Review by:
Dr Kenneth Kern, MD., California, USA.
I have nearly 1,000 hours of training in clinical and stage hypnosis (I am a medical doctor, former cancer surgeon, and now a cancer researcher) from all sorts of people, including the inheritors of Gil Boyne’s group (ACHE), and the National Guild of Hypnotists, along with many other American clinical hypnotherapists; and in stage hypnosis in England (while on business trips) from Jonathan Chase and Anthony Jacquin. In the US I’ve trained with Terry Stokes and Michael Johns (I worked on stage with them 16 times as a training course) in Las Vegas, and many other American stage hypnotists. I’ve also trained in forensic hypnosis from the East Texas Police Academy (5 days!), past life regression (Dick Sutphen), and many other “specialty” forms of hypnosis.
I say all of this not to brag, but to state with conviction that not once in that 1,000 hours has anyone come close to explaining hypnosis, or the laws of hypnosis, as eloquently and truthfully as you do–as the power of suggestion, plain and simple.
