This concise book will teach you how to achieve the deepest known level of hypnosis, which is “hypnotic coma.” This level has been used for decades as an alternative to anesthesia and drugs for pain management. You will learn how to induce, trigger, and evaluate hypnotic coma. You will also learn the role of fear in the use of this technique. A demonstration is provided. 

Hypnotic coma as a hypnotherapy technique was promoted by Dave Elman, a former stage hypnotist who was asked by medical and dental practitioners who were frustrated by the training they had received from Milton Erickson, M.D. He taught a much more effective way to achieve this deep level of hypnotic trance. 

This is book five in the Elman Hypnotherapy: Beyond the Basics series.
