FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Does hypnosis work? YES! It is amazing how effective hypnosis is for medical and behavioral difficulties, and for self-improvement and lifestyle changes. In virtually every area of medicine and psychology where hypnosis is used as an adjunct treatment, success rates are dramatically improved. Behavioral issues such as addiction, smoking cessation and weight loss are common uses for hypnosis, and it is used effectively in managing the physical discomforts of many functional illnesses such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome, fibromyalgia, and pain management. Medical applications in anesthesia, child-birthing and dental work are clearly documented, and hypnosis is recognized by theAmerican Dental Association and American Psychological Association as a modality of treatment - because it is safe, effective and natural. Can a person really learn to use clinical hypnosis in two days of training? YES! If you are already skilled in therapy/counseling or other allied health profession, you don't need a comprehensive class to teach you the foundations of the therapeutic relationship, empathy, or interviewing skills, as these are skills you already possess. In fact, you also already possess the skills needed to induce hypnosis - because hypnosis is a natural phenomena, not a mystical state of altered consciousness. It is entirely possible to complete a 2-day course on the technical aspects of hypnosis, and then begin using hypnosis with your clients. Our accelerated classes are based on the principles of effective learning and provide a great deal of knowledge in a short period of time. We regularly get calls from people who begin using hypnosis with clients upon completion of this course and report tremendous success.

Our homestudy course presumes that you already understand how to provide counseling, and it teaches the techniques of hypnotherapy didactically and through demonstration. One benefit of a homestudy course is that the multi-media materials are there to review over and over, at your own pace. Of course, live trainings are unique and provide a forum for hands-on practice with fellow students, but both methods of learning are beneficial. One therapist we know in Texas completed our homestudy course and within a few months reported that she was now doing 75% hypnotherapy and building an all-cash practice with very positive feedback from her clients. We provide the knowledge to actually do hypnosis, not just a theoretical framework. Is Hypnosis Safe? Sometimes people try to "sell" hypnosis training programs (usually very expensive or lengthy programs) by keeping hypnosis mystical and saying that only those who take "their" course are "safely" able to use hypnosis. Because hypnosis is a natural state and all hypnotic phenomena occur in real life - even if we don't identify it as hypnosis, your biggest risk is a client falling out of the chair! Solution: Buy a recliner for the office. Revivification, regression, trance, abreaction, and other experiences in hypnosis occur in traditional therapy, and you are already trained to deal with many of these issues. It is true that without experience or training a person may do ineffective hypnotherapy, or may even take it in a direction that has no scientific validity, but just as there are bad hypnotherapists there are bad professional counselors or social workers. Fortunately, they are far and few between in our profession and this course is based on a naturalistic and realistic view of hypnosis. There is absolutely nothing to fear in hypnosis, except those who try to "sell" programs based on fear. What can I do as a clinical hypnotist? Hypnosis is used in the fitness industry to improve performance, focus and concentration; by educators for alleviating test-anxiety, increasing comprehension and accelerating learning; and by therapists for changing faulty cognitive errors and helping clients develop healthy patterns of behavior. Those who incorporate clinical hypnosis into professional practice report higher earnings, and satisfied clients. You will be able to work with many new types of clients and even develop an all-cash practice where clients often pre-pay for services. At the conclusion of our courses, you will be able to:
You will also be able to provide an additional modality of treatment that will benefit many of the clients you currently work with - and effectively offer solutions to clients you previously were unable to help. Can I use the title "Clinical Hypnotherapist" after completing your courses? Our Clinical Hypnosis Certification programs meet the criteria for basic Certification by the ICBCH. Participants who successfully complete our program will receive a certification designation, as follows: Certified Hypnotist (C.Ht.) Certified Professional Hypnotist (C.P.H.) Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist (C.C.H.) ICBCH Diplomate Status Will earning hypnosis certification help me build my practice? Professionals who offer hypnosis as a modality of treatment find an increase in referrals, a larger base of clients, and many more clients wiling to self-pay than in other forms of therapy. Fees can be established based on problem-solving rather than trading "dollars-for-hours" as with traditional models of therapy. Group hypnosis for habit control can draw large numbers of clients, and instead of limiting yourself to "depressed people" or "mentally ill" people, you can offer services that focus on wellness and enhancement of all aspects of life. Does one need a special license or certification to do hypnosis? In most states the answer is no. If you are a state or nationally licensed or certified mental health professional, you are already licensed to use hypnotic modalities for health and wellness in most states. And while it is true that in most states individuals without licensure can practice hypnosis, our courses are primarily designed for those with a counseling, social work, medical or professional helping-industry background. Why certify those who are not mental health professionals at all? The reason is simple: Many unlicensed professionals use hypnosis for non-medical purposes and some hold unique expertise in their field that makes them more qualified to use hypnosis for certain applications than a therapist. One example comes from the fitness field: Personal fitness trainers and coaches know their clients and utilize strategies to assist them with personal health-related goals or in competitive situations. They are not doing therapy, but they are helping people, and they should have access to clinically solid training. Another example: Golf pros use the skills of hypnosis to assist players in developing focus and concentration; licensed massage therapists promote relaxation and physical healing, and we recognize that when people interested in hypnosis aren't allowed access to quality programs, they will find programs that are less than quality to teach them what they want to know. Why is hypnosis not regulated? Hypnosis is a natural phenomena; a resource already existing within clients. Helping people relax, feel good, take physical control over emotions and use the decision making power of the mind to resolve difficulties is not the domain of any single entity or discipline; it is praxeological in nature, encompassing all areas of human life and problem solving. What is "Advanced Parallel Programming"? APP is a method of using hypnosis that draws from both directive and Ericksonian methods and has as its core function three goals:
A typical APP hypnosis session will draw on cognitive-behavioral modalities of treatment and incorporate assessment, interviewing strategies, and a holistic approach that meets the clients at their point of need. One-size-fits-all approaches to hypnosis that only use directive or only metaphorical approaches are limiting. APP is a metatheoretical model of hypnosis that compliments rather than replaces other modalities of treatment. What will I learn in your courses? All of our hypnosis courses focus on clinical aspects of hypnotherapy. We do not teach past-life regression, meditation techniques or speculative approaches to hypnosis, and we do not teach forensic hypnosis or recovered memory therapy. Are your instructors qualified? YES! Our coursework and instructors' qualifications are highly regulated by numerous social work, nursing, psychology, counseling, and marriage and family therapy boards. All instructors hold advanced degrees, state licensure in mental health related disciplines, experience in the subject matter being taught, and/or meet any other regulation to provide advanced training and certification and to award CE credit. What about Past-Life Regression or other "Oprah-fications" of hypnosis? Our coursework is based on clinical modalities of treatment with demonstrated benefit to clients. We do not teach PLR or other modalities of religious applications of hypnosis. We do not teach forensic hypnosis except to qualified law enforcement professionals, and we do not teach methods of "memory recollection," due to the inaccuracy of hypnotically retrieved memories and the potential for "false-memory syndrome". You will learn techniques sanctioned by psychological and medical associations around the world, and to use hypnotic methods to create effective change in clients seeking such changes. What is the ICBCH? ICBCH Inc. is an organization formed for educational purposes. The International Certification Board of Clinical Hypnotherapy is a professional association that recognizes and hypnosis certification programs and educates the public about the benefits of clinical hypnotherapy. It was created to set standards of excellence, and to promote clinical hypnotherapy and related fields of social science. Its broadest goals are to insure quality training opportunities and help enhance the standing of clinical hypnotherapy. Its narrower focus is to assist individuals and organizations in being recognized for achieving a level of quality within the field of hypnotherapy. The ICBCH certified professional is governed by a professional code of ethics. Upon successful completion of this program, you will receive both the certification designation and a complementary 1-year Membership with the ICBCH. www.HypnotherapyBoard.org Need More Hypnosis Training?
