Get the New highly acclaimed book by CCTS Directors, Tom Barber & Sandra Westland - Thinking Therapeutically: Hypnotic Skills & Strategies Explored.

 

Thinking Therapeutically

Find out how Cognitive Behavioural Hypnosis & NLP, Imagery, Analytical Hypnotherapy, Regression and Parts therapy work in actual sessions of therapy, with a rare analysis of how each session unfolded and increase your insight, awareness and confidence when working with clients! 

"The authors of this book have provided exceptional insights into the field of hypnosis and hypnotherapy. Replete with information on a wide variety of theories, strategies and techniques, for me, I think that the most salient part of this book is the expert analyses of therapy sessions. This is a truly honest account of how therapy really works, as well as what doesn't work. Whilst newly qualified therapists will find this incredibly valuable, it would be true to say that no matter how experienced you are, this book is essential reading." - by Terri Bodell, Deputy Chair, National Association of Counsellors, Hypnotherapists and Psychotherapists'.
