Reviews

"This excellent book helps to demystify the whole experience of receiving hypnotherapy treatment - it is an ideal guide to finding the best possible treatment, the best possible therapist, and the best possible result. It should be read not just by those who are considering hypnosis to sort out their lives but also by therapists themselves!"
- Terence Watts, MCGI, Founder and Chairman of the Association for Professional Hypnosis and Psychotherapy (APHP), Owner of Hypnosense
