First, things happen on the inside; only later do they become visible on the outside, as Brian Alman explains in this book. But how can we make things happen on the inside? How can we activate what Albert Schweitzer called the inner doctor? How can we tame self-doubt, fears, and negative thoughts? The most important thing, advises Brian Alman, is to treat oneself better. Whether it concerns physical or emotional health: the first step is to develop the unconscious potential. It is important not to work against oneself but to collaborate with one's inner voices, including the negative ones. Alman, an experienced hypnotherapist, explains exactly how to do this through numerous exercises and relaxation techniques. They are divided into three steps: accepting the problem, working with the inner judges, and finally becoming creative.
