A comprehensive guide for people who love to help others or have a deep curiosity about hypnosis and how it actually works. The text is loaded with examples on how to induce a hypnotic trance and what the hypnotist must know about alleviating or completely eliminating unwanted habits and behaviors in clients. The author has been teaching basic and advanced hypnosis techniques for more than 35 years. His easy-to-follow instructions are supported by an 85-minute video DVD demonstrating 4 unique inductions plus 2 live sessions: one on Age Regression, taking a 70-year-old woman back to her early childhood; the other demo involves Glove Anesthesia in which a 52-year-old woman is taught how to make her hand numb, then transfer it to her jaw. These demos are remarkable in both their simplicity and language clarity. Few books have ever been written that make hypnosis so easy and straightforward for both the professional and the novice. Anyone can learn how to hypnotize another, but it's knowing what to do and say at that point that makes a great hypnotherapist. This is an emotionally and financially rewarding career in a book. The text is clear and simple to follow.
