Product Description
Product Description
Written by Trevor Silvester, the Editor of Hypnotherapy Journal for 9 years and Director of the Quest institute, this new book defines an exciting new approach to the field of therapy and counselling. Cognitive Hypnotherapy is a model that can be used to create a unique treatment plan for each client, using techniques drawn from any school of thought, integrated into a single model that uses the clients own mind to solve their own problems. The book describes a theory of mind that explains why we do the things that limit our lives, and why we can take control and change ourselves. It then explains how by weaving a comprehensive selection of interventions into a creative model that assists therapists in making the most appropriate choices, all of which make it essential reading for anyone working in this field. The key readership is likely to be practising hypnotherapists, counsellors and psychotherapists, although anybody interested in the field will find this a fascinating read.

Trevor Silvester is an amazing author because it feels as if you're in conversation with him. I knew that before I started reading the book because having read the Acknowledgements at the beginning, I could see just what a lovely man he is. He is humorous, honest, respectful and has real love for his friends, family and even his dog!
Picking up the book, I was first interested to find that I love the way it feels. Its weight, size even down to the font just captured my attention. I love the layout and felt that the boxes with highlighted key points, occasional symbols and drawings just helped to keep me keep engaged and in conversation with the author throughout.
So onto the important part - the content. Part one examines our reality - and we all have one - but it's all made up! Trevor describes how we create our own reality using our memoragination (I love that term). It's a brilliant concept and had me going `ah-ha' throughout. I feel that everyone can get something from reading part one of this book.
Part two is directed more towards practicing therapists who can build on Trevor's philosophy to help them add more tools to their toolbox. What great questions to keep in mind when working with clients: 'What's That About and How Can I Use It?' However there is much enlightening information here that could be useful to non-therapists who are interested in their own self-awareness and personal development.
A great read, well written, easy to understand, humorous and full of `ah-ha' moments. A book which has changed me quite profoundly on a personal level.

Having thoroughly enjoyed Trevor Silvester's WordWeaving series of books, I was keen to get my grubby hands on his latest offering, 'Cognitive Hypnotherapy' - especially as it's been 4 years in the making.
Thankfully, one of the perks of being Editor of the NCH Hypnotherapy Journal means that I'm sometimes lucky enough to get a sneaky peak before everyone else, and so it was that I found myself immersed in the typesetter's copy of the manuscript one sunny afternoon in September, some 3 months before publication. A rare treat indeed!
There is no doubt that this is an ambitious book - 'Cognitive Hypnotherapy' sets out a comprehensive framework for understanding ourselves and our lives, and a way for therapists of all backgrounds to better tailor their treatments to their clients.
It has, at its core, a simple premise - that people are either engaged in 'growth', which empowers and enriches life, or in 'protection', which shuts down our creative abilities and choices in favour of survival.
As I read the book, which draws on a vast array of sources - from Bruce Lipton to Bruce Lee - I started to get a sense of why it has been so long in the making. This is no compendium of techniques, it's a fully thought out philosophy of therapy which embraces 'what works' from many disciplines and seeks to understand it within the Cognitive Hypnotherapy framework.
As the author notes, "[Cognitive Hypnotherapy] is not a 'style' of therapy, more a style of thinking to guide therapy".
In many respects, Cognitive Hypnotherapy is like an evolution of NLP - NLP models excellence to create interventions that work, and Cognitive Hypnotherapy takes interventions that work and seeks to understand the principles of mind which underpin their efficacy so the therapist is better equipped to respond fluidly to the needs of the client.
Reading this book was a real pleasure and I felt a genuine excitement - as if my subconscious mind were recognising some lost ancient wisdom in the message - and I found page after page of value, both as a therapist as well as personally.
Trevor's passion and knowledge shine through every page of this marvellous book, and whether you are a therapist or someone looking to help yourself, the message will touch your life profoundly.

I have read self-help books and technical books on therapies since I was about 18. There are a few that stand out and I have kept them all these years, now dog-eared on my shelf. And it'll be a long time before I pick them up again, if ever.
If you are interested in therapy as a profession, if you are already practising or if you just want to understand why you respond the way you do to certain situations, this book is like a Haynes Manual to the human brain.
Layout - is clear, concise and appealing even to those like me who prefer visual impact. Helpful boxes that shout out key points draw the eye, so if you just want a five minute top up of pleasurable reading, you can open anywhere in the book and have a lightbulb moment.
Technical Support - if instead, you prefer lots of technical data designed to convince even the most hardened sceptic, it's all there.
Personal - for those like me who want to get closer to understanding who the writer is, Trevor Silvester's personality and approachability shine through.
I was surprised how big the book is when it arrived from Amazon. It feels weighty, chunky and solid, yet with a soft back cover, that makes it easy to carry around.
But most of all, it is absolutely packed with brilliant information about Cognitive Hypnotherapy, how it is a framework which can flex and bend to incorporate any other useful therapy method so that it can be used to help any client deal with their expression of their problem, rather than the label given to it. This book offers a vision for a future when therapy belongs to everyone as a set of tools that we can either do alone or ask for help with.
It's like the Apple that makes the PC look boring - suddenly the pompous image of a therapist looking down on their client and making a judgement on what their problem is - and dare I say it, pre-written books with hypnotic scripts - look really outdated.
A brilliant book - miss it and miss out.
