I couldn't help but think about Dr. Albert Ellis' Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy when reading this article. Our irrational beliefs can get in the way and we may believe that our work is not "perfect" and we are "failures" because someone is giving us "helpful criticism." This audio can really enhance our ability to calm ourselves so that we don't allow ourselves to become depressed or become enraged. And this audio can help us to think more rationally and put our energy to good use by changing our thinking (I'm not perfect and that's okay. I can practice and improve my work if I choose to but I'm not a failure if my work is not perfect) so we can focus on improving our work. I'm looking forward to downloading this audio and giving it a try! Mark's work is amazing and I find that hypnosis has helped me significantly with my own mental health. I also enjoyed his reference to Dr. Gottman's research, who I've also studied. I'm a prelicensed mental health professional and I haven't attempted to utilize hypnosis in my practice, but I believe that hypnosis can be utilized with other theoretical perspectives and significantly enhance treatment.
