Hypnosis and the Art of Self-Therapy

by Gordon Milne

Hypnosis is the gentle healer. No chemicals, no side effects--and with this book you can learn to do it yourself.

The range of physical, psychological and stress-related disorders which can be treated with hypnotherapy is surprising--from the chronic pain of arthritis and migraine to the effects of childhood sexual abuse, phobias and sexual problems. It has even been used to replace chemical anaesthesia in childbirth and surgery, relieve asthma, make warts disappear, increase breast size and cure writer's block, as well as promote the 'winning feeling' in sporting performance.

In Hypnosis and the Art of Self-Therapy , Dr. Gordon Milne, a clinical psychologist for over thirty years, presents scripts for self-hypnosis for relaxation, ego-strengthening, stress control, insomnia, nervous indigestion, asthma, preparation for childbirth, hypertension, quitting smoking, migraine, tension headache and neck pain, nail-biting, agoraphobia and itching skin disorders.

There are also fascinating insights into the long and distinguished history of hypnosis, its misuse for entertainment and the hypnosis of witnesses in criminal trials.
