Self-Esteem [Audio CD]

David Illig (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: March 2002

This CD is designed to increase your self-esteem. High self-esteem means you value and appreciate yourself, and do everything you can to take care of yourself. In this complex world, a strong sense of self or "high self-esteem" is necessary for a healthy living. The way that we value ourselves, and how much we respect our own ability to contribute to the world determines the way we live our lives. The quality of relationships and the degree of passion we allow ourselves to feel in our work and play is usually set by the way we feel about our own worth. Thoughts of self-doubt, or even guilt feelings associated with success, keep us from achieving or enjoying that which we do achieve. This CD will help you to enjoy the peaceful feeling that comes with loving, honoring and valuing the precious gifts that you as a unique individual bring to the world. For the best results, use this CD in combination with Self Confidence, Achieving Success and Goal Setting.

Side A is a Hypnotic and Subliminal Learning Program with beautiful music.

Side B is a Subliminal Learning Program with environmental sounds. You will hear only the sounds of beautiful music and ocean waves. Hidden beneath these sounds are specially designed messages. Only your unconscious mind hears these healthy, powerful messages, turning them into positive feelings and improved self-esteem. As a result, you will give your self-permission to value, appreciate, care and love yourself.

About the Author

Dr. David Illig, Ph.D

David Illig resides in Portland Oregon where he divides his time between consulting in the legal world as a trial consultant and work in the area of self-improvement. His self-improvement products integrate mind/body/spirit approaches. He no longer does individual therapy after years of work in that area. His areas of specialty involved adult victims of child abuse, unconscious processes, medical psychology, mind-body interactions, habit change, marital and sexual issues, as well as general adult therapy.

Dr. David Illig, the author and voice of the SuccessWorld self hypnosis and subliminal programs has been a licensed Psychologist since 1979. His Ph.D. was awarded by Penn State University. Some of his earliest graduate studies involved how our thinking (self-talk) influences both our behavior and feelings.

Hypnotic Learning

As his work with clients developed, he began to realize that much of the thinking and images that influenced people were not actually in "conscious" awareness. These words, pictures, images, thinking, self-talk, rules, conclusions, memories, etc. etc., were actually operating out of conscious awareness. They were occurring at an "unconscious" level. Imagine that the human brain is like 100 operating computers. But only ten have screens so that you can see what they are doing and having an impact on. All of the computers are operating and sending output into the system. The computers without visible screens are strongly influencing people regardless of what is in awareness. Hypnosis was a means of observing and influencing what was occurring at both the conscious and unconscious level. That drew him to it as a viable tool.

This review is from: Self-Esteem (Audio CD)

Belleruth Naparstek says "His voice is trustworthy and gentle, his virtuoso technique is brilliant and masterful."
I agree. I use several of his programs in rotation. He is a comforting voice, not unlike Mister Rogers, using simple, almost childlike images and stories, over lulling music and ocean waves. Illig uses what's called "Ericksonian hypnosis", a a kind of hypnosis that is gentle, permissive, and respectful of the listener. It's a pleasant, relaxing way to spend a half hour. And I'm seeing results- changes in the way I think about things and react to things, which is the whole point of doing this.
In short, if you've used self- help audio programs before, or even if you never have, Dr Illig's programs are wholeheartedly recommended.
