Clinical Hypnosis Therapy

The major dilemma in deciding to pursue hypnotherapy is selecting a qualified Hypnotist.

You need to decide whether you want to work with a psychiatrist or other licensed mental health practitioner who includes hypnosis as a part of their practice, or if you want a hypnotist who uses hypnosis exclusively as a healing modality.

Psychiatrists and other licensed mental health practitioners at times use hypnosis in treating people; however certified hypnotists have more in-depth training. The psychiatrist or licensed mental health practitioner may have attended a weekend workshop and learned how to induce hypnosis but may have little or no experience in communicating with the mind in its subconscious mode.

The first question to ask anyone with whom you consider working is “Are you a certified hypnotist and by whom?” The National Guild of Hypnotherapists is the oldest and largest worldwide non-profit certifying organization cited by Congress in the Congressional Record of May 11th, 1993 as the foremost hypnosis organization in the country.

Although, one assumes all licensed professionals are highly qualified, that does not hold true with hypnosis, a licensed professional needs to be certified in hypnosis in addition to their license. Therefore, whomever you choose, be sure they are certified by a certifying institution or recognized organization and have had a minimum of 100 hours of training–not just a weekend seminar.

In addition, it is important to consider a Hypnotist, who is also a certified Regression practitioner. The reason it is important to choose a Hypnotist, who is also a certified Regression practitioner is because the root cause of your issue is more often than not rooted in your past experiences–therefore, regression to those experiences to heal the emotional issues is necessary. A certified Hypnotist has little or no training in regression work. Therefore, to have the most qualified Hypnotist make sure they are a certified Hypnotist and certified Regression practitioner.

Hypnosis Stress Management

When you are stressed out, it is only natural that you will feel the need to relax. For this reason, relaxation is one of the three main categories of stress management techniques. There are tons of relaxation practices. It can be as simple as taking a deep breath to oxygenate the brain and bring about a certain level of calmness. It can also be as complicated as meditation or hypnosis. Each technique has its own degree of difficulty, effectiveness, and duration. What makes hypnosis and meditation very popular is the fact that they can be life-changing for some people.

Meditation is the practice of stopping all thought. This can be done by mentally taking yourself to a faraway place where you are free from all the chains of your current life; chains that bring you stress. By focusing on this single thought, idea, or point of reference, you will be able to shut out everything else that’s happening around you. Amidst all the noise coming from the streets or any other distraction, you feel at peace with yourself. You will feel calm and happy. Coupled with breathing exercises, you can wake up from your meditative trance truly relaxed. Hypnosis Stress Management

Hypnosis, on the other hand is very similar yet different from meditation. Unlike meditation, hypnosis does not require you to stop all thought. It is similar to meditation in a way that it makes you go into the same trance and focus on a single idea. This single idea, however, is part of the affirmations which are said to you, played from a record, or said to yourself. These affirmations will help you become a better person as your hypnotic state makes you more willing to follow these suggestions. Instead of the stereotypical “You feel sleepy” phrases, the actual affirmations used in hypnosis help you quit bad habits such as smoking or alcoholism.

Contrary to popular belief, hypnosis does not shut down your brain and leaving you to the mercy of your hypnotist. The trance you go to doesn’t turn you to a walking zombie. What kind of trance are we talking about, then? I’m sure you daydream a lot. That’s the kind of trance that hypnosis puts you in. The advantage of hypnosis over meditation is that hypnosis can alter the behavior of the hypnotized. You wake up from hypnosis a better person, if not feeling like one. Hypnosis Stress Management
