Comments about Charles E. Henderson's books, training aids and Web site.

"By the way, Dr. Henderson, your explanation of the ways in which the conscious mind and the subconscious mind work with inductive and deductive reasoning (in your Internet article entitled, 'Hypnosis Suggestion and Formulation') was absolutely brilliant. For the first time (and I have studied self-hypnosis for a long time now) I fully begin to understand the reasoning processes of the conscious and the subconscious minds. Thank you, Dr. Henderson. Thank you very much." --Professor FB

"Thank you more than you'll ever know for your book and CD's. The information in your book is proving of immense value to free me life from an incredible sense of 'stuckness' and despair concerning not being able to achieve a future worth something to me. I have only been working with your methods for a few days and the results, although far from their final form, have been wondrous. Thank you, again. You have done a miraculous job and your book is a wonderful gift." - PG

"Well, I never thought I'd see this day. I don't think I can thank you enough, my hayfever has been cured and no longer affects me, and all due to this very informative website and your vast knowledge on the subject of self hypnosis. Thanks." --Stevie

"I am very impressed with your website. My psychologist has used hypnosis on me and is teaching me self hypnosis and this is so true. When I seen the word free I thought it would be a bunch of crap but it's not. It's for real!!" --AS

"I started last Saturday after my morning coffee doing one session per day. ... I started eating less after the first session ... I've taken off 5 lbs since Saturday!" --KC

"I tried the tape for quitting smoking and much to my surprise it worked!!! I`m still shocked and it`s been over 2 years!!! Thank You!!!!" --SMcA

"I wanted to let you know that I purchased your relaxation tape for my 17 YO daughter. She was having a very difficult time relaxing and going to sleep at night. She loves the tape, says she has never been able to stay awake to hear the end of it!" --RK

[A really great letter from a man in the Southwest, too lengthy to include here, but you can read it by clicking here.]

[Message with tape order:] "I had one of your tapes a few years ago. It worked GREAT! Looking forward to developing the skill again... Thanks." --FJ

"As far as I can tell, the general induction tape has made a huge difference in how well I've been practicing self-hypnosis. I decided that your memorization tape would probably be more effective than any suggestions I'd think of on my own. Thanks for offering all that information for free, by the way. It really helped convince me to give this a try." --MM

"I do like the 'psychosonic' background as it does seem to help facilitate my concentration, minimizing any 'outside' distractions." --DP

"Thanks for your suggestions. Based on your helpful material my husband and I have engaged in some interesting talks about Evil Eye (definately an inner fear of mine ) and the hidden issues between couples (I think he is more comfortable w/ me over weight and has definately suggested 'let's get an ice cream' too often, sometimes on my very first day of a new diet) umm, I thought so! :=) but he cares so, he's going to be 'in on this w/ me.' He thinks he too will listen to the tapes (he's not overweight) to help him w/ his stage fright, (but he loves to sing), Funny how we mess up our mind or let our mind mess up our lives. --Nancy"

"Over the years I have purchased numerous records, tapes and hypnosis aids. Some of them cost in the hundreds of dollars . Most of them at least partially worked. Your tape is different .It is fantastic. I have never seen anything like it. It is the best I have ever seen , bar none. The success I have had with it in just a few days has been worth many times the price and I have every reason to believe that the future will be even better." --CW

"I am writing from the University of Pittsburgh, Copyright Clearance Office. I would like permission to use 'Good Things To Know About Hypnosis.' This is needed for Professor Kathleen Tusaie-Mumford's Summer 1999 course."

"My husband bought the shyness tape three weeks ago, and is finding himself starting conversations with people on his own! He use to find excuses to leave meetings early so he wouldn't need to talk to people, when the meeting was over. He would hide when a meeting had a break. Now he dosen't! He is surprising himself." --JR

"I have visited your website today and plan on mentioning it in the next edition of the emailed 'New England Hypnosis Newsletter,' which I publish."--SD

"Would just like to thank you for your very informative website! It has taught me so much about self-hypnosis! I'm 'practicing' everyday now and have never slept so wonderfully!!"--EH

"Anyway, the reason for this e-mail is to tell you a really cool story and the Chevreul pendulum. I couldn't find my glasses, so I whipped out my paper with the diagram on it. I explained the situation to my subconcious. [Did some questioning and learned that] to my surprise, my glasses were on a table next to the trampoline. Thanks for teaching me the pendulum." --JR

[Message with tape order:] "The previous tapes that I received from you are educational and effective. Many thanks!" --JK

"I received your tapes on Mon and played the Weight control first. When I first ordered the tapes I was kind of doubtful and hesitant that any of this would 'really' work. But to my my delightful surprise I can see I made a good investment. I ran the Induction tape and it was wonderful. I've never been in such a state of serenity.... Thank you again." --RS

"So I've been looking up websites for a while. Many offer free information but when I get to them, the free information is about twenty lines and the rest can be ordered off the web and I must admit a touch of cynicism was creeping into my attitude (which I've only realised in typing this). So I would like to thank you for the time, effort and care that you put into your site and tell you that I really appreciate your presence on the internet. Thank you." --LC

"Checked into going to a hypotist for this help and it was going to cost over $1,000, plus months of visits and traveling 60 miles each time. I've already had a class in self-hypnosis and was wondering if there were tapes out there somewhere to re-enforce what I already know how to do. Thank you very much for such an informative web site." --Mrs. NC

"Ordered tapes before and can't resist more." --DJ

"Excellent site. Interesting personal history. Very nice practical perspective." --RF

"Thanks so much for taking the time to make this fascinating web site. Your skill at writing has kept me glued to my computer screen! I look forward to beginning my journey with self-hypnosis tomorrow morning. Thanks again. --KR"

"…your web site…is the best site on the subject I have found - by a mile!" --JW

"The site was very informative and I found the bug part in the weight control meeting very funny." --Ms. VC

"The tape has proved to be a wonderful form of relaxation and I even think my attitudes are slowly changing about food." --SS

"Once again thanks for producing such high quality tapes. The Shyness tape has done wonders for me!!!" --RD

"I never do the feedback thing on websites, but I had to this time. Your site is by far the most entertaining and informative site I have ever been to. The stories! Oh my goodness, the stories are hypnotic! (pun intended) It was just so much fun to read. I kept clicking around and I have read almost every page. The only thing that stopped me from finishing off the site is that it is now 5:20am (started reading your site at 11pm) and I am waaaay past the time that I give myself to go to sleep." --TG

"'Whatever your reasons,' excellent site. Maybe the best truly free site on the net." --Anon.

"I've been listening to the tape for about a month now, and I do notice a difference in my perception of food. Yey!" --SS

"I have found the two products purchased last year first class." --RC

"Just wanted to let you know how much I am enjoying your website. All the information is easy to understand AND fun to read. Reading this material has convinced me to try self-hypnosis. I discovered the site upon searching for material concerning smoking cessation. I am amazed at how open I am to trying this, but I'm going to give it a shot. Thanks for publishing this FANTASTIC site." --SK

"I really like your style of getting the fundamentals of hypnosis across. You are so down to earth and take away the mystical 'wave of the wand' that most people expect when they think of hypnotherapy." --LB

"I've looked at many hypnosis sites, and yours is one of the best. You share a lot of information in a clean, easy-to-understand manner. Plus, you have a sense of humor that helps, not hinders. Thank you --DO'D"

"I purchased some of your tapes. Well done! . . . keep being irreverent, using politically incorrect words and, God forbid!, expressing yourself as you are and not as you might want others to regard you. It's refreshing as well as so needed in this droll times of scripted lives." --DO

"Hypnotica is the most informative and down to earth of all the hypnosis web sites I have visited. The ones I had encountered previously I did not feel I could trust because their claims on what could be achieved with self-hypnosis were too outlandish (I strongly believe in the principle of `no free lunch` as the basic law that governs the goings-on in the universe) or because their explanations of the workings of self-hypnosis were too vague. Thank you. You have given me enough motivation to practice on a daily basis and to be persistent in spite of the initial frustrations. You have also given me new hope that I may yet overcome my problems." --GC

"Compared to other sites I found it to be credible, low-key, and lacking in sensational claims. Exactly what I was looking for!" --JS

"professional site, other sites appeared to be all hype and felt like cons" --AG

"I still cannot believe that Hypnotica is free. This is the spirit of the internet, this is how it's done and you've done it. I've been sick of going through sites, reaching that one click that reads 'find about it now', only to be presented with a credit card form....the content in your site is great. Great stuff. Very honest, very straight to the point, no esoteric bs, as per usual in this sort of subject... just the facts, and some cool jokes. :)" --PCeS

"I read through the whole entire weight loss pages, I also read the self hypnotic pages. I think that this is a wonderful way to help me lose weight. I was going to be hypnotized at a show and I kept thinking about it, so it didn't work. I still wanted my suggestion. He mentioned a man doing self hypnosis and so I looked up your site. I have much love for you and Thanks with all my heart!!" --JD

"Part of my plan for my own training Web is to include links to good self-hypnosis and meditation sites to aid my fine art photography students in developing their personal vision and creativity. Now I know were to send them! Thanks for this new edition of the operator's manual for my favorite problem solving tool - my mind." --JC

"You DESERVE to be a Ph.D., and your sense of humor is MOST remarkable and refreshing! I am very grateful to have found your site. ... Thanks so much for being zany and funny in your site!" --CK

"...I wanted to tell you how much I enjoy your writing style. Your sense of humor, conversational tone and 'anyone can do it' attitude is refreshing and empowering. I 've always viewed myself as "too uptight"to excel at self-hypnosis, but your material has changed my mind. Thanks for a wonderful and informative website!" --LB

"I am very pleased to go to a website where you can get a great deal of information without being pressured into buying something. Even if one doesn't choose to buy a book or tape from you, a lot information is still available. Your pages are easy to understand, and you have written everything masterfully." --TDC

"I just found your website and am terrifically please to find so much useful info about hypnosis available gratis. I am a composer/musician with a successful New Age album currently released, with many more on the way. I have used self-hypnosis for years and years, but only recently have I begun to realize what a tremendous power this skill is!" --SFF

"Hearty Congratulations on an ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS site!!!! ... After 25 years of doing psychotherapy/counseling, it is gratifying and energizing to be learning something new, profound and immensely practical. I have already e-mailed three people about your site. I find it wonderfully accessible for all educational levels. It is clear and concise--and the humor doesn't hurt! It is inspiring and empowering. You can be very proud of providing such excellent instruction & service for people! Thank you very much for teaching me more and for increasing both my interest & skills. I'll certainly be referring clients to your site to augment what we do in session! Thanks again! May you live a long and healthy life! With deepest gratitude," --SM
