A Guide to Trance Land

A friendly and brief guide to the essentials of hypnosis.

Hypnosis can teach us many things about how the human mind, perceptions and emotions function. It can also show how to help people shift those perceptions, mental processes, and emotions to resolve problems. Recent discoveries in neuroscience have pointed to the amazing plasticity of the brain and the mutability of habits, lending new interest to these age-old techniques.

While hypnosis is an endless subject, it can also be distilled down into some clear and simple principles. This book is the result of Bill O’Hanlon’s many years of teaching professionals how to compellingly invite their clients into trance and to help those clients reduce or eliminate the suffering that brought them to seek help. The third in the guidebook series (after A Guide to Possibility Land and A Guide to Inclusive Therapy), this is a brief, accessible, and fun guide to the essential points of a big therapeutic topic. Written with Bill O’Hanlon’s signature wit and style, this book is essential reading for all fans of O’Hanlon and anyone interested in hypnosis.
