'Written in a comprehensive yet simple and accessible manner, Hypnotherapy with Regrets and Associated Emotions: Ideas for Practice is a highly applicable, generalisable and useful text. The content is excellent and very thorough and well written. It contains a useful chapter explaining how to use the diverse ideas for working with both children and adults, and a very large range of type or regrets covering all areas. The scripts themselves are thorough and well written and provoke other ideas in the reader. There is a wide and varied theme for the scripts providing something suitable for every client and their style/interests. Most significantly, I like the encouragement for practitioners to apply some of the book to themselves through self-reflection. I certainly intend to use and suggest that any hypnotherapists that I train purchase this unique book.'
