I found it an interesting review of the evolution of the practice of mentally suggestive therapeutics. I am not sure if I can attend the paid courses, as my financial state is quite awful to put it gently. I do however appreciate the lesson I've been afforded today. Thank you for the slight enlightenment.

It is interesting to understand the historical arc of receptivity and credibility by the broader medical establishment. It isn’t easy being ahead of the pack. “First they ignore you. Then they ridicule you. And then they attack you and want to burn you. And then they build monuments to you.”
