The Ultimate Hypnosis Library

Hypnosis can be a very powerful method for personal change and growth. You can learn to control your beliefs, bodily functions and unwanted behaviors. You can even learn to create behaviors and capabilities that you never thought possible.

Not only do many hypnotists lack the deep and thorough education necessary to help you in a professional capacity, but they may also employ what The Hypnosis Network calls the "Cult of Personality" to gain your confidence.

These individuals create a voice and personality that they hope leaves you feeling that they are all-knowing gurus...continue reading »

Felix, Fritz, Garfield and Morris. To this list of well-known cats I can add my own, Dr. Zoe D. Katze, Ph.D., C.Ht., DAPA.
