Ericksonian Hypnosis

Strategies for Effective Communications

By: Stephen Paul Adler PhD

Narrated by: Juanelle Louise Holl

Milton H. Erickson, the father of modern clinical hypnosis. When I trained it was so frustrating having to consult so many books in order to get a comprehensive sense of his work. After 60 years of clinical experience, I decided to write a book that contained his basic principles, presenting them in both linear and non-linear style—the way he worked, no jargon, in plain English.

The reader is so bad

The reader is so bad I can't understand more than about one word out of ten, rendering the whole book absolutely useless. After trying really hard to understand the first two chapters - thinking that by continuing I might finally be entrained enough in the cadence to start understanding her - I am going to just purge it from my device as a complete waste of money. This is pretty ironic given the title of the book. Rule number one in effective communications: don't talk like your mouth is full of cotton. I am very disappointed because I read a lot of Ericksons original writings and was really looking forward to this study.

Narrator is awful

Why do they keep hiring narrators that you cannot understand. Total waste of money! How to I get my money back!

Couldn't stop listening!

I wish I had this in written form to save and savor. I had to take notes so as not to lose any tiny morsal.. loved the quotes and stories. inspired me to listen to and read more of Erickson.
