Can You Really Trust Your Unconscious Mind? (When Doing Self-Hypnosis)

Filed under: Hypnosis Training

You trust your unconscious mind with your life—literally. 

Every breath you take, every step you walk, and every time you drift off to sleep, your unconscious mind is at the wheel. Yet when people begin learning self-hypnosis, they often ask, “Can I really trust myself to run the process effectively?”

Let’s settle this once and for all. After all, if you can’t trust your unconscious mind, whose unconscious mind can you trust?

Why Trust Is the Foundation of Self-Hypnosis

Self-hypnosis isn’t about trying to overpower your thoughts or force change. It’s about harnessing the power of your unconscious mind, the very part of you that already handles so much of your life without you even noticing.

The moment you decide to use self-hypnosis, you’ve already taken the first leap of trust. You’re acknowledging that your unconscious mind contains the resources, creativity, and intelligence to solve problems, generate new behaviors, and help you live better.

That’s not a belief. That’s a fact—proven every day by how your unconscious mind already operates.

You Already Trust Your Unconscious Mind

Many people think they don't trust their unconscious mind—until they realize they already do. Every moment of every day, your unconscious mind is keeping you alive and functioning.

When you sleep at night, your unconscious keeps your heart beating and your lungs breathing. That’s not something you consciously direct. When you’re driving in traffic while chatting with a friend and sipping a coffee, your unconscious is steering, braking, checking mirrors, and keeping you safe.

Even simple daily actions like pouring a cup of coffee, hanging up a coat, or brushing your teeth happen without conscious thought. You don’t micromanage every muscle movement. These are all examples of unconscious processes you already trust completely.

Self-Hypnosis Is Just a Conversation With the Unconscious Mind

At Mike Mandel Hypnosis Academy, self-hypnosis is never presented as something mystical or beyond your ability. It’s simply a skill, like learning to ride a bike or play an instrument—except the instrument is your unconscious mind.

When you sit down to do self-hypnosis, you’re not handing control over to something foreign or strange. You’re communicating with the part of your mind that has always guided you.

You’re not “giving up control”—you’re directing your focus and tapping into an incredibly powerful, creative engine that already knows how to:

  • Resolve internal conflicts
  • Change unwanted behaviors
  • Improve emotional resilience
  • Create powerful internal resources for success

This is what self-hypnosis is all about—intentional transformation through cooperation with the part of you that never sleeps.

The Myth of Needing “Perfect” Focus or Confidence

Many beginners worry they’re “not doing it right.” They think their mind is too distracted or that they don’t feel hypnotized enough. But here’s the truth:

You don’t need to feel “hypnotized” for self-hypnosis to work.

You just need to go through the motions and let the unconscious mind do what it does best: respond to intention and follow suggestions.

The hypnotic trance state isn’t some magical, dramatic thing. It’s a natural, familiar state—the same one you enter when you’re daydreaming, absorbed in a movie, or driving on autopilot.

You’ve been doing hypnosis your entire life. Now it’s just time to do it on purpose.

How to Start Doing Self-Hypnosis (The Easy Way)

Our students are taught simple, effective techniques to go into hypnotic trance and start working with their unconscious minds. But anyone can learn to start using self-hypnosis for their benefit. If you want to learn the basics of self-hypnosis, click here.

Self-hypnosis isn’t about taking a risk. It’s about taking responsibility by guiding the part of you that already drives behavior, stores memories, and shapes your reality.

So instead of asking, “Can I trust my unconscious mind?” ask a better question:

“What amazing changes can I create by working with it consciously?”

When that partnership begins, the results speak for themselves—better habits, stronger confidence, improved focus, deeper sleep, and a profound sense of alignment between what you want and how you live.

The door’s already open. Step through it.
