If you are a hypnotherapy practitioner who has been taught that you had to master long, ambiguous linguistic patterns, construct lengthy guided imagery scripts, or follow some arcane and archaic ritual that is fifty or even hundreds of years old, this book will shatter your paradigms and help revolutionize your practice.
Once you get past archaic and non-scientific definitions of hypnosis and find a more elegant explanation, you will discover a variety of applications and can actually improve your ability to communicate and influence others. A former stage hypnotist and member of the OSS (predecessor to the CIA) during World War II, David Elman was asked to teach medical and dental professionals how to use hypnotherapy in their practices. He started his classes by teaching a 3-minute routine. In this book, I present an even faster and more effective way to get the same results. Waking hypnosis, the core concept of this book, is an idea that he promoted to his students.
This book explains waking hypnosis and why It is not the same thing as suggestion. You will get an explanation of how it works, information on medical and dental applications, and a demonstration.
This is Book 3 in the Elman Beyond the Basics series.
