Today's podcast is the second in a two-part series on Clinical Hypnosis. According to the American Society for Clinical Hypnosis, hypnosis is a state of inner absorption, concentration and focused attention. Today I spoke with Dr. Elizabeth Winter about how and when to use clinical hypnosis. In the first episode, Dr. Winter and I spoke about the history of clinical hypnosis, key assumptions, goals, the client's role and types of problems that might be addressed with clinical hypnosis.
