As a psychiatrist with over 40 years in practice I found reading this book to be an incredibly useful and practical way to learn more than just hypnotic techniques. Although focused on learning how to incorporate hypnosis for kids into therapy, the authors explain beautifully why and how to engage, encourage and empower anyone to have greater control over their lives.
The authors have a wonderful writing style that is conversation and fun. It is like having supervision with them as they outline what, why and how they do what they do. Although there are an abundance of step-by-step strategies. There is much more that goes to the heart of how to help people change.
“This book will show you how to creatively interact, play, teach and help kids with just about any issue that might show up in your office. You will learn the art of flexibility so you flow with the child in front of you (as opposed to the child you thought was coming in). We will make this fun for you so that you open up your practice to the people that need you the most. Every child you help is a life changed for decades to come.”
You will learn more than you ever imagined on so many levels and feel more comfortable yourself expanding and exploring new ways to help clients not only with hypnosis skills but in all aspects of the therapeutic encounter.
Disclaimer: I have worked with Melissa in several of her workshops over the years and i am prejudiced. I think she has a unique way to simplify and explain what goes on in our brains and minds as well in the interactions between us. She is gifted at not only incorporating the latest discoveries in neuroscience and cognitive psychology in her work but also explaining clearly why it works to facilitate change. And in this book she and her coauthor express clearly how these new discoveries all fit together to help you be more confident, flexible and efficient in helping people change and grow.
This book gets to the heart of working with kids (and anyone) on so many levels not just hypnosis skills. It presents thoughts about therapy in general that are incredibly useful and can help us be more effective. You will learn and grow on many levels from reading this book. I know I have.
