Stephen Brooks and the Art of Compassionate Ericksonian Hypnotherapy: The Ericksonian Hypnosis Series Volume 1: Hypnotic Language Patterns Paperback – 14 June 2020

This is one of the books every serious practitioner of Hypnotherapy should have as a life time collection in his personal library. The author through his detailed lens analyses the work of Stephen Brook's approach to Hypnotherapy and hand holds the ardent reader to understand the nuances of Ericksonian Hypnosis.Probably this is the first therapist who has deftly married the understanding of Eastern mysticism (Buddhist compassion) with Western psychotherapeutic approaches and provides an outstanding revelation on the integrative methods and processes of diagnosis and treatment of clients with multiple psychological issues.The author, like an ardent student goes through each of the nuances from one of the lessons on Phobia taught by Stephen Brooks as a part of his course on Compassionate Ericksonian Hypnotherapy. He explains the multifaceted approach to understand the mind behind one of the ingenious and creative living therapist of our times. Stephen has an unique way of approach to therapy and his works helps us to understand the mind of Erickson and Rossi better.The language is simple and lucid for both the experienced therapist as well as the novice learner. I would highly recommend this book for every hypnotherapist and I await the publication of all future volumes dealing with Stephen's approach to Hypnotherapy.
