You talk of conversing with the subconcious explicitly outside of the term
'hypnosis'.
I personally see hypnosis as being the ultimate level of conversation with
the subconcious.
Could you expand a little on the concept of subconcious discussion outside
hypnosis - I feel that it may help in offering insights into rapid induction.
Perhaps you could also explain the concept of leving a post hypnotic
suggestion without hypnotising a person?

Given the immense relaxation that generally pairs itself with hypnosis -
heart conditions is quite obvious. And I think the implications of
schizophrenia speak for itself (or should that be TO itself? ;))
But I find your comments on epilepsy very interesting. I understand a
little about epilepsy, but would you care to offer sugestions as to the
risks involved in this, and how they may manifest themselves?

I can see how the perverted mind would pay for a hypnotherapy session with
the programme of merely debunking it. How do you handle such people? Do
you 'prove them wrong'? or maybe just say "sorry, goodbye"? Does this
contrary/stubborn/??? attitude in a patient mean that a suggestion which is
accepted is all the more powerful?
Hopefully there are one or two good questions above. I think the concept
of 'subconcious communication' will be of special interest to this group -
given that it is what our hallowed monarch exudes :)
