This book Explains what self-hypnosis and hypnosis in general is about and how to do it. It is layed out very well and easy to understand. The Writers Provide instructions for applying the method to many different problems. I bought it for stress and found I also used the anxiety and the teethgrinding instructions with good results, and my wife used the pain control part for a low back pain flares up occasionally did. I've loaned my copy to several friends over the past year who've gotten very good results. There's a lot in the bood for the money. --GP Minneapolis
