STRESS CONTROL IS THE KEY It is a lot easier to say "no" when you are relaxed. To become more conscious and aware of the powerful effects of your self-relaxation sessions, just do a before and after relaxation rating test. Zero can be total relaxation and ten can be extreme tension. Rate yourself before and after your hypnosis session, and notice the benefits. Learn to be relaxed alone, or with others. M. Vance Romane Romane can help you to control your own stress with his Stress Control four CD set. A related stress management CD is the Overcome Panic and Anxiety CD.
