Hypnotic instructions are written hypnotically. NLP is the intertwined casually. I enjoyed this book thoroughly and would recommend it to anyone that wants to learn more about themselves.

Other than Erickson himself this is the closest I have ever seen someone come to explaining what he did., December 27, 2011

This should be the text book for Ericksonian Hypnosis. This book is amazing! Other than reading Erickson's work itself this is the closest that you will ever come to what Erickson actually did when he hypnotized people. The cooperation principle is not something that people really talk about but if you look at Erickson's work closely it was never something that he was doing to something so much as it was something he was doing with them.
I remember one well known NLP Trainer saying that when the met Milton Erickson that they could hear his embedded commands when he spoke to them and that in fact they thought that perhaps David Gordon or John Grinder were better at them than Erickson was but then they went on to say them when they heard them they could have disobeyed them but didn't want to because their rapport was so deep that they were afraid of breaking it by not carrying them out. That's the cooperation principle at it's finest.
Absolutely amazing book I would recommend it to anyone that wants to know from someone other than Erickson's work itself how he operated!

Outstanding Manual for Hypnotherapists, February 09, 2009
By D. K. Brainard (0)

Steve Gilligan is a remarkable healer (although he probably wouldn't choose that label himself) and teacher and Therapeutic Trances lays out the principles and practice of creating rapport, accepting and utilizing the patient's worldview and symptoms, and joining with the patient in order to create a hypnotic environment in which true healing can take place.
The one thing that strikes me as slightly challenging about Therapeutic Trances is the academic tone of the book. That said, this is an indispensable manual for understanding Ericksonian hypnosis from someone who started studying with Erickson at age 19.
Therapeutic Trances is not an easy read, but what you learn in the pages will probably change not only your practice but the way you see the world. A great book by a master practitioner and compassionate teacher.
