Hypnotherapy is similar to the practice of medicine or counseling in this way:
“Hypnotherapists induce hypnotic state in the client to increase motivation or alter behavior patterns through hypnosis. Consults with clients to determine the nature of the problem. Prepares the client to enter a hypnotic state by explaining how hypnosis works and what the client will experience.
Test subjects to determine degrees of physical or emotional suggestibility.
Induces hypnotic techniques based on interpretation of tests results and analysis of client’s problem.
May train clients with self-hypnosis conditioning.
The Hypnotherapy Academy of America awards a diploma, but the graduate need certification
by the International Board of Hypnotherapy (IBH) before conducting sessions with clients.
Hypnosis as therapy
History of Hypnosis
Hypnotherapy Academy of America defines hypnotherapy as this:
Experts agree that hypnosis is a natural, yet altered state of mind. Hypnotherapy is the application of universally accepted self-discovery techniques and self-empowerment methods
(during this altered state) that free you of fear-based programming and assumed limitations.
This provides for an experience of your natural state – health, joy, abundance, and love.
Hypnotherapy also provides access to all your inner resources – resources you may not know you have.
This helps with solving problems and reaching important goals more easily.
“At the heart of the practice of hypnotherapy is the dynamic principle that thought is creative.”
Meaning, the quality of our dominant subconscious thinking influences every aspect of our life.
Hypnosis has helped thousands of people have breakthroughs that bring about lasting positive Changes.
