Therapist Zeta Thomelin highlights colossal benefits of self-hypnosis
Self Help? Self Hypnosis explodes the myths surrounding self-hypnosis and provides an explanation about how hypnosis works – and how to use it for your own personal therapy.
Zeta explains that many books will spend ‘all their time showing you how to get into trance and then leave you with little help on what to do when you get there.’
Her aim is to use the book to guide you through how to use different language, ideas and stories to help change patterns and behaviours in your mind. In other words, it goes far beyond the usual simple affirmations for change.
The book consists of different sections to allow us to focus on areas of treatment, to make it easy to use and there are some sample sessions to help you understand how to create your own therapy.
Zeta’s other books have looked at how metaphors are an excellent tool to promote positive change in ourselves and how we can explore (and resolve) inherited trauma.
Zeta explains about the importance of the mind-body relationship, the power of the subconscious mind and how to harness it. She also tells us about what is a trance and how to get in and out of it.
The book is broken down into different sections to focus on areas of treatment, such as: grief, pain, anger and anxiety. It’s designed to make it easy to use and there are some sample sessions to help you understand how to create your own therapy.
