Product reviews for Mastering the Power of Self-Hypnosis
Judith E. Pearson, Ph.D.
Roy Hunter is well-known in hypnotherapy circles. He is a widely-read author and sought-after speaker who diligently continues the work and teaching of the late Charles Tebbetts, considered by many to be a grand master of hypnotherapy. Hunter is also a practicing hypnotherapist who, since 1987, has taught Diversified Client-Centered Hypnosis at Tacoma Community College in Washington. His books are required reading at schools of hypnosis around the world. He was inducted into the International Hypnosis Hall of Fame in 2000 and has received honors from national and international hypnotherapy organizations. With Crown House Publishing, he has recently released new editions of The Art of Hypnosis, The Art of Hypnotherapy, and Mastering the Power of Self-Hypnosis. Together, these three volumes form a comprehensive home-study course on hypnosis for both professional hypnotherapists and lay readers.
The third book in the trilogy, Mastering the Power of Self-Hypnosis, is an instruction manual for real and lasting behavioral change, through reprogramming the subconscious mind for health and personal success. Hunter teaches readers how to enter trance and how to create change via the “gateways” of the subconscious mind.
Hunter tells us that habits, both good and bad, are formed when the subconscious accepts a powerful belief. Such beliefs enter the subconscious through five gateways: repetition, authority, identity, hypnosis, and emotion. Hunter describes how to combine these gateways into a compelling package called a “motivation map” that makes change nearly inevitable. Hunter also teaches the mental tools that make self-hypnosis effective: induction, affirmations linked to key words, relaxation, mental rehearsal, visualization, and positive emotions.
Hunter tells readers how to formulate and prioritize goals, and then how to use self-hypnosis to identify and release self-imposed obstacles, visualize the benefits of accomplishment, activate positive emotions, and mentally rehearse the actions needed. The applications in this book include stress management, smoking cessation, weight reduction, sales motivation, improved job performance, and sports enhancement.
The CD that accompanies the book features two hypnotic sessions with Hunter. One is a stress management session for coping with “people who push your buttons.” The other is a deep relaxation training session in which the listener envisions a peaceful place of rest and tranquility-
The three books are thorough and well-written in straightforward, easy-to-understand language. Case examples bring home the major points quite well.
The three-volume set is an excellent starting place for beginners and a good review for experienced professionals.
