and naturally occurs in all human beings. guiding this process for clinical therapeutic outcome
is a professional skill and art that i have been doing for over 30 years!

they are sleep, clinical hypnosis is not a sleep state, and the client easily returns to
their normal state of consciousness at the end of the session.

a behavioral intervention that helps clients naturally enhance the physiological processes
that enhance health and minimize negative processes in the mind/body systems

almost all memories from one's past are re accessible with hypnotic processes.
past lives can be "re-imagined",,,, and their interpretation is open to the clients preferences

movie was fiction, and no one can be ordered to do something against their belief system
in hypnosis effectively.

hypnotic talent can be used to relax one's mind, one's body, and increase one's sense of
meaning and purpose and direction.
