So what is the most important skill a Hypnotist can have in their possession? Is It the newest technique? Is it the ability to perform instant and rapid inductions? Is it knowing the exactly what to say?
None of the above is the correct answer. So what is the mystery skill that every Hypnotist needs to have? Well, if you are paying attention and if you noticed the title of this post then the correct answer would be…Confident.

Without a doubt confidence is the number one skill every Hypnotist needs. So why is confidence so important? First off, let’s look at what Hypnosis is exactly. Hypnosis is nothing more then the subconscious communication between your clients subconscious and your subconscious. Yes, I know this isn’t the technical definition of Hypnosis, but just follow me for a moment.
Are You Confident In Your Ability?
People have the ability to pick up little cues which we can’t notice on the conscious level, but the subconscious can. When you are hypnotizing someone you must project confidence or the other person’s subconscious will not allow you to communicate with that person on the same level as someone who projects confidence. When you are confident you come off as the expert, the guy who knows what he is doing. This communicates a lot on a unconscious level to the other person.
Think about this for a moment. Would you let a doctor who didn’t seem “Confident” operate on you? Would you let someone teach you to drive if they don’t seem “confident” they can drive? The truth of the matter is that people feel comfortable and are attracted to people who are confident. Now in terms of Hypnosis would you really let a Hypnotist hypnotize you if they don’t seem confident?
Ok, Ok…I think you got the point here. Confidence is critically to your success. Still, something has always bothered me as a Hypnotist and a Hypnosis Instructor. If confidence is so important then how come almost 90 percent of the Hypnosis Schools and Training completely leave this subject untouched. They teach you techniques, inductions, scripts and none of this matters because without having the confidence to apply what you learn and the ability to sub communicate confident you will NEVER be an effective Hypnotist.
Personally I think I know why this skill is rarely touched on by most Hypnosis Schools and Training. It’s one thing to tell a person to be confident and project confidence, but the real question is how do you teach someone to become confident inside and project it outward step by step? I mean, what exactly does “you have to be more confident” mean really? I have yet to find a course or product that actually teaches Hypnotist in a step by step system how to become more confident.
Yes…we have self hypnosis CD’s and personal development books on the subject but none of them ever give you the ‘Big Picture’ of it all. Well, after years of waiting someone has finally stepped up to the plate and created the product that Hypnotist need more then ever and his name is Nathan Thomas.
The Wait Is Finally Over
If your a regular reader of my blog then you know Nathan is a dear friend. I think he is a great Hypnotist and while young he has already proven himself to be part of the elite in my opinion. Nathan has studied with many of the greats as I have and is really wise beyond his years, but his biggest advantage in my opinion is his youth. Nathan is no longer a teenager, but like me he is younger then 30 and this means we have tend to have a different perspective on things. I think this is what allowed Nathan to see the problem that was facing many beginning Hypnotist and even more advanced Hypnotists. His answer to this question is his new digital program called The Confident Hypnotist.
The Confident Hypnotist Is Nathan’s newest and final product for a while as he is getting ready to take off and travel and just enjoy the young years for a while. The Confident Hypnotist is a complete digital program which means when you order it you don’t have to wait for anything to be shipped. You get instant access to the information the moment you buy. Don’t you just love technology?
The Confident Hypnotist isn’t one book, one audio file or one video. The course consist of Mulitple PDF’s, Audio Files, Videos and Transcripts. Each piece of content is designed to help you gain a solid foundation of what confident is, how to apply it and move you forward.
I actually got access to the course a few weeks ago and I must say it’s a breath of fresh air. Why? Well, this project discusses a subject that is rarely touched on in the hypnosis world. It’s nice to check out a project that isn’t about weight loss, self hypnosis or stop smoking. It’s a fresh perspective which is much needed in the world of Hypnotism. Another nice benefit of this product is that it actually provides value to the customer. Confidence is something all Hypnotist need to know if they want to be successful. This is something you can apply to your personal & professional life.
Another nice feature that some may not pick up upon is that Nathan combined the teachings of both NLP and Hypnosis to tackle this subject. Nathan is smart enough to understand that the teachings of Hypnosis provide benefit to the subject of building confidence, but it’s not the sole expert on the subject. NLP isn’t the sole expert on the subject either, but you combine both of them and you have a pretty powerful combination. So when you get into the main part of the course which is the step by step guide you’ll notice a nice combination of NLP teachings and Hypnosis Teachings.
Now, don’t get scared if you don’t know anything about NLP because I don’t study NLP myself and I was able to figure it all out. I have nothing against NLP, but I have just never gotten around to studying the subject. I know a little bit about it, but a knowledge of it isn’t needed to enjoy this program.
Nathan was also nice enough to include a transcript of all the audio’s and video and this is critical I think. One of the reasons is some people learn better from reading and then some people just like to have a written version of what was said laying around. Nathan does talk a little fast sometimes so you may find the transcripts to be a great resource.
What Included In The Confident Hypnotist Program
As I mentioned above the Confident Hypnotist Program is actually a combination of different pieces of content which create the full course. Here is a small breakdown of each piece of content and a few little things I noticed about each piece of content.
- The Ultimate Confidence Secrets – This is the main meat of the course in my opinion. This would be considered your step by step guide. It also contains some graphs which I found to be very helpful. So if you purchase the course I would start on this one first.
- The Utilization Audio -I found this to be a really great piece of content and one that actually evolves the program. While the Confident Hypnotist is designed to help you become confident you have to ask yourself what to do after the fact. This audio will help you understand how Utilization can be a powerful tool to have in case something goes wrong. Now, to pull this off you will need confidence so it’s a nice addition to the program. Nathan provides clear cut examples and give you step by step instructions on to fully take advantage of this technique.
- Interview With William May – William May is another good friend of mine and an expert at Conversational Hypnosis. I personally found this to be my favorite part of the program. One reason is because the Interview discusses a massive amount of different topics related to confident. The second reason is because this recording tends to really get you thinking about confidence in a way you may never have thought of. William gets you thinking about the good and the bad and gives a lot of great examples. I would recommend you listen to this audio second after the Ultimate Confidence Secrets
- The Instant Induction Inner Game – This is a very useful power point presentation…especially for newcomers who have had trouble with their first induction. Confidence is highly importance when it comes to Inductions. In reality, the induction really doesn’t exist and the other thing going on is the subconscious communication between you and the other person. I really think a lot of people will find this useful. This doesn’t actually teach you step by step how to do an induction but more of an overall on the processes behind the actual induction.
- Subconscious Confidence – This is a a self hypnosis audio Nathan produced to help install many of the unconscious processes of Confidence. This actually is a nice thing to have because confidence starts on the inside of us and Hypnosis helps us to make changes to our internal beliefs. Nathan has a very calming and relaxing voice which I think you will enjoy. I personally recommend listening to this last, but it can’t hurt you no matter what time you check it out.
- The Transcripts – These are really helpful for those of us that don’t like to listen to audio or just like to have a written resource. As far as I know all the transcript for all the above pieces of content will be available. I’m glad Nathan was able to get these made as he was having some problems with the person making the transcripts in the beginning.
- The Silent Hypnotist – This is a special bonus so I’m not going to keep this under wraps for now, but it’s some really great content you’ll enjoy.
So as you can see Nathan has included a lot of content in this course. I could go into a lot more detail for each piece of content, but I don’t want to give all the beans away. Each piece of content is great on its own but when combined it makes for one hell of a complete course on becoming confident. Each piece will build upon the foundation you receive in the main content and by the time your done you’ll have a complete and solid understanding. Now, understanding is one thing so if you buy this course just make sure you take action on the stuff you learn. Knowledge without action is a waste of time in my opinion.
A Few Problems With The Confident Hypnotist
While I have enjoyed this course I wouldn’t feel right if I didn’t give you some of the pitfalls of the course as well. We all know that no course is perfect and to only talk about the good parts isn’t fair to you in my opinion. I believed the better informed you are, the better decisions you make. So here are a few of the issues to me with Nathan Thomas’s The Confident Hypnotist program.
- Sound Quality – The sound quality of most of the audios is very low and hard to hear in my opinion. You have to turn your speakers up to a decent level to really hear.
- Lack of Instructions – I received an early copy of this program so Nathan may have decided to add this to the program when it is actually released. Since this is a digital product it consist of many different pieces of content. So without instructions on what to listen to, read or watch first you really don’t have any idea where to start. Now most people will figure it out by playing around with the different tracks so it’s not a huge problem. Still…It would have been nice to know which direction the author intended us to take with the program.
As you can tell none of these issues are anything that would stop you from enjoying the program, but they are small issues none the less. Either way we all know content is king and that is what we really care about.
The Conclusion Of The Review
In closing The Confident Hypnotist Is A Really Awesome Program that needed to be created in my opinion. We have so many new Hypnotists coming into our profession lacking the knowledge of this skill. This isn’t just a skill for your Hypnosis career its a skill for your personal life as well.
So many people focus on technique when that isn’t the answer. My business partner and friend Taylor Sherman who is an expert on teaching Confidence as well once told me something that I think applies here. He told me before you can win the game on the outside you have to win the game on the inside. Obviously he is talking about developing your inner confidence.
With all of this being said is Nathan’s Program perfect or the end all for this subject…No, it’s not, but it does give you the tools and resources needed to get where you need to go. You get a complete education on the subject as well as the step by step system to install killer confidence in yourself, but at the end of the day you will still have to take action on the information you learn. If you don’t your just wasting money and time.

That’s one of the more honest reviews I’ve read in a while. Nice job. Tell your friend that to get great audio you only need to do a couple small things:
1) use a decent USB mic. I like the “snowball” by Blue.
2) Use free software like Audacity and run the audio through the “compressor” feature to normalize volumes.
In addition, always do your best to record away from any noise.
It is easy and very cheap to get great quality sound.

Hey Chris,
Thanks for the comment. I just do my best to point out any errors I see when I review the product. It can be rough for me sometimes because I only review products I feel are worth recommending, but at the same time no course is perfect and it has it flaws.
Nathan’s course beside the little issues is still pretty solid content. Thanks for posting the information about the audio. I’m sure other readers will also find that information useful.
