Imposter Syndrome and Hypnosis
You work hard. You hit your goals. People say you’re doing great. But inside? You feel like a fraud.
You think, “I’m not good enough. I just got lucky. If they really knew me, they’d see I don’t belong.”
That’s imposter syndrome. And it’s heavy. It steals your joy. It makes every win feel scary instead of good.
But it doesn’t have to be that way. One client from West Linn said, “I used to feel like I was pretending at work. After hypnosis, I started believing I actually earned my spot.”
What Is Imposter Syndrome?
It’s when your success feels fake. You worry someone will “find out” you don’t know what you’re doing—even when you do.
It can show up at school, work, even in friendships. And it doesn’t care how smart or talented you are.
How Hypnosis Helps
Hypnosis calms the noise in your head. It helps you let go of fear and self-doubt. It plants new thoughts like:
“I belong here.”
“I earned this.”
“I’m good at what I do.”
These thoughts feel real, not forced. And that’s where change starts.
What Sessions Are Like
We start by talking. You tell me what’s been going on. Then you get comfy, close your eyes, and I guide you with calming words.
You stay awake. You hear it all. But your mind gets soft and open.
In that relaxed space, we build new confidence.

You Don’t Have to Prove Yourself
You’ve already done the work. You’ve already shown up.
Hypnosis helps you feel that truth in your bones—not just hear it in your head.
What It Helps With
Fear of being “found out”
Feeling not smart enough
Comparing yourself constantly
Talking yourself out of success
Dismissing praise
If this sounds like your brain, you’re not alone. But you don’t have to keep living like that.
It’s Okay to Ask for Help
You don’t have to fix this by yourself. Hypnosis can help you believe what others already see: you’re capable.
