It's always challenging to review self-hypnosis CD's because they are often a hit-or-miss proposition. They depend so much on the quality of the speaker's voice in addition to the specific content of the hypnotic induction-- what one person calls "soothing" another might find "grating." That said, the overall quality of these two discs is excellent and they achieve their promised results. Like other reviewers, I, too, didn't even hear much of the program the first time I used it because I fell asleep. That in itself is testimony to its effectiveness. I had to listen to the CD's during the day to actually hear what he said so I could write this review.It is very clear that Dr. Gurgevich has better insight and empathy for his listeners than many other hypnosis practitioners. He addresses the common concerns of people with sleep issues. He understands that sometimes voices can disturb someone, as can room noises, as can the mind's natural resistance. He notes the value of closing your eyes (and turning off lights or TV) because visual stimulus keeps the brain awake. Here are some specific aspects of this program that differentiate it from typical relaxation/sleeping discs.1. Dr. Gurgevich uses short but effective inductions. He doesn't do entire body relaxation scans (which can actually make anxious folks more anxious) but confines his inductions to simple breathing and thumb/finger exercises. Short and sweet-- and powerful.2.
