Book Review: Master the Power of Self-Hypnosis by C. Roy Hunter
I have decided to do my first book review on 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.
Treating Panic Attacks With Hypnosis
Panic attacks can disrupt your life. You can be in the middle of a routine daily behavior and a panic attack can kick in. First, you have trouble breathing. Your heart starts beating faster. You think you might be having a heart attack. There is a sense of impending doom. You are not sure what is wrong but you begin to think something is very wrong. Then you focus on the feelings and as you think about them they increase. Now, you can’t breath, your chest hurts the sense of impending doom increases. Then the cycle just increases and it is a cycle that just continues to spiral. This describes a severe panic attack.
Hypnosis and Weight Control
Hypnosis is a safe and effective way to loose and weight. It can help you loose the weight you want and to develop a healthy eating plan and increase physical activity. It can also aid with maintaining the weight you have lost. The key is to change behaviors by focusing on change in the subconscious mind. The conscious mind can know that the behavior change is needed and wanted but until the subconscious mind accepts and believes that weight lose is in your best interest, it will not allow it.
Be Healthy and Have Fun With Self-Hypnosis
I have been enthused about hypnosis for years. I finally searched out an instructor and learned how to perform hypnosis.
Training to Bring a Client to the Hypnotic State
There are lots of ways to train in hypnosis. My initial training was as a licensed mental health professional. I actually could have used my license to practice hypnosis but I decided that becoming a certified hypnotist would be in the best interests of my clients.
Stage Hypnosis
Almost everyone has heard of hypnosis and it has become more recognized as a method of helpong with mental health issues such depression and anxiety. It is also helpful with problems caused by behaviors such as addiction and overeating. Hypnosis has long been known for it’s entertainment value or stage hypnosis.
Book review: Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy by Calvin Banyan and Gerald Kein
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. I believe that the subtitle describes the book perfectly.
Explaining NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programing)
Basucally Neuro-Linguistic Programming is the process of replacing negative implants in our subconscious mind with more positive imprints. As human beings we all constantly have thoughts that effect our feelings and behavior. If these thoughts are negative, we will experience depression, anxiety, fear, frustration or other negaitive emotions. Then the combination of our thoughts and our emotions create our behavior. If we want to change our emotions or behavior, we need to go back and change our thoughts. We call these thoughts “self-talk”.
Hypnosis and Childbirth
A lot of people consider this to be a fairly new use of hypnosis but I believe that hypnosis has been a part of childbirth since women have been having children. I believe that some mid-wives have been pracitcing this process since time began More women are once again becoming aware that hypnosis is a safe and a more comfortable way to bring their children into the world. This can be done without anesthesia, and drugs and little or no discomfort.
NLP & Establishing Rapport
One of the most powerful techniques of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is matching. This is a very powerful rapport building exercise. Basically, this means copying someones actions or attitude. If they nod their head, a moment later you nod your head. If they stand in a particular posture, you adopt that posture. It is important they they do not realize that they are copying their behavior but that the process of matching seems natural.
