Essential Healing: Hypnotherapy and Regression-Based Practices to Release the Emotional Pain and Trauma Keeping You Stuck

There's truly not enough good things I can say about this book. If you take the time to dive into the exercises detailed throughout this book, I would say its next to impossible to walk away feeling like you've gained nothing. The book offers too much to those struggling in life. Whether it's emotional, physical, or spiritual. It's all connected.. I started reading this book a few weeks before I actually met Paul. He's as legit as they come, a person that wants nothing more than to help others.I'm an officer, so I'm well aware of a certain skepticism that arises when involving metaphysical topics and ideas. What i can tell you is this worked for me, dealing with multiple problems I had, had.If you're in pain, have trauma from your past, or simply want to dive deeper into yourself finding out who you really are, this book will help.Paul is a great man, this book deserves way more attention because of what it could do for all of us!

I’ve worked with Paul for a number of years and, after reading and using his book, highly recommend it as a personal and professional resource. Paul has masterfully synthesized his years of healing service into simple yet profound processes that are accessible and beneficial to both hypnotherapists and lay people. As a hypnotherapist, I’ve used processes from this book for myself and clients with good results. An essential book to add to your hypnotherapy and self-care resources.

This book packs a big punch!Every chapter is filled with wisdom, compassion, tools and techniches culled from decades of Paul's experience with this work.I have been a student of Paul's since 2016, and this book, while just barely scratching the surface of his storehouse of knowledge and skills, is a treasure trove that will leave you wanting to read anything Paul writes... And I do hope he plans to write more!This book will guide you through the process of getting out of your head, into your heart, journeying through worlds beyond, and into the light of healing.The kind of book you will read many times and gain new insights with each go over. An essential book for any healer.Thank you Paul!

Paul has incorporated many years of learning and teaching into this volume that is long overdue. Everyone is different and some find one process or technique works for them, while others find they need something different.Essential Healing includes many different ways to reach your goal of living a more positive and healthy life. While you can learn a great deal from this book, Paul's live training classes, both in person and online, provide additional depth, knowledge and understanding that expands on what is presented in this book thru interaction between the instructor and the other students.

This book has shown me another way to heal from the trauma of my past. So many other books on this topic recommend healing approaches that retraumatized me, but I started seeing a way to learn to be present, let go, and move forward with my life. So good.

A truly precious tome - I will keep referring back to it for the rest out my life.Definitely one to keep in your collection.

Paul Aurand distills his decades of experience as a master hypnotherapist in regression-based practices into a user-friendly guide of both theory and effective exercises that yield remarkable healing. He begins with his compelling story of being struck by lightning and having a near-death experience that sets the tone for his personal knowledge about the journey from trauma to profound healing. He then lays out his perspective of the layers of self that need to be worked with to achieve healing and wholeness. As a psychotherapist I found his section on emotions and survival strategies to be spot on as he leads the reader beyond one's thinking mind and through a series of emotional release practices that skillfully navigate around our natural egoic defenses. Much has been written in the psychological literature about the need to heal the wounded inner child and integrate the many disparate sub-selves or "parts' of self. Here again, Paul strikes the balance between theory and practice by providing clear and accessible descriptions of these often complex concepts and then offers simple but penetrating exercises to engage the reader in healing. I found his section on accessing one's inner wisdom to be empowering and liberating. Once again the mix of conceptual understanding and experiential exercises provided the right frame to go deep and connect with the wise one within. He wraps up the book with sage insights about soul essence and guidance on how to connect and work with guides. I appreciated his sprinkling of client case studies throughout the text as it invited me as the reader into his clinical office where he thoughtfully introduces his clients, offers his assessment, then walks the reader through the session that unfolds a rather miraculous healing process. This book can be used in a lot of different ways. If you are new to this topic it provides a comprehensive expose on regression therapy. If you looking for a map to address your own emotional healing this is a trusted guide. If you are a clinician this book offers insights from a master healer and countless exercises to use with your clients. It is rare to have such a complete and easy-to-use book on a complex topic. I highly recommend it!!!
