His methods are varied. Michael unhesitatingly employs techniques from a variety of healing modalities. By combining hypnosis, the principles of gradual desensitization, archetypes and myth, with more traditional motivational tools, Dr. McGee's approach moves beyond both hypnosis and "talk therapies". His methods work in synergy; training both the conscious and subconscious mind of the sufferer concurrently. Applying his more diversified and integrative approach has greatly benefited my clients. Trance and Trauma has proven to be an effective and highly detailed guide for me; allowing me to work with clients suffering with issues of depression and substance abuse, as well as, childhood and military trauma.
