The Talk
Karen Schwarz will speak about the myths and magic of hypnosis and hypnotherapy. Karen will discuss the issues for which hypnosis is useful as well as those for which it is not, what makes someone a good – or bad – candidate for hypnosis, the history of hypnosis, why hypnosis has a “bad rap”, and more. Karen welcomes questions.
