"Bart Walsh has written an excellent primer on modern therapeutic hypnosis that can inform the general public as well as professional psychotherapists, counselors and coaches of all schools oriented to facilitating creative consciousness and cognition. His case histories and practical approaches to optimizing human performance and stress symptoms resolution are down to earth and free of clinical jargon. He has a clear, compassionate, empathetic way of being and believing in the best of human potentials consistent with the best of current neuroscience research." Ernest Rossi, PhD Author of The Psychobiology of Gene Expression, The Psychobiology of Mind-Body Healing and much more."Within this text lies a simple means of navigating and managing emotional experience. The interventions present a systemic approach derived from hypnotic protocols and the burgeoning field of epigenetics. The author recognizes that the inner mechanics and the theory supporting his methods are complex and subject to further scientific scrutiny. Yet, they clearly outline a methodology which will be easily assimilated by intermediate and advanced therapist and, especially, those with training and expertise in hypnosis. Health care professionals wanting to expand an individualized and brief approach to helping clients manage their emotional experience should study this book."
