Hypnotherapist?

Scripts, technique notes and training are on the other side of the site — the Milton-model language patterns, what happens in the room, and a directory of over a thousand scripts.

The practitioner section

Imagine you are relaxed and stress free. Your mind clear of any worries about the future and you are physically in the best shape you can be. You are sitting at a table on a restaurant terrace that looks out over the ocean. You take a few deep breaths and enjoy the moment. You can smell the sea and feel the warmth of the sun.

The site's opening words since 2006Every version of Hypnosis & Health has begun with this paragraph. It is still the best short answer to what hypnosis is for.
