Illustration of hypnoanalysis

Hypnoanalysis is a form of regression therapy and is probably the most profound of therapeutic techniques.I like to think of it as ‘the cream of therapies’, for a very special reason – where ‘conventional’ techniques are undoubtedly effective for most people, they still tend to deal only with the presenting problem, most of the time.
