Hypnosis


Hypnosis is a skill, and is difficult to learn from a book. For training in hypnosis, please consider the Professional Hypnosis Certification Course. The real skill in hypnosis has to do with learning patterns of suggestive language, which facilitate deep, emotional change.


Dr. Mau's on book, Emotion: the Power of Change - a Science-based Approach to Ericksonian Hypnosis provides an excellent research-based understanding of hypnosis for therapists, advanced hypnotists, and beginners. For more information, click here.


Igor Ledochowski's Deep Trance Training Manual is a great introduction to hypnosis!  If you find a Volume 2, please let me know!  There's also a External link opens in new tab or windowKindle edition.


Havens and Walter's Hypnotherapy Scripts is a great introduction to Ericksonian approaches to hypnosis.  There is also an External link opens in new tab or windowearlier edition.



The chapter on Patterns of Indirect Suggestion alone is worth the cost of Carol Sommer's Conversational Hypnosis book. There are also excellent script examples of inferred suggestion processes.



Hammond's Handbook of Hypnotic Suggestions and Metaphors is a giant compendium of metaphors on almost any subject.
