Information to the heart of hypnosis

Kissing Frogs easily is one of the best books on the subject of hypnotherapy available on the market today! Chaplain Durbin's writing style is informative and easy to understand. This book covers the major issues which hypnotherapists frequently work with in a straight forward and practical way that includes real examples to aid in understanding. Before I was even half way finished with the book I found myself recommending it to several colleagues for their library. A must read for all practicing hypnotherapists and those learning hypnotherapy!

4 Words:Educational, Informative, Entertaining, & Inspiring!

This book was recommended to me, and now, I recommend it to YOU. If anyone wants an objective approach and exhaustive resource to/for hypnotherapy - Here it is! Dr. Durbin is a wordsmith as he deliberates on this pertinent subject matter. Cast your preconceptions away and allow yourself insight into a subject too often layered with misconceptions. Dutifully and honestly, Dr. Durbin strips away the misinformation and escorts the reader into a face-to-face understanding of hypnotherapy, his obvious labor of love . . . and mine too. Thank you, Dr. Durbin.

Enlightening and Comprehensive. Great for all levels.

Chaplain Durbin's book concisely bridges the gap between ignorance and proof of God's miracles. Read on page 88 where it is states when the catholic church issued statements approving of the use of hypnosis. Additionally, on page 199 one can read about how a doctor was assisted by Chaplain Durbin to halt bleeding that could not be stopped. As an experienced hypnotist I found this book to provide excellent information. This book can be used by anyone who desires change in their life.

Kissing Frogs is a brilliant introduction to hypnosis!

Paul Durbin is an experienced hypnotherapist and pastor. His book captures the key elements of hypnosis and presents a simple method for the reader to use hypnosis for his/her own personal growth. His love for people comes through and the techniques he teaches you will last you a lifetime. I heartily recommend this book!

This book shares the wisdom of practical experience!

I highly recommend this book for anyone engaged in the professional practice of hypnotherapy, whether as a full-time profession or as an adjunct to a counseling practice. I also recommend this to anyone of the cloth, as Dr. Durbin has successfully blended hypnotherapy with pastoral counseling. Additionally, the author's background as a minister should encourage any Christian having conflicts about whether to consider either experiencing hypnotherapy or learning the art as a part of his/her profession. The fact that I teach hypnosis in a college should add credibility to my recommendation of Dr. Durbin's fine work.
