Hi Michael, some good points. The point about body proportion is not especially relevant - brains ar brains. But the cause and effect question needs some follow up.

That is a good question and one it appears that researchers are looking at. I know they sorted out for people with various conditions - but it is a great lineof questioning

Hi Helen, It is different in the UK. In the U.S. anyone can become a "CHT" without any real testing or education, you can even get one by mail order. So it is important here to make sure the therapist has a real background in psychology.

I am with you - "image" is more of a figure of speech when talking about self image. Things are changing fast with fMRI. I am changing my view of the subconscious to the adaptive conscious just now. The more you study, the more you find you don't know... which is pretty cool!!!

They have a directory of licensed psychologists who do hypnosis

Hi Debbi, Thanks for commenting. I am not against you practicing hypnosis - it is the misrepresentation of practioners that are not licensed or without a background in psychology making it seem as if they do. CHT can look official after someone's name, but as you know they are extremely easy to get.

Anyway, a lot of practitioners who are not psychologists do good work, especially when they focus in on one area. As long as their clients know their background and have expectations set correctly, all is good. I prefer that any therapist I use be steeped in both practice and education (maybe this is just a hang up of mine being raised in college town!).

About EFT, some of the therapist we publish also use some type of tapping therapy in conjunction with hypnosis. EFT is one of many tapping type techniques derived from the work of Callahan a long time ago. The research isn't there at all, but there are a lot of good stories out there about it.

Hi,

I answered her above.

Hi Randy,

That is a good question. I don't believe this study was referring to self image in the way you are taking it. They are referring to the construct of "self image" not necesarily in the visual system. My understanding is that we use all of our senses as we build our self concept. I think the visual component is just one aspect of this.
