My experience with hypnosis goes back quite a few years. As
an undergraduate student, I took a job working in a chiropractor's
office, and as part of my duties I was instructed to perform
progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) inductions on clients. Now, back
then I didn’t recognize PMR as an 'induction' or ascribe a 'hypnosis'
label to the process, but every day at the office I was unwittingly
hypnotizing people and giving them the skills to relax and physically
heal. Once I realized exactly what I was doing and how and why it
worked so well, I studied hypnosis extensively. I then learned to
integrate it into numerous areas of my professional work, and I utilize
it daily in my personal life.
