This Compact How To Guide is an important follow up to my previous book, 'The Power of Hypnosis'.
'Advanced Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy' quickly picks up where 'The Power' left off. It provides additional details on the seven-step hypnosis process. More importantly, for each step, the book addresses challenging client situations, reasons why they occur, and how to handle these tricky situations like a pro.
This type of practical training is seldom delivered in a book format. That's why I wrote this guide. I really needed this information when I started practicing hypnosis.
Just don't be fooled by the size of this book. I've packed it with key information without the filler. It's tightly written for hypnotists and hypnotherapists in training. That said, it can easily serve as a valuable reference for practicing hypnotists.
More than anything, this book presents the many challenges I’ve faced as a practicing hypnotist. I've translated these challenges and the solutions into training scenarios that will save you a lot of time, frustration and expense.
Here are the topics and benefits you’ll get from reading this guide:
