WHOLE-BEING HYPNOTHERAPY: LINKS

Deborah Marshall-Warren has had an online presence at www.ursasoft.com/hypno (now mapped from www.marshall-warren.com) since she first started her practice in 1995. During this time, the number of other web sites relating to hypnotherapy has increased greatly, as indeed has the whole internet. It would now be a full-time job to monitor and catalogue the whole field of hypnotherapy on the internet - even in the UK. So, this is a tiny sample of pointers to what is now online. (By the way, these links are provided purely for your background information. They do not constitute endorsements of the sites they point to.) See also the web rings page.

Hawaii, USA

The Inside Story
Janis Persons CHT, BSW, AI, is a hypnotherapist, and trainer in hypnotherapy. She also works in astrology. Janis describes her method as 'alchemical hypnotherapy', and she combines the humanistic and spiritual perspective of the alchemical process with the goal-reaching methods of hypnotherapy. The process draws upon Jungian psychology, Eriksonian Hypnosis techniques, NLP, and Gestalt therapy in combination with the powerful tool of hypnosis. The alchemical process helps to identify and accept different and often opposing personalities such as the 'inner judge' and the 'inner child'. Alchemy resolves conflicts between these inner characters or 'subpersonalities' by connecting one to guidance from one's own higher self. This insures that the suggestions a client receives spring from his or her own inner guidance. As a result, suggestions are more individual and less likely to be met with resistance than in other forms of hypnotherapy.
