Summary Introduction

Introduction

Hypnosis is no longer about hocus pocus, animal magnetism, or the concept of mind control, as people believed many years ago. Rather, it is about the hypnotist using the power of suggestibility to engender positive thoughts and changes to the person being hypnotized. It has been used quite successfully in the last couple of decades to help people break a variety of bad habits, as well as to confront many troubling issues from childhood. In order to be successfully hypnotized, one must first be suggestible.
