Edgar A. Barnett M.D. gives us a practical approach to hypnotherapy. Think about the things in your life that hold you back or seem to cause you problems. Are you trapped in an inner prison? You now have Dr. Barnett's wisdom to learn to turn the key and free yourself.
Dr. Barnett's book is fairly short and easy to read. It contains an excellent explanation of the root causes of emotional (and many physical) problems, using a Transactional Analysis model. By using hypnosis to get at these root causes, he has been able to free many patients from depression, addictions, obesity, and psychosomatic medical disorders. It was particularly useful for me that he has the credentials of having been a family practitioner for many years prior to entering the full time practice of hypnosis. Many books on hypnosis aim to clear up emotional disturbances by using more superficial means, such as direct suggestion. Barnett does regression therapy to truly get at the root cause of the problem, and cure it. He makes an excellent point that it is not our negative emotions which cause us problems, but our resistance to feeling the truth of our emotions that is the REAL cause of stress and unhappiness. A must read for all serious hypnosis practitioners.
