Customer Reviews

An excellent hypnotherapy text!

This book has to be approached, that is, read, from the standpoint of a hypnotherapist learning to improve his skill set. It is, in a way, a difficult book to read because reading scripts tends to put you into trance. You must consistently read it with an eye toward picking out the phrasing used and the intent of the wording in the scripts. If this is done, the text is quite instructive and complete. The casual reader looking for party tricks won't find them here. This is a book for those with serious interest willing to let its wisdom permeate their subconscious slowly, slowly, deeper and deeper.

Great for intermediates

I am relatively new to hypnosis. I have read a few books and have managed to advance my understanding of the practice with each. In my opinion, this book took me from beginner to intermediate. Some of the claims seem outrageous, but, I think that is part of his point anyway. I feel like I have taken a giant step forward after reading this one.

Best hypnosis book on the market

As a registered Hypnotherapist, I have read many books on hypnosis and this is one of the best. It covers the detailed workings of the induction techniques, deepening processes and similar items. It does an excellent job of explaining how to tell when the person is responding and how deep they are going. The emphasis is on medical hypnosis but it can easily be applied to any situations. If I had to get rid of the hypnosis books in my library and could only keep one then this is the one that I would keep.

Excellent book by a master hypnotherapist

This book contains the distilled wisdom and experience of a master practitioner. He clearly explains his approach and his theory of hypnosis. He offers many well written and powerful scripts. There is a great deal to learn from this book for anyone who sees clients and wants to bring about positive changes in their lives.

hypnosis (without the watch)

An excellent and informative read, as a qualified and experienced hypnotherapist I found the content educational and interesting. I thought I knew all there was to know about my career. Obviously not. I will definetly be refering to this book throughout my career.
