All Hypnosis is Self-Hypnosis

For more than four decades, Dr. Brian Alman has helped thousands of people—from everyday professionals to top-level athletes and clinicians—transcend pain, stress, self-doubt and unconscious programming through his pioneering work in hypnosis and mind-body healing. Early in his career he trained with mentors who worked in the Ericksonian tradition, built a successful private practice, authored the enduring classic Self-Hypnosis: The Complete Manual for Health and Self-Change, and founded programs to address mind-body change at the level of stuck physiology and habitual thought. Now, in All Hypnosis Is Self-Hypnosis, he brings everything he has learned into one evolved, accessible guide—enriched with fresh stories of transformation, field-tested protocols, guided scripts, and interactive exercises designed for everyday use.
Whether you’re new to hypnosis or you’ve tried meditation, therapy or “mindset work” and still feel behind your own agenda, this book gives you a roadmap to become your own hypnotherapist. Dr. Alman reframes hypnosis not as something mystical or passive, but as a skillful, self-directed process: you learn to direct your inner mind to relax, re-pattern, activate your unconscious strengths and align with your deepest intentions. The result is not just relief from suffering but an upgrade of your inner architecture—so you engage life with more clarity, resilience and creative freedom. In this groundbreaking sequel, you get not only the depth of his thirty-plus years of work, but modern neuroscience and trauma-responsive language, making this book a timely, compelling and practical resource for the way we live today.
