Thirty years across psychotherapy, NLP, and hypnotherapy coaching is a genuinely impressive credential base, and the symmetrical 12-plus-12 structure gives the book a navigational clarity many self-help titles lack. The Balboa Press imprint and total absence of independent reviews mean there is no external check on whether the clinical experience translates well to the page, which is a meaningful gap for a self-help book asking for trust.
