Lindsay A. Brady

As a professional hypnotist since 1970, Lindsay Brady, Certified Hypnotherapist, has conducted sessions with more than 30,000 clients in a clinical setting and has hypnotized thousands more during demonstrations, stage-show performances and lectures.

Recognized as a leading clinical hypnotherapist, Lindsay's reputation has attracted clients throughout the United States and internationally.

This book is not only a book about hypnosis, but a memoir about how the author, Lindsay Brady transformed his life from one of fear, low self-esteem, guilt and self-doubt into one of confidence, joy and peace of mind by using the process that is called self-hypnosis. It is a story about his personal crusade to overcome the manacles of tradition, bigotry, closed-mindedness and self-imposed limitation that eventually led to being at peace and pleased with who he is.

It is a tale of becoming a hypnotherapist and developing a unique approach to effectively help his clients rid themselves of unwanted habits and self-destructive behavior. It is a book that tells stories about the lessons learned from thousands of clients that, in turn, compelled him to scrap obsolete terms, techniques, methods and even many of his most cherished concepts in his quest to develop a powerful method to effectively help his clients to easily achieve their goals, engage in healthy behavior, be free from guilt and find happiness and peace of mind. It is a story about solving the puzzle of how to demonstrate the means the human mind, brain and body communicate with each other. It explains how human consciousness can intentionally instruct its brain to bring about healthy behavior and create an emotional state of well-being that is independent of past experiences, present conditions and the uncertainty of the future. And it is a story that validates the power and the dynamics of taking charge of NOW.

This book is a treatise intended to dispel outmoded ideas about hypnosis as being something a person goes into or under, or that it is a trance in which a person is unaware. It tells the story of how the vague, stale term, hypnotism (which implies nothing about a process), is transformed into the definitive dynamic term, "perceptionism"… the driving force behind the hypnotic process and human behavior.
