Applied Hypnosis and Hyperempiria Don Gibbons

Designed as a "how-to-do-it" text for both beginning students and established professionals, the theories and techniques in Applied Hypnosis and Hyperempiria are presented in a clear and concise format. In contrast to hypnosis, hyperempiria is the groundbreaking system developed by the author, which is based on suggestions of enhanced awareness, mind expansion, and increased alertness and sensitivity. The book features both traditional hypnotic procedures and hyperempiric or a "mind-expanding" inductions. It contains sections on retrieving repressed or forgotten material, behavioral regulation and self-control, and guided fantasy techniques, as well as the use of suggestion as an instrument for personal growth in areas such as improving study skills, and taking examinations, achievement motivation, artistic expression, emotional enrichment, aesthetic appreciation and enjoyment, interpersonal effectiveness, musical performance, problem solving, public speaking, salesmanship, sports performance, theatrical performance, and writing ability. Applied Hypnosis and Hyperempiria continues to be of enormous benefit to a wide audience of both mental health professionals and the seriously curious.
