second shows films of assertive people you admire and moments from your own life when you felt that way. The third is an empty dark space where you leave beliefs about assertiveness picked up from parents, culture and others. The last is a bright blank space where your future is yet to be written.
Why watch a hero or heroine instead of picturing yourself?
Seeing someone else makes it easier to notice detail: their tone, pace, posture, facial expression and how others respond. You act as director and may stop the film to change the script. Only after that do you freeze the scene, step into the character like a costume, and live it through your own eyes and ears.
What is the lecture part, where I teach the speaker?
You imagine the speaker as your student, asking what your hero taught you. He asks about body language, facial expression, tone of voice, pace, eye contact, gestures, and whether to sit forward or back. Explaining it aloud in your mind shows you how much you already know, and you can pause to rewatch the scene when you are unsure.
Does being assertive here mean being loud?
No. The session says assertive people do not shout. They are clear and they get heard. Your hero can stay firm and calm even when not everyone agrees with a decision, and they do not need to be perfect, only able to handle surprises with some charm.
How do I keep using this after the session ends?
For the next two weeks, rehearse real situations in your mind: watch your character handle it, then step in and do it yourself. The track suggests listening daily, or every second day if time is short, for 21 days. It describes assertiveness becoming as available as changing gear in a car.
