This class has helped me. The group hypno Cheryl does in the beginning of each class helped me come up with my own "stuff" to work on and is wonderfully demonstrated so we can use on our own clients as well. It helps to really dive into different theories and how we can use various techniques when interviewing our clients to get the most out of a session. I'm also grateful E&P was discussed a little more further. Great class!
