This book, I have to admit, for me was a real education. Although aware of Parts Therapy, it is something that I have not really looked at to any great extent. It is something that I have always thought that I would do ” tomorrow” but I have never actually come across anything which has presented it to me in a way that I could readily accept. This book was the exception to the rule.
To begin with the book is immensely readable. Yes, It contains much academic material but it is presented in a way that is a pleasure to read. I also found that after reading I could actually remember content as it had been so carefully put over to me, the reader.
I now readily acknowledge that this book is an excellent introduction for me to what is, no doubt about it, a complex and important element of the hypnotherapeutic work.
Initially I found Parts Therapy difficult to conceive. Part of me was actually fighting it and feeling ” this can't be so “. As I progressed through the book so the whole issue of Parts Therapy became more clear and understandable, even to me as very much a beginner. But I don't think that the book stops there. I think it is an equally valuable read to the experienced practitioner too through its insightful writing.
This is a book that I looked at initially and wondered whether I would actually be able to plough my way through it. As it happened it was more difficult for me to actually put it down. Its content is compelling reading
My primary purpose in devoting an entire book to parts therapy is to provide a learning tool for both the teacher and the student alike. I intend this to be a ” how to” guidebook , containing step-by-step instructions for facilitating competent, client centered parts therapy from start to finish. I'll share techniques to help the properly trained hypnotist know when to consider parts therapy for a client, as well as how to obtain good results.
While other therapists may take their clients down different paths, my own professional experience validates the benefit of following the steps described in this book
If you are not already trained in a successful variation of parts therapy, my strong recommendation is that you closely follow the discipline presented in the chapters that follow. I believe that easy reading makes the learning progress easier. It certainly does, and I feel I have started to learn many new lessons as a result of reading this book.
I recommend it to you without hesitation!
