Product reviews for Hypnotize Yourself Out of Pain Now! Second Edition
Reviewed by Brigid Breckman, freelance workshop leader, writer and counsellor, Nursing Standard, Vol 25 - No 47, July 27
This exceptional book and CD comprehensively describe ways that self-hypnosis can aid pain management. Readers are encouraged to identify hypnotic pain management strategies that will best meet their needs, and use them skilfully. This helps reduce the powerlessness reported by many people with ongoing pain.
There is basic information about pain, hypnosis and exercises to help readers assess their pain and levels of coping. Part two includes learning self-hypnosis, self-hypnotic coping strategies and ways to change the pain experience.
The material is ordered in a way that readers can build on their knowledge and develop coping strategies. The book offers a range of hypnotic and pain management approaches. Management of inner conflicts and ongoing pain are particularly well covered. The CD offers additional pointers and exercises.
Regrettably, the information on selecting practitioners almost exclusively cites American sources.
