Publisher's summary

Explains and demonstrates how to create and utilize mind-body connections for unknotting vexing problems.

In the popular imagination, hypnosis is misconstrued as something done to people, as if the hypnotist hypnotizes them. And hypnotherapy is similarly misconceived as something done to clients' problems, as if the therapist could unilaterally counter or cure them. In a refreshing departure from conception-as-usual, Douglas Flemons offers another view, articulating relational ideas about how minds and bodies communicate and learn.

In his characteristically casual and concise way, Flemons explains and illustrates how hypnosis, like meditation, is invited, not induced, and how hypnotherapy entails the altering and unraveling of knotted strands of problematic experience, not the controlling and abolishing of labeled afflictions. The therapist gets in sync with clients so they can, together, extemporaneously facilitate changes to undesired thoughts, urges, emotions, sensations, or behaviors. This book takes you to the heart of hypnotherapy, to the respectful, playful practice of utilizing clients' flow experience to collaboratively discover and create opportunities for embodied learning and therapeutic change.

Precise explanation of clinicians techniques in hypnotherapy

Pleasantly surprised to have a book that provided such a clear explanation of techniques to use in hypnotherapy. So well written, but I will be looking for more books written by the author.

One of the Best Books Ever Written on Hypnosis and It’s Use in Psychotherapy

I can’t recommend this book strongly enough to any psychotherapist or practitioner of hypnosis. Of all the books, and I have a few dozen spanning over 50 years of “ modern” hypnosis, this will delight, en-trance, and involve all of you in Dr. Flemons exposition. Enjoy and employ!
