Of course, the benefits of hypnosis can also be applied internally, as in self-hypnosis, which Benton and Padamsee assert is easy to do after some practice.
So if, like Peter Gibbons, you’ve got a nasty case of the office-life blues, it seems you really can head over to Benton’s certification course. You won’t be able to put yourself into a state of permanent relaxation, you may not get a promotion, and he can’t promise you’ll find the girl of your dreams, but you likely will tame your hatred and fear of those damn TPS reports.
Tuition for Winchester Hospital’s Hypnothearpy Certification Program is $1600. For additional information, contact the Winchester Hospital Community Health Institute at 781.756.4700. As soon as she snaps out of it, Neely Steinberg can be reached at csteinberg@babson.edu.
