About HypnosisAndSuggestion.org

HypnosisAndSuggestion.org was created by Dr Matthew Whalley in 2007. I developed the website because I was discouraged by how the science of hypnosis was misrepresented on the internet. When I launched it in 2007 the best resource for people seriously interested in hypnosis was the (now defunct) database of scientific papers at hypnosis-research.org. Sadly, I don't think anything has really taken its place. Nowadays I rarely get any time to maintain the site other than to perform security updates. I wince a bit when I re-read some of the rather opinionated takes on topics, but I'll leave it online as a reminder that practice (hopefully) makes me a better writer.
