Another memorable client/learning experience for me that emerged from the New Age Health Spa/NYC connection involved one of my first opportunities to work with a case of warts, as well as with a pre-teen.  Warts may be the most common skin condition treated with hypnosis.

Most of today’s hypnotists primarily use spoken language to help their clients enter hypnotic trance... I propose that by staying within the limitations of our western, civilized mind-set of what a hypnotist should look or act like, we lose access to so many of the tools, attitudes, and methodologies that we can learn from the world of traditional shamanism.
