Mental health
The Returning Silence
We carry our emotional experiences throughout our lives and sometimes these become too much for us, while we remain unaware of what they consist of. Hypnosis provides a solution to this, a way of recognising the whole of us and how we have come to be the people we are today. You may be suffering from tinnitus and being given no hope of recovery, interested in hypnosis and the subconscious, or keen to know my personal story. This book is not the ultimate guide to recovering from tinnitus, but it will take you through my personal journey to better mental health and permanent silence. I share many years of personal research and experimentation into subconscious trauma, which gave me control over tinnitus and its effects. The Returning Silence demonstrates, my journey was personally significant. I have completed it, and maybe this book will help some others who have also suffered from tinnitus. In sharing the words in this book, I hope others in similar situations will take their own journeys and experience silence that comes from emotional tranquillity.
