Q. What is the relationship between hypnosis and self-improvement?
A. Hypnosis is used by many different forms of therapy. Self-hypnosis
is also possible and many people report positive experiences
with hypnosis. This topic is not often discussed in much detail
in alt.self-improve.
Hypnosis can be used in many ways for self-improvement. It can
allow the mind to utilize its resources in new ways and to change
behavior and create new desired behaviors.
Q. How do I learn more about hypnosis?
A. Read the newsgroup alt.hypnosis, which has a very good FAQ. There
is a World Wide Web site describing hypnosis training by Tad James
as well (See Appendix A). Tad has recently been elected President
of the American Board of Hypnotherapy (ABH). NLP also utilizes
hypnosis in various ways. An excellent book on hypnosis is
"Trace-formations" by John Grinder and Richard Bandler.
