Review
"Deborah Marshall-Warren is deservedly well known in the hypnotherapy world as a prominent therapist and the author of
Mind Detox. In this book, Deborah takes us on an amazing journey through the way in which our culture uses and abuses hypnosis. From her exploration of negative images of hypnosis in literature, TV and film, we begin to realise why hypnosis has become, for the uninformed, something scary and best avoided.
But more than this, the book explores the misuses of hypnosis in our everyday life, and is a massive outcry against the TV junkie, commercial-drenched, political double-speak, computer game addicted world we have created for ourselves as our natural talent for the trance state is abused by those who want our money, our compliance, or our vote.
Above all, this book is a timely cry to take hypnotherapy seriously. Debunking the myths that surround it, it shows how hypnotherapy is a safe, natural way of engaging our natural abilities to heal, to break free, and to grow. For through hypnotherapy, the individual begins to take control of their own life and to wake up to the negative suggestions and images which surround us all.
This is the freshest book I've read on the subject - a must for every therapist, student, trainer, and anyone interested in hypnosis and modern life."

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Deborah
Marshall-Warren
is a hypnotherapist in practice in London.
Deborah's work has featured regularly
in the national press, magazines and radio.
Her passion and the extraordinary success of clients, enabling and ennobling their lives through hypnotherapy, continue to fuel her commitment to helping change the general public's perception of hypnosis and hypnotherapy as the way forward to change their mind and liberate their lives.
She frequently works together alongside highly pressurised workers, company executives and investment bankers.
Her clients come to manage stress, to prepare for interviews, to rehearse public speaking engagements, to develop more focus and concentration, and increasingly to build confidence and self-esteem in a business climate which does not afford individuals the time to step back and acknowledge their achievements before presenting the next challenge, the next deadline, the next profit margin.
The wonderful thing about hypnotherapy is that it accelerates the process of change and transformation in a person's life. It is not about going to see a therapist week after week. It is about accessing one's own inner power to change life for the better in the way a person wants. Clients are more than likely to notice some change after the first session and be on their way within five - and frequently fewer - sessions, for the process allows individuals to access their inner power to change their mind.
