| Kudos to Dr. Paul Guy Durbin, author of Kissing Frogs: The Practical Use of Hypnotherapy which puts into practrice the theories of his first book, Human Trinity Hypnotherapy. The intriguing and apropo title took me back to my childhood and some favorite fairy tales. Dr. Durbin explains, "As hypnotherapists, our mission is to kiss frogs. We do that by the proper use of suggestions, imagery, and healing stories so that the client can become a prince or princess. There are many froggish people who feel slow, low, ugly, drooped, and pooped. They seem to be floating aimlessly on their lily pads needing a symbolic kiss. Other frogs are puffed up in their own little world. They appear to be successful and on top of the world, but inside there is a lack of meaning and a feeling of inner emptiness. They, too, need to be symbolically kissed. It is great to see a frog turn into a prince or princess so go on kissing frogs." With this paragraph the book concludes.
