Close Your Eyes, Get Free: Use Self-Hypnosis to Reduce Stress, Quit Bad Habits, and Achieve Greater Relaxation and Focus

Close Your Eyes, Get Free shares the practical advice and exercises that Grace Smith uses to great success in her private practice. No, you won't be learning how to hypnotize your friends to make them squawk like a chicken-but you will learn basic self-hypnosis strategies for everything from reducing stress (think of those hot-button moments every day at work), diminishing anxiety (getting ready for a big presentation? Brief exercises will help you get calm), and finally overcoming those pesky bad habits. Close Your Eyes, Get Free offers an overview of the techniques of self-hypnosis, along with the "big picture": how we developed our nasty habits (aka: who brainwashed you and how); how to reprogram our subconscious minds (aka: how to brainwash yourself . . . it's fun!); how to boost your self-esteem by using what advertising companies have known for years (rather than strip it away so you'll buy unnecessary stuff); and a multitude of life-altering, mood-enhancing stories of redemption that will spur you on in your own life.
