* Do you find that you are easily afflicted by anxiety, fear and stress?
* Do you find that you are unable to think logically when you are anxious, fearful and stressed?
* Do you find that you are being controlled by these symptoms of anxiety, fear and stress rather than being in control of them?
* Do you suffer from panic attacks when moments of anxiety, fear and stress become excessive?
* Do you have a phobia related to your unconscious fears?
* Do your suffer from exam stress, anxiety and fear?
It happens to all of us at some times in our lives, but why is it that some of us are better at coping with these debilitating symptoms of anxiety, fear and stress than others?
This book sets out in a concise, clear and logical sequence various hypnotic and relaxation techniques for you to practise to help you regain control of these symptoms. Bringing about a lasting therapeutic change within yourself. You no longer have to put up with these negative symptoms of fear, anxiety and stress.
You don't have to be suffering from these symptoms to benefit from the wisdom contained in this little book. Read and practise the knowledge contained within - see and experience the progressive change it makes to your life!
No attempt has been made, for the sake of clarity, to discuss in any detail the ideas and theories of hypnotherapy, hypnosis, and relaxation proposed in the book. Nor has an attempt been made to clarify controversial points that may have inadvertently been raised relating to trance. The purpose has been simply to put your needs first and to quickly introduce the reader to self-management techniques used world-wide by those practising hypnotherapy /trance in their clinical sessions.
It is hoped, although it was not my main aim, that therapists of various persuasions and different schools of thought within hypnotherapy will also find Section II of the book - Management Techniques - useful, easy and a practical guide to offer their clients. The format that has been adopted is such that it can easily be amended and modified to suit your needs and, additionally, the therapist's particular theoretical persuasion.
Although no book on this subject matter can meet all your needs, it is hoped it will provide a better understanding of your own symptoms (be they stress, anxiety, fear, panic attacks or some phobic response) and deliver a large armamentarium of various hypnotic/trance relaxation techniques to use when you require them, eg.when taking exams or a driving test. Those who wish to acquire a more detailed academic knowledge of this subject area are requested to refer to the many textbooks and journals of psychology and psychotherapy devoted to the fields of: hypnosis, hypnotherapy, trance work, mental and bodily relaxation, phobia & fear treatments, stress & anxiety management, and the list goes on.
I sincerely hope by reading this book you shall journey deep into your own unique inner unconscious awareness, and become confident and calm in all your humble endeavours. And that stress, fear, anxiety and phobias will be become a thing of the past. Or, at least, greatly reduced. What now follows is a brief account of what other people thought of my book: 'Self-hypnosis in the Management of Stress & Anxiety'.

'Self-hypnosis in the Management of Stress and Anxiety, 21 Jan 2003
Reviewer: James Winterbottom (United Kingdom, Manchester)
A very nice little book that is easy to read and understand. It's not academically challenging, but focuses on the real needs of the individual person. The first part of the book (question and answer session) is to the point and interesting to read. It maintains your interest in the subject. The second part on techniques is a little more technical and demanding that requires active participation by the reader. The information throughout is well structured and to the point. The author doesn't waste any words on artificial padding of the material. A very good book with nice cartoon illustrations! I liked it very much and will recommend it to my friends should they need to de-stress!!!! Would have preferred it to be a little cheaper!
'Self-hypnosis in the Management of Stress and Anxiety', 22 Dec 2002
Reviewer: Faras Caan (London)(UK)
I found the book straight to the point. I was surprised how manual like it was - which I really appreciated. (The front cover was the main initial reason why I purchased the book. It was so different and clinical.) It would be ideal for those people who don't have the time of day to be reading dense books on the psychology of well-being. It was refreshing to read - especially with the cartoons lightly dispersed throughout the book. It may have been a good idea to have a small section in the appendix dealing with some alternative medical remedies dealing with stress and anxiety - so as to enhance the holistic appeal of the book that the author was trying to get across. Also, another section on advanced meditative techniques, would have increased its readership appeal -esp. incorporating eastern philosophies. But in general, it was an enjoyable book to read - the Penguin size of the book further enhanced its practical qualities of carrying it around as and when required, and making the reading experience more enjoyable in your own spare time - in my case, on my train journeys!!!
