At last, the missing piece of the dysfunctional puzzle. It is not enough to understand or even relive our childhood traumas. Dr. Wolinsky shows us how we continue to recreate those traumas in our adult lives and how to stop creating them. Every uncomfortable emotional state, and many psychosomatic symptoms, are also states of trance. Trance is the "glue" that holds the problem in the present moment. Learning to identify the kind of trance state beneath a problem or symptom gives us the tool that finally dissolves the glue. This book offers a gold-mine of resources for those who suffer from dysfunctional patterns of behavior or for anyone who feels stuck in an undesirable emotional or addictive state. Learning to step out of the trance states that create our problems and symptoms is to learn to step into the present moment at last free of the baggage from our past.… (more)

Here's a good book that describes how hypnosis can be used for psychotherapy. I found it quite interesting for the references to Milton H. Ericson's methods and how Wolinsky modified some of them for his work. ( )

This is a very solid little book on the trances people live and I enjoyed reading it. I know it has to be a re-read in the future though because I went into the wrong type of trance. I also feel this would be better to experience if you are teamed up with another hypnotist then you can perform the exercises on each other. I find them harder to do in self hypnosis. ( )
