Hypnosis is also effective in helping people develop the belief that they are capable of learning.

There a stages of learning and hypnosis can be effective in assisting in all of these stages,

Hypnosis can also be effective in aiding with concentration, memorization and understanding,

Hypnosis is extremely effective with pain management but a ethical hypnotist will require a prescription from the clients doctor.  A hypnotist working in conjunction with a medical professional can effectively be a part of the treatment of stress related disorders: irritable bowel syndrom, diabetes, cardiocascular disorders and even cancer.

Beware of the hypnotist that claims to be able to treat these problems as an alternative to medical care.  It may be possible but it is much more safe to have a medical professional at least monitor the progress of treatment.

Theory here is that people in general and women specifically have been convinced (hypnotized) into believeing that child birth should be an unpleasant experience.  Through hypnosis a woman can get rid of the old programing and prepare for a wonderful and fullfilling childbirth experience.

There can be many reasons for the subconscious to believe that it is in your best interest to retain the weight but it must become ready to release the weight for it to happen.

There are many ways for a Hypnotist to access the subconscious and they can all be effective.  The key is to  find a hypnostist who has a program that has proven effective.  Self-hypnosis can also be effective and there are several hypnotists offering programs on CD.  Another possibility  is to have a custom made program made for CD.

I chose this book to review because it is another of the books that changed the way that i do Hypnotherapy. The subtitle is Basic to Advanced Techniques for the Professional.

Until I read this book I had done mostly direct suggestion hypnosis and read or memorized scripts for clients. This book opened my eyes to other ways of helping my clients be successful with their hypnosis experience,

The book starts with describing the best ways to learn hypnosis and moves on to how to set up a Hypnotists office. In my opinion the meat of the book is when they discuss age regression and the use of the affect bridge. Actually Calvin Banyan has developed a system of Hypnotherapy based on these concepts called 5 Path Hypnosis. I have been certified in this method and have found it to be very successful. It is my opinion that nothing has been held back that would enable one to become more proficient in this craft.

There are many more concepts discussed in this book and I believe that even the most experienced Hypnotist can find some value in the pages. of thios book The book concludes with a script for a a modified Elman Induction that is very effective. I recommend this book for any practicing or aspiring Hypnotist or Hypnotherapist

I was thinking about the average new client that comes into my office. Usually, they have tried several (or many) other solutions to their partiuclar problem. Many time hypnosis is a last reosrt. As I have discussed in an earlier post, they are sceptical and nervous. But most of all I think that they believe that the hypnotist has some type of occult power that will rid them of whatever issue that they have come to deal with.

Well, almost all of us would rather have someone take responsibility for our behavior. I would love to be able to take some type of magic pill that would take away all of my problems. I think that most of our new clients are hoping for just that. They hope that we can do some type of hocus-pocus and their problem will just go away. And for some of them, it does. But the truth is that for most of our clients, there has to be some type of personal responsibility on their part to solve their issues.

As a Hypnotist, I can offer support and and help provide tools that my clients can use to solve their problems but I cannot do it for them. I can offer interventions that I have been trained to use to help them The bottom line is that we all need to avail ourselves of whatever tools we can find and take responsibility for solving our on problems.

88I enjoyed publishing the book review on Roy Hunter’s book. I intend to publish regular reviews of books on hypnosis, self-hypnosis, NLP, and other self-help books that I think would be of interest to professionals or the general public.

I have decided to do my first book review of Master the Power of Self-Hypnosis by C. Roy Hunter, M.S. The book instructs the reader on how to use self-hypnosis to change areas of his or her life that they would like to change.

I need to tell the reader that I have met Mr, Hunter several times and have attended several workshops that he conducted. I have also read all of his books. Mr. Hunter is responsible for inspiring me to be the best Hypnotherapist I can be. I also feel that I have had the best training from Mr. Hunter that I have had in all of my hypnosis training.

The first part of the book educates the reader on the history and basic facts of hypnosis. The second part of the book informs the reader of the role of the Subconscious and how to program it. This part of the book also describes stress management. Part three describes the process of defining your goals for self-hypnosis and the process of putting them to work with self-hypnosis. Part four describes creative daydreaming, Part five describes how to inject power into your self-hypnosis.

The book ends with a set of questions and answers about self-hypnosis and a glossery of hypnosis term. Finally, Mr. Hunter a;sp provides some self-hypnoosis scripts and affirmations..

This book is well written and in my opinion is the best book of self-hypnosis available. It is clearly written and Mr. Hunter gets his point across clearly on all subjects. My only complaint is that Mr. Hunter is too modest. He attributes his skills to his mentor, Charles Tebbits. Mr. Tebbits was a great hypnotist and is one of the pioneers of modern hypnotism. Mr. Hunter studied under Mr. Tebbits but I believe that Mr. Hunter has taken what he learned from Mr Tibbets about the art of self-hypnosis and taken it to new heights. I reccommend this book to anyone who is serious about making real changes in their life.

It’s been while since I posted. I have been settling down with a new job and considering where I might want to go with this blog that would interest others. I have decided to post some reviews of the books I have found most helpful in my career as a Hypnotist. I will also talk about other subjects. I intend to post a review at least once a week with other articles that the reader might find helpful. Again, this blog is intended for the general public as well as the practicing Hypnotist. Please watch for my first review, a book about self-hypnosis by Roy Hunter.

One of the most memorable answers to this question is “What the mind can conceive, hypnosis can achieve”. Naturally, there are some things that people probably will not achieve. I don’t think any of us are going to be able to fly without some type of aid. The book Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy says that unaided flying is easy. You just throw yourself into the air and try not to hit the ground. I don’t think we will be able to do that. But I do believe that any reasonable goal can be achieved with hypnosis and some goals that many people do not consider reasonable.

Things my clients have accomplished with Hypnosis

I have worked with people for an lot of different issues. The ones that come to mind are weight loss, smoking cessation, test anxiety, pain management, sports performance enhancement, fear of heights, fear of snakes, other phobias, depression and anxiety. I am sure there are others but I would have to go through many files just to ferret out the answer.

There is lots more

There is an almost infinite number of things that hypnosis can aid from hypnobirthing to dental and medical hypnosis to almost anything you can imagine. If you have a question about anything please feel free to email me or leave your question in my comment section.
