“A patient comes to you because he can’t do the things he thinks he should be able do. The hypnotherapist is helping the patient transcend their learned limitations in order to realize their potentials.
That is the only legitimate basis of prestige. We naturally confer prestige on those who help us transcend our own limitations.
Magic is essentially understanding how the mind works and facilitating its potential is white magic; using that understanding for harmful intent is black magic.”
I realize from her questions I hear from people just how often hypnosis is so misunderstood. It seems to me that it’s all about helping. Transcending our own limitations is about beneficial new patterns of thoughts and actions. The goal is positive thoughts and desires.
