The purpose of this book is to carefully explain to therapists, who may have little or no experience with hypnosis, a simple therapeutic solution to anxiety and panic that often cures patients. My method works by addressing the answer to HOW we become anxious (the mechanisms that always exist) and not WHY we become anxious or WHAT makes us anxious. It is different than other methods because it essentially forgoes much if any history taking, which many patients enjoy as it so unexpected and different from any other therapists before. It focuses on the patient feeling understood rather than heard. Using this unorthodox method can transform your practice by quickly curing and relieving anxiety and panic in many patients.
The book begins on the opening page with a joke but the joke is a powerful metaphor for my philosophical approach to therapy. The book conveys the cadence and rhythm for delivery and the precise words and meticulous reasons for my words. This book lets you understand the importance of precise language in order to generate hope and expectancy from the very first moments to ensure that the patient returns.
