Preface

As a busy general practitioner in Scotland in the early 1980s I was struck by the increasing number of people presenting at my surgery with distressing symptoms suggestive of anxiety and panic attacks. I routinely prescribed medication to them. I seldom do so now.

In 1991, 11 years after graduating in medicine from Glasgow University, I trained in clinical hypnosis. Five years later, I opened the first — and still the only — Medical Hypnosis practice in New Zealand. Since then I have successfully treated thousands of people with anxiety or panic. People have travelled to my rooms in central Wellington for anxiety treatment from all over New Zealand based on word-of-mouth recommendation or referral from their own doctor.

My peers worldwide respect the unique style and delivery of hypnosis that I have developed, and I have been invited as keynote speaker to dozens of hypnosis conferences in New Zealand, Australia, the US, Canada and the UK over the past 20 years. However, this is the first time that this innovative method of treating anxiety appears in print. Its publication is the result of my patients and professional colleagues urging me to share these skills with a wider audience.

This book outlines my understanding of the causes, the mechanisms and the ways to address and deal with anxiety and panic. The book represents the introductory session I have with a patient. The MP3s contains the three treatment sessions that follow. The accompanying MP3s augment the writing and teaches these methods to abolish anxiety, including safe self-hypnosis that is easy to learn. Together the book and MP3s will give you a clear pathway to understanding how to cure anxiety and panic.

If you are prone to anxiety or panic attacks then there are three key skills that you need to learn. They are all contained here. You will not need to travel to Wellington or to New Zealand nor spend hundreds of dollars to receive individual therapy over several weeks or months. You can enjoy listening to the contents of the MP3s in the comfort of your own home.

I wish you all the very best for your relaxed life to be.
