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

This book is a great text. Having read it, I have started recommending it students I teach on the BSc (Hons) in Clinical Hypnosis. Eimer's ease in explaining the context regarding types of pain, the physiology of pain, pain and neurology, the pain gate control theory, before then explaining the neurology of how hypnosis can reduce chronic pain is of real value. His writing is underpinned by sound ethics and he also discusses how to evaluate pain and how to evaluate coping strategies. From a practical perspective the basic information about hypnosis, self-hypnosis and the development of pain management skills include behavioral coping strategies, cognitive interventions, and relaxation methods. Accompanied by a companion CD it is an excellent reference for hypnotherapists and psychologists who work with pain management.
