Product reviews for Hypnotize Yourself Out of Pain Now! Second Edition

Excellent an encouraging self hypnosis book inspired by the author's personal pain recovery techniques. The book is really reassuring. A valuable self hypnosis tool. It gives real practical self hypnosis tools for the reader who needs cheer, encouragements, and guidance, it has sound, detailed advice for an all-important issue. How to handle pain, using the 6 D's. Deep relaxation, decatastrophsing, direction, distraction, distortion and dissociation. Each is handled as a part of self hypnosis.

The author covers of the basic knowledge of how the conscious and subconscious work together. He makes even more reassuring noises when he talks about new ways that the conscious and subconsiocus co operate with each other; find that in chapter 8. Vital in teaching how the conscious and subconscious mind operates together for healing.

Eimer has made available a book that provides all you need to know about relaxation and the importance of making comfort in the body. I enjoyed all the chapters, since they cover all the fundamentals around hypnotherapy. E.g. Not all Tools are for Everyone and the Issues of Conflict between the parts. Importantly, the author reassures his readers particularly people with a heavy reliance on medical drugs that the book does not compete with their doctor.

The chapters on how to hypnotise yourself are basically teaching the reader how to consider pain from an attitudinal point of view. He asks you to decide what attitude you will practise towards your own pain. He also asks you to consider what personal skills and internal resources you can bring forward to use to either distract or dissociate yourself, using your imagination for healing purposes.

An inspirational book for use by anyone who wants to use hypnotherapy to hypnotise themselves out of pain now. It has all the material is there, it just seems that the presentation of the text, its layout etc, sizing, spacing and size of font could be altered to provide lots of breathing space for a reader with chronic pain to imagine themselves deeply receiving the positive effects of their practical response to the exercises.

This wonderful book could be improved greatly by having much more white space throughout the text. Issues of desirability for those who have not been exposed to hypnotherapy could also be to be addressed.

The more I read the text, the more I found that the CD helped a lot to access the written material in the book. It was considerable contrast to the text in that it provided the gentle walk way into the healing process, was extremely user friendly and showed the reassuring heart of the author. It went to the heart of the matter and allowed the reader time to become acquainted with the text base elements of the book.

Again, in the gentlest way, my question is who is the book for. The book is encouraging, and opens up the possibility for pain sufferers, that pain no more may be their experience. And that they deserve that. If it is someone with pain, then for him or her, I wish the size of font was a little bigger for people with eyesight issues. I wish the density of text was a little less for people with eyesight issues or who might be intimidated with lots of words on a page. I wish a section, which actually visually shows how pain may be created. Lots more visual guidance may be needed so it moves the visual reader who also is feeling pain in the body. I offer you some guidance later about how to get the most out of the book. I am so glad that the CD is provided so that the person with pain can begin to explore the exercises he writes about so well.

Tips for Getting The Most Out Of This Book:

• A section on how to get the most out of this book. E.g. with suggestions how to read the book one a day, three times a day, am, noon, pm before bedtime. /that you may want to set yourself a simple goal of taking one or two ideas at a time and practise them.


• Asking the reader to read the sections out loud instead of reading them silently to make the book more effective.


• More reassuring Signposting Tips in boxes like: allow yourself time to work on one or two tools or approaches at a time. They already exist in the body of the text.


• Create obvious toolboxes, and advanced toolboxes to draw reader's attention towards.


• Visual illustrations throughout the text, to help people practise the visual elements of the work.


• Maybe boxed sections for research and researchers to assist hypnotherapy practitioners record their experiences with the techniques.


• A 'Just Do It' section with its activities.

I sense an authentic kindness from the author which holds the readers interests, while showing that self healing, self assessment and healing planning need no be dull, arduous, or an awesome task. Written with authentic, humane, authority. A highly recommended text when the tips are taken on board. I thank the writer for writing this work!
