ABOUT YVONNE SMITH

Yvonne Smith began researching the UFO phenomenon in the late 1980s. After 2 years of studies and 1000 hours of internship a the California Hypnosis Motivation Institute, the only accredited hypnosis college in the United States, she received her hypnotherapy certification in 1990. Specializing in cases of post traumatic stress disorder, she used her hypnotherapy skills to assist such victims to work through their anxiety. [ Many of her subjects are referred to her by physicians and psychiatrists who believe Smith's expertise can benefit their patients.] . In fact, many such patients are themselves doctors, university professors, engineers, lawyers and other professionals.

Because Smith [who is internationally known in UFO circles as simply "hypnotherapist Yvonne"] observed that many of the PTSD cases being referred to her involved subjects with similar patterns of UFO abduction encounters , Yvonne founded Close Encounters Resource Organization [ CERO] as a support group for such individuals in 1992. She is also on the board of the Organization for Paranormal Understanding and Support (OPUS) to further her support for such subjects.

In addition to being a hypnotherapist "in demand", since 1991 Yvonne has traveled extensively, presenting lectures in the United States at M.I.T. and several other universities, at many American "UFO" conferences ( e.g. frequently acting as moderator and lecturer at the Roswell Annual UFO Celebration) and lecturing and conducting many standing-room-only experiencer sessions at the International UFO Congress in Laughlin, Nevada, U.S.A.. She has also lectured for several years at international conferences from South America to Europe.

ABOUT "CHOSEN: Recollections of UFO Abductions Through Hypnotherapy":

In CHOSEN Yvonne Smith, a certified hypnotherapist who has specialized in the use of hypnotherapy to assist those who have suffered post traumatic stress as a result of "close encounters" reveals the trauma of such individuals. In UFO circles, whenever there is a reported "sighting" the emphasis of UFO investigations is to evaluate whether the new experience description supports, or not, the reality of a non-earthly contact. However, recognized regressive hypnotherapy expert Yvonne Smith emphasizes the effect on the experiencer of their encounter. The typical book dealing with UFO sightings, emphasizes how the event supports a UFO encounter rather than focusing on any trauma caused to the experiencer from their encounter.

CHOSEN

...focuses uniquely on the effect the encounter has on the experiencer.

CHOSEN

...uniquely contains dozens of startlingly candid and unedited transcripts of subjects' recollections of alien abductions, unblocked from hidden memory during regressive hypnotherapy sessions.

CHOSEN

...reveals Yvonne Smith's skill as a post traumatic stress hypnotherapy specialist by probing deeply into her subjects' subconscious to release them from their trauma.

CHOSEN

...provides the reader with information to consider, evaluate...and decide.
