Hypnosis For Change

"Hypnosis for Change" is the best introductory text on hypnosis I have seen. With a clear, readable style, the authors give an enjoyable and interesting introduction to hypnosis and its techniques. After a brief history and background, the books comprises a series of chapters on how to use hypnosis for a wide range of issues - weight loss, pain, phobias, sleep, sports and so on. The chapters all follow a broadly similar structure, but develop increasing complexity in technique. The excellent chapter on phobias introduces regression extremely elegantly and the chapter on pain control is also superb. The book ends with some tips and considerations for the practising hypnotherapist.This is a great introductory text for lay person and hypnotherapy student alike; a fabulous springboard into the subject for which the next step for the student might be Michael Yapko's more scholarly (and expensive) "Trancework". Highly recommended.

I soon realised why this was our main course book. Contains the basics for all the most likely hypnotherapy needs, with easy to understand, ready-made scripts which take only a little tweaking. And basic psychology, too. You could probably get by without buying another book on the subject (although wider reading does enrich what's already a treasure trove of a book).

A fantastic book with loads of ideas, insights and guidelines on how to practice in hypnosis and hypnotherapy. The example scripts are a great starting point to writing your own. Really enjoyed this book, very easy to read and did not try to confuse the reader with lots of jargon.

This book is wonderful, it encapsulates so many of the problems faced by long term dieters and takes a very holistic approach for a new way of living rather than just another miracle that happens in 17 hours so long as you eat berries and drink vile infusions of noxious herbs.

Good to anyone who is studying Hypnotherapy - I have found this useful many times during my study - it has many scripts you can use and adapt for your self. I brought it used, it had some changed for self hypnosis so maybe it is useful for that too.

Bought as a gift

a thorough and detailed book. Very practical and good explanations. Highly recommended.

This book breaks down the processes of and the basis of hypnotherapy exceptionally well. Clearly written with some good examples it has assisted me in my study of the subject. Especially good for anyone just getting into hypnotherapy. I highly recommend.
