When you sign up, Twelve Minutes Before You Walk In arrives with your welcome email. You can use it that day. For the first fortnight I'll send you a few short emails about using it, and about what hypnotherapy is and isn't. Then every Sunday evening, one essay. Each one stands on its own, so there's nothing to keep up with. All of it is free.
