A friendly and brief guide to the essentials of hypnosis.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Popular author Bill O'Hanlon offers an inviting and reassuring guide to the essentials of hypnosis, alleviating the newcomer's anxieties about how to make the most of this clinical tool.

This brief book illustrates the benefits of solution-oriented hypnosis, which draws on the work of the pioneering therapist Milton Erickson (with whom O'Hanlon studied) and emphasises doing what is needed to get results. This often means trusting that the client holds within themselves answers or knowledge that need only be tapped or released by the therapist.

O'Hanlon covers the key aspects of hypnosis, including using possibility words and phrases, using passive language, and inducing trance. He offers practical tips and friendly encouragement for the novice hypnotherapist in his characteristic warm, reassuring, and humorous style.
