Hypnotherapists and hypnotists, who are involved with medical, psychological, and performance-related applications, will be much more capable once they fully understand the concepts used in rapid hypnotherapy. Hypnosis Concepts provides a down-to-earth, simple concept of hypnosis and then explains several powerful concepts. Although this book provides several scripts and demonstrations, it is intended to help practitioners quickly get their practice beyond elaborate and hard-to-master linguistic patterns and complex and lengthy scripts and focus on the basic fundamentals. This book will explain to functional definition of hypnosisThe four states of hypnosisSix signs of hypnosis The importance of efficient selective thinkingHow to rapidly achieve physical and mental relaxationThe difference between somnambulism and the coma stateand much more…Hypnosis Concepts is based upon the work of Dave Elman, a former stage hypnotist who was asked by a group of medical doctors to teach them how hypnosis could be easily integrated into their practices. These doctors had become frustrated with the lack of results gained by using the techniques taught by Milton Erickson, M.D. Elman claimed that his students could get much better results using his techniques. This is Book 2 in the Elman Beyond the Basics series.
I appreciate Dr. Brunson’s explanations of induction vs trance. This book expands on the topics covered in the first book and offers a few interpretations that expand on Elman’s technique.
