Loved the historical perspective. I knew just a fraction of what I thought I knew. I learned a lot and didn’t realize there were so many schools of thought concerning hypnotism. I did not realize they used it during the war. Fascinating.

Absolutely can’t wait to learn anything, and everything I can about this practice. I look forward to the day that I can use this as a means to help other people overcome some of life‘s challenging obstacles. And teach people how to love themselves. Because I believe so much of societies problems are based on that belief. That it’s okay, or rather normal to hate yourself and other people.
