It’s been a while since I posted about Clinical Hypnotherapy (CH) as not only a vehicle for mental health treatment but, also as a powerful adjunct therapy for many other conditions…including cancer. I’ve had several inquiries this week about the efficacy of CH as an aid in overcoming some of the more unpleasant side-effects of [...]

Thanks for coming back. Sorry that we’ve been silent for so long, but our website got hacked and we wanted to make absolutely sure that it was safe before we came back online.
