I borrowed this book from a library for years, and once I moved I had to have it. It has so many great ideas and ways to visualize your future. It has helped me beyond measure.

Not the usual self-help fare

This is an excellent resource for learning self-hynosis and for persons struggling with dissociation. It is clear, well organized and the hypnotic inductions can be modified/customized to work best for you. The goal is on better functioning and empowerment rather than just labeling. She takes rather complex psychological theory and makes it accessible and useable for a non-professional audience.
