And I knew that I wanted to test it and write this review for you.
That's what I did...
Oh, and I also knew that at least 51% of men will call it a big scam…

Summary
This product is a jewel among the dating products. As long as you are willing to put in the time and the work, this audio program has the power to reprogram your mind for more confidence and complete social freedom.
Don't worry. It's okay to be skeptical.
Maybe you are one of them, maybe not. In order to find out, I want to ask you a few simple questions...
The Question that Made Me Cry in Front of the Mirror
"What do you see when you look at yourself in the mirror?"
Do you see a self-confident man who is ready to go out and to get what he wants, or do you see a shy and anxious man who doesn’t have what it takes?
Be honest. There is no need to lie to yourself. In fact, you have probably buried your self-esteem issues for way to long…just like me.
A couple of years ago I had such a low self-confidence and such severe anxieties that I couldn’t even leave the house. During that time I asked myself one simple question over and over again:
“How would my life look like if I had all the confidence in the world?”
When I was lying awake at night, crying in my pillow because I had neither friends nor a girlfriend, I imagined a life with confidence.
I imagined myself as a man who feels assertive when he enters the room. I saw someone who is able to start conversations with strangers. I saw someone who is able to approach women with confidence and to get their phone numbers with ease. I imagined myself waking up next to a beautiful naked woman who snuggles up to me.
That was the life that I wanted. That was the man I wanted to become.
The reality?
While I had this vision of my confident future, I was lying next to two used tissue papers, one to dry my tears and one with the leftovers of my latest porn indulgence.
I still had a long way to go and Hypnotica helped me to stay on my path…
My Long and Painful Search for Self-Confidence
I know what you came for. You were searching for a review of Hypnotica’s Collection of Confidence program and not because of my life story. I know that. But I also want you to understand that this product is about more than a quick intermezzo. It’s about long-lasting change, a new life and…your journey.
And I honestly believe that sharing my long and painful search for more self-esteem and the effect that The Collection of Confidence had on my life, will help you far more than a quick list of pros and cons (don’t worry, you get the pros and cons later).
So, where do I start without sharing my whole life story with you?
Maybe I should start at the moment when I was lying on the floor shaking.
Life was good
I had just ended a four year relationship and I felt completely lost. I was finally free, but my confidence reached an all-time low.
I ended a relationship that I should have ended three years ago. I had never talked to another woman than to my now ex-girlfriend. I had never approached a woman. I had never slept with another woman.
My social anxiety was killing me.
Even while I was lying on the floor, shaking and sobbing, I thought about what other people would think of me.
What will my parents think of me when I tell them that I ended the relationship with the only woman who ever wanted to touch me?
What would my ex-girlfriend think about me if she could see me lying on the floor, like a pathetic wimp?
I was sure that she would be happy that I was gone. Hell, I was the one who broke up and I was the one shaking and sobbing. Something was terribly wrong.
I needed to change and after a couple of weeks of shaking and sobbing I finally decided to take a bootcamp with one of the most well-known dating coaches in the world, Sasha Daygame.
“But what has Sasha Daygame to do with Hypnotca’s Collection of Confidence program?” you're probably asking yourself right now.
Well, Sasha is not only my mentor (here you can see an email I sent him years ago), but also a close friend of Eric Von Sydow aka Hypnotica, as you can see in this picture:
He introduced me to the man whose audio program gave me the confidence I always wanted to have.
Have You Ever Been in a Similar Situation?
No, I don’t want to know if you have ever taken a seduction bootcamp. Maybe you have ,maybe you haven't. It doesn’t matter.
You are not me and I am not you. Your experiences and your journey are different than mine. And that’s okay.
Maybe you haven’t been through a rough breakup. Maybe you haven’t wasted four years of your life in a toxic relationship that left your confidence shattered in thousand pieces. Maybe you haven’t had confidence issues since you were a kid, because you have scars all over your body.
Sorry, I am talking too much about myself again.
I just want to know one thing:
Have you ever felt so anxious, desperate and insecure that you just couldn’t take it anymore?
I bet you have. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be reading these lines.
And no matter if your low self-esteem is rooted in bad experiences with women, bad experiences in school or childhood traumata that you carry around for your whole life…
…I want you to understand that your confidence issues can be solved.
There is a path that allows you to become the confident man you always wanted to be, but it requires dedication, action and persistence and the sad truth is that you might be one of those men who are just not willing to walk on it, no matter how rewarding it might be.
The Path that Leads You Towards…
Higher earnings:
According to a study of the University of Naples Federico II recent economic research found a positive correlation between self-confidence and earnings. In other words, the more self-confidence you have, the bigger your bank account. Feel free to find out more about this study.
Higher performance:
According to a study about enhancing human performance, self-confidence is one of the major motivating factors that lead to high achievements and the persistence that is required to achieve outstanding results. I made the same experience. Confidence really is a superweapon when it comes to achieving great things in any area of your life. You can check out the study here.
A life without anxiety and depression:
A study conducted by Julia Friederike Sowislo of the Department of Psychology at the University of Basel in Switzerland came to the conclusion that there is a strong correlation between self-esteem and depression. She found out that whenever your self-esteem decreases, your chances to suffer from depression and anxiety increases. Have a look at her findings.
A fulfilling sex life:
A study that examined the relationship between self-esteem and sexual self-concept revealed a strong correlation between self-esteem and sexual anxiety and sexual self-efficacy. The study was conducted with people with physical-motor disabilities, but I am sure that the results would be same for other men as well. In fact, I know it from my own experience.
Confidence is damn sexy
Now that you know why science thinks that a high self-confidence is the key to money, achievements, emotional wellbeing and a fulfilling sex life, I want you to think about what I said at the beginning of this review.
Do you remember how I said that at least 51% of men will call The Collection of Confidence a scam?
“At least 51% of men will call it a big scam…"
That’s what I said.
But why did I say this, when having a high self-confidence is so important and when Hypnotica’s audio program promises you to reach this goal?
Well, because at least 51% of guys are still looking for the quick fix…
The Solution: Reprogram Your Mind
Collection of confidence is different. That’s exactly why some guys will not be satisfied with it. That’s why some guys will ask for a refund after a period of time that is way too short to see any results.
Later we are going to find out if you are one of these guys, but I first want you to realize something that took me years to realize:
There is no quick fix!
Wake up!
There is no magic button that increases your self-esteem overnight. There is no magic pickup line that turns you into a self-confident seducer in less than 24 hours. That's just marketing BS that sleazy pick up artists try to sell you.
There is only one solution to heal and rebuild your self-confidence once and for all AND you won’t like it.
Why?
Because it doesn’t sound as easy and effortless as all the lies you have been told by so many pickup gurus. The truth is that you can't just listen to an audio program while watching TV, do nothing and expect a fundamental change.
It’s about listening to an audio program, taking notes, doing the exercises and improving step by step.
It’s about reprogramming your mind.
And I am very sorry to say this, but reprograming your mind takes more than listening to one module for ten minutes before you give up.
It’s about attacking the root of the problem. It’s about a journey that heals your inner game, not about ignoring your emotions and hoping for a spontaneous healing.
How I Tripled My Confidence by Reprogramming My Mind
In the headline of this article I made a very bold statement. I said that Hypnotica’s Collection of Confidence program tripled my confidence in 29 days. It’s the truth.
I plan to write a lot of product reviews in the near future and some of them will be so devastating that I am still thinking about my speech for the defense, in case one of the product creators wants to sue me.
Thank God my best friend is nearly finished with his law studies...
I don’t worry about this when it comes to The Collection of Confidence. It helped me to (at least) triple my confidence. I am dead serious.
Did the change happen overnight? Of course not!
Did change happen gradually and fundamentally? Hell yeah!
It’s all about three methods of healing that are scientifically proven to work.
Say “hello” to meditation, neuro-linguistics programming and progressive behavioral conditioning.
Wait? What?
Why I Doubted that The Collection of Confidence Would Work
I know what you are thinking right now.
“Isn’t neuro-linguistic programming this weird communication method that was so famous in the 80s?”
“Isn’t hypnosis something that only weird magicians do on cable TV?”
“What the heck is progressive behavioral conditioning?”
Don’t worry. I had the same thoughts. When I first heard about the teaching methods that Hypnotica uses in The Collection of Confidence I was more than skeptical.
I doubted that it would have any effect on me.
I doubted that Hypnotica is the real deal...
I mean, I read a lot about neuro-linguistic programming (just like any other aspiring seducer) and I knew that this approach has its hidden powers. In case you are interested in this topic and have further questions, you can shoot me an email.
The only problem with neuro-linguistic programming, even though its effectiveness has been proven in dozens of studies, is that the intensity of its effect varies from person to person. In my experience, the more open you are for it, the more of an effect it will have on you.
Anyway, neuro-linguistic programming was an old friend of mine and I knew progressive behavioral conditioning (the gradual instalment of new beliefs, attitudes and behaviors for long-lasting change) from my psychology classes in college.
The one thing I couldn’t deal with was hypnosis.
Why I Eventually Bought The Collection of Confidence
I was convinced that it was nothing but mumbo jumbo.
Then I read a book on hypnosis. Then another one (I read a lot) and once I realized that introducing a state of consciousness that makes you responsive for guidance can actually be a good thing.
It is scientifically proven that hypnosis can relieve you from pain, help you to quit smoking and it can even improve the condition of cancer patients.
“If hypnosis can heal all these things, it might heal my self-confidence”
That’s what I was thinking. That’s what eventually made me buy Hypnotica’s Collection of Confidence course.
I listened to every single one of Hypnotica’s words. I listened to every module and to some of them twice. I listened to his free bonus programs that he gives you after the purchase. I made notes. I did the exercises. I put in the work.
It worked. It didn’t work overnight, but it worked.
I didn’t feel different during module one, but something happened inside of me at the beginning of module two. Something had changed. I felt more confident than ever before. The hypnosis seemed to work.
It was easier than ever before to approach women. Hell, after module three I experienced what it means to have complete social freedom. I suddenly had the confidence to do whatever I wanted…and ended up on a nudist beach (that’s another story).
Life is awesome when you have complete social freedom and absolutely no anxiety.
How The Collection of Confidence Can Also Triple Your Confidence
Now that you know how I got to know Hypnotica (thanks Sasha!), what scientifically proven techniques The Collection of Confidence audio program is based on and what effect it had on me, you are probably asking yourself the following questions:
Who is Hypnotica and why should I listen to him?
How is the program structured?
What can The Collection of Confidence help me to achieve?
I asked myself the exact same questions and today I want to answer them for you.
Let’s start with the first one.
“Who is Hypnotica and why should I listen to him?”
Eric von Sydow aka Hypnotica is one of the most famous and trusted authorities in the seduction community. Hypnotica was one of the founding fathers of the seduction community and is known as the “Inner Game Guru”.
Contrary to other members of the seduction community, he really deserves this title. In the bestselling book “The Game” Neil Strauss credits him for improving his inner game. Eric von Sydow is the character “Rasputin” in The Game.
I can honestly say that I have never met a guy who knows more about inner game and how women respond to it. Maybe that’s why he was also successful as a strip club manager, before he became known as the world’s leading inner game coach.
“How is the program structured?”
The structure of the course is pretty straightforward.
- The program contains The Collection of Confidence course + Advanced Male Confidence (Bonus 1) + Shield of Impenetrability (Bonus 2)
- The Collection of Confidence course is structured in five modules
- The five modules of the main course are over 3.5 hours of audio material (approximately 212 minutes)
- Advanced Male Confidence (Bonus 1) contains approximately 54 minutes of audio
- The Shield of Impenetrability (Bonus 2) contains approximately 60 minutes of audio
- All modules are audio lessons that you can either download or listen to in the member's area
Downloading or listening to it directly? It's your choice
Here’s what the single modules will teach you in one simple sentence:
Module 1:
How you can implement long-lasting change, no matter what personal experiences you might have had in the past.
Module 2:
How to reframe rejection in a way that makes you want to go out and meet women
Module 3:
How to become a decisive leader who has the ability to attract women through his presence
Module 4:
How to attract and seduce women as a good and genuine guy by replacing your underlying aggression (and insecurity) with assertiveness
Module 5:
How to develop a healthy self-acceptance and self-confidence by expanding your comfort zone with practical exercises
Advanced Male Confidence:
How to reprogram your mind to even more confidence (hypnosis based audio)
Shield of Impenetrability:
How to create a shield around yourself that protects you from negative thoughts and beliefs (hypnosis based audio)
“What can The Collection of Confidence help me to achieve?”
The program will help you to become a more confident man.
That’s the short answer, but this audio program is about so much more.
If you follow the instructions, listen to the hypnoses and do the exercises that Hypnotica asks you to do, you can actually experience a form of change that you have never experienced before. From effective goal setting to reprogramming your brain in a way that makes you want to take action whenever you see a beautiful woman without even thinking about rejection …this audio course has it all.
The change I experienced while listening to The Collection of Confidence was deep, fundamental and long-lasting. I finished the program a couple of months ago and I still feel the impact.
What’s the biggest breakthrough this course can give you?
Social freedom!
Social freedom is the freedom to not care about what other people think of you and in my humble opinion it’s the most precious freedom there is.
I can’t even think of one article in which I don’t emphasize the importance of not caring about what others think of you and Hypnotica does and outstanding job in giving you complete social freedom.
How does Hypnotica make sure that you achieve social freedom?
He helps you to overcome your fear of rejection, he helps you to turn action into a habit and he holds your hand when it comes to expanding your comfort zone.
Heck, he even shares his own personal social freedom exercises with you and to be honest, this man did some really powerful stuff.
What did he do?
You’ll find out in the members area of The Collection of Confidence
The Pros of The Collection of Confidence
This wouldn’t be a proper product review if there wouldn’t be a detailed pros and cons list. Let’s start with the pros, shall we?
Here’s a quick sum up of the main benefits of the program:
Pros of The Collection of Confidence
- Hypnotica is an expert who has helped some of the leading seduction coaches in the world, such as Neil Strauss and David DeAngelo
- The product offers a step-by-step guidance
- Clearly structured with 5 modules
- More than 5 hours of audio material that was recorded by Hypnotica
- This course tackles the root of the problem
- It's not another fake it till you make it product. It's about making it!
- Focuses on long-lasting and fundamental change
- Contains practical exercises and Hypnoticas personal experiences
- Contains powerful hypnosis that are based on scientifically proven teaching methods
- Reprograms your mind for more self-confidence and complete social freedom
The Cons of The Collection of Confidence
Even though the product helped me to improve my confidence, I can’t deny that there are some cons that you should also consider. No product is perfect and especially when it comes to one that is so different than the rest out there, a few negative side effects are inevitable.
Here’s a quick sum up of the cons that await you when you decide to purchase Hypnotica’s Collection of Confidence:
Cons of The Collection of Confidence
- It's not what you expect from a typical pickup product
- You have to be open to an alternative way of healing
- Focuses solely on inner game and has no outer game techniques
- There is no description of the modules in the members are that reveals what the module is about
- A written summary of the main points and exercises of each module would have been helpful
- Achieving the results that this product makes possible requires time, dedication and patience
Hypnotica’s The Collection of Confidence is the Right Product for You if…
- You are sick and tired of suffering from social anxiety and approach anxiety.
- You are the typical nice guy (no offense – been there too) and you constantly worry about what other people think of you.
- You understand that the quick fix to more confidence is nothing but a lie and that real and long-lasting change takes time.
- You are willing to invest the time and energy that is needed in order to become the man you want to be.
In other words: if you are like me, this program will change your life.
Hypnotica’s Collection of Confidence is NOT For You if…
- You are immune against the auditory style of learning (apparently that exist).
- You still believe that there must be a magical quick fix that will heal your confidence overnight.
- You are 100% sure that neuro-linguistic programming is the work of the devil and that hypnosis is a scam.
- You are not willing to do the exercises.
I honestly believe that The Collection of Confidence is a great product, but if you recognize yourself in one of the four cons, you should NOT buy this product.
How to Use Hypnotica’s Collection of Confidence for Maximum Success
There is a wrong way of using this audio program and there is a right way of doing it.
Way #1: You can be skeptical about Hypnotica’s way of teaching. You can listen to the audios while constantly thinking “that shit won’t work”. You can do none of the exercises and complain that the program doesn’t contain specific techniques to approach women from three different angles.
Way #2: You can be skeptical but open to Hypnotica’s way of teaching. You can listen to the audios while focusing on every single word he says. You can do all the exercises and understand that this is an inner game product that focuses on holistic change.
I really hope you prefer way #2, just like my awesome reader Joseph who allowed me to share this email with you:
Hey Sebastian,
about six weeks ago I decided to buy the collection of confidence product you recommended in one of your podcasts. The fact that Hypnotica was one of Neil Strauss mentors convinced me.
Actually, I read the game back in 2006 but it took me until now to finally take action. I wasted so much time. But anyway, I enjoyed the program. His trances and his advice helped me to feel better about myself.
I always struggled with confidence. I couldn't even talk to girls in a non-sexual way. Just like you said in one of your podcasts.
Two weeks ago I made my first approach. I was nervous but with Hypnotica's guidance it was doable. I feel good now. After listening to the audios for more than one month, I feel better than ever before.
Thanks again for recommending this product. It really works.
It makes me so happy to hear that Joshua improved his confidence with Hypnotica’s program.
Williams feedback put an even bigger smile on my face...
Hey Sebastian,
I just want to share my experience with the collection of confidence with you. You can share it on your blog or on your podcast if you want.
I can't thank you enough for telling me about this product.
It's a game changer. I've always been insecure, shy and I was diagnosed with social anxiety disorder at age 15.
I could identify with your podcast in which you mentioned that you were too shy to take your shirt off. I was that guy even though I don't have a scar like you.
I spent two months going through the collection of confidence. You might think I wasted a lot of time but it was exactly what I needed. I listened to the audios again and again and again until I got it. I mean I really got it.
After these two months, I wal differently, talk differently and behave differently,. Finally, I have the confidence to approach women, to introduce myself to strangers and to live life.
I'm no longer afraid to live life.
Tyrell had an even more profound experience with The Collection of Confidence...
Hello Sebastian,
In your review of collection of confidence you describe how Hypnotica gave you superpowers.
To be honest, I didn't believe a word you said. I've bought too many scam products in the past. I had zero confidence and I took it as a personal insult that you claim this product offers the solution to my problem.
Seriously, I just bought it because I like your podcast. It turns out that this was the best decision I could make. This product rocks, man. I listened to the audio lessons so many times and each time I feel better and more powerful.
I went from having no confidence at all to having the confidence to approach groups of girls.
Thanks again for being so persistent.
What about YOU?
Are you still waiting for the quick fix that doesn’t exist?
Are you still hoping that one day you will wake up with the confidence to approach any woman you want?
The truth is that there is no quick fix and that you won’t just wake up one day with unshakable confidence.
Developing true confidence requires a deep fundamental change...
I also hope you understand that every day that you don’t work on your confidence is a day without the social freedom that you need to succeed with women and in life...

Hey Tsu,
you are absolutely right. Just click on the button in my review.
I believe that the reprogramming of the subconscious mind is the only way to achieve absolute confidence. I like to buy the program. Pls send the link to me. Thanks!
Hey Cristian,
I took about a month to go through the course, but I listened to the audios multiple times. I experienced the first internal changes after about one week. It takes time but it’s powerful. Shoot me an email if you have another question. I hope that helps.
Hallo Sebastian,.I really like what you are doing,.I have learnt a lot from your articles.,
So it’s 2018 and am writing this,.I have a question in particular,how long can one expect to get and see results after being patient and doing the practises in this product,.?!
Hey Brad,
that’s awesome! I hope it will change your life as much as it changed mine!
Well, I’ve jumped through all manner of bureaucratic rigmarole just to get a credit card and have finally gone ahead and purchased this. I’ve read a number of your posts, and while I doubt I’ll ever have the level of success you have, I have identified that my weak point is my self-confidence. I do so hope it is worth it.
Thank you in advance (if it works).
Hey Ope,
The collection of confidence builds up your inner confidence (your inner belief system, your emotional strenght and your attitude towards rejection). This is what you need to work on your outer confidence (the confidence you have in certain situations with women). Outer confidence can only be gained by taking action. And your inner confidence allows you to take action. Let me know if you have any more questions.
Hi there Sebastian,
You mentioned the terms ‘inner confidence’ and ‘outer confidence’. I kind of understand the difference between the two however, are you implying that COC doesn’t help to improve your outer confidence whatsoever? Are there better programs to help your outer confidence?
your lucky you discovered this site at 18 Issa, very lucky, i’m sure many wish this site was available decades earlier, but yeah, it seems the way life, reality is meant to work, is that men are expected to be the ones to get promoted at work or get a raise at work, thats what it seems like, when a guy becomes good with getting women, getting dates or getting a girlfriend, it helps him in getting promotions at work, or getting a raise at work, but when a woman improves her dating life, it doesn’t really benefit her like that.
Hey Issa,
I think that they can work really well together. As long as you are willing to invest time, The Collection of Confidence will give you the self-confidence to put the advice and techniques from the Shogun Method into practice. In case you have any futher questions, you can shoot me an email.
Yo Sebastian I’m new to the seduction community and i would like to ask you a question if you don’t mind.
I’m 18 year’s and i first want to buy the Collection of Confidence and get my confidence and inner game to another league and just improv my life and have funny overall and after i plan to buy the shogun method to improve on my girl skills. what do think can those two methods go together smoothly.
Hey Guy,
I only recomment products that I believe in and this one really delivers on its promise…if you take the time and do the exercises.
wow interesting post, i usually dont buy into this sort of thing but you make a very compelling case, may have to take a look
