For all those wanting professional help to solve problems such as mental and emotional trauma, anxiety, depression, phobias and lack of self-esteem and eliminate unwanted habits, such as smoking, this introduction to hypnotherapy is useful.

This guide explains what hypnotherapy is, how your conscious and unconscious mind works, what it feels like to be in hypnosis and how to work with scripts. It introduces different branches of hypnotherapy to the reader (ie. suggestion therapy; desensitisation therapy; analytical hypnotherapy) so that a broad overview is covered.

Separate key issues are dealt with in turn: common phobias, eating disorders, smoking, lack of self-confidence so that the reader can see how pertinant this therapy could be for them.

The book gives advice on finding a reputable hypnotherapist.
