Negative Self-Hypnosis – Comparing Yourself To Others
A lovely hypnotherapist called me yesterday to ask if I would mentor him... He was in a state of despair and desperate for me to help. He qualified as a hypnotherapist less than a year ago (with another UK school I hasten to add) and attended a networking breakfast...
