In this hardback edition of the original paperback, a hypnotherapist explains how subconscious resistance to changing old habits can be overcome through self-hypnosis. Following an overview of the concepts, pioneers, and current legal status of hypnosis, Hunter presents a progressive relaxation exercise to self-induce the hypnotic state. The guide includes exercises for goal-setting and motivation mapping for quitting smoking, weight management, and stress management; tips for success; answers to frequently asked questions; a glossary; and companion audio CD on managing stress.
