Become a Hypnotherapist, But Do It Right!

By Charles Wm. Skillas, Ph.D., DD, BCH, FNGH, CI

People are hailing the newly rediscovered, yet ancient, healing modality of Hypnotherapy as the wonder of Alternative Medicine. So - why are so many people, who seek it's healing, often disappointed in their results? Is it because it really isn't the mighty technique people are hoping for? Or is it … maybe, because it's not always done right.

Hypnotherapy's healing capability stems from its ability to reach the subconscious mind, where according to medical authority about 85% of disease originates psychosomatically. Some authorities say that all disease is of the mind. Because of the great cost involved in modern medicine and lack of insurance by so many, there is a great clamor for less costly healing approaches. In addition, hypnosis enhances people's lives by helping them to be more successful personally and professionally.

Hypnosis is a very old technique that permits the Critical Factor of the Conscious Mind to be by-passed. This produces a highly receptive subconscious state of mind into which beneficial suggestions can be offered. Hypnosis itself is no big deal. One can easily learn to hypnotize in a 3-day weekend course. Hypnosis allows direct access to the subconscious mind, which is a sacred realm. What the hypnotist does with the client after accessing the subconscious is what makes the difference in whether the client is helped. It is here, that therapy is done and makes the hypnotist a Hypnotherapist.

Many hypnotists are trained to hypnotize, but are not trained to be Hypnotherapists. These hypnotists hypnotize a person and while in this receptive state, the hypnotist reads him a prescription to reprogram his subconscious mind. For instance, for smoking the hypnotist reads suggestions to stop smoking. The same technique is used for weight loss, addictions, etc. Usually, these are not very effective because they have not addressed the root causes of the problem. This is why many such programs are so ineffective in the long haul. Why is this so?

For every difficulty a person is experiencing, there is always a cause. THIS CAUSE IS ALWAYS FROM SOMETHING IN THIS LIFE, A PAST LIFE, UNRESOLVED INTERNAL CONFLICTS, BIOLOGICAL CARRYOVERS FROM ANCESTORS, OR FROM ATTACHED ENERGIES. The causes must be uncovered and removed and only then, can the subconscious be reprogrammed so that the difficulty will not reestablish. These causes are called Negative Forcing Functions and they not only distort the body's energy field causing energy blocks, but they also install into and continuously support negative programs in the subconscious mind. The programs in our subconscious determine our behavior and response to life.

Techniques for uncovering the cause of the distress are many and the skilled Hypnotherapist has available an impressive array of uncovering methods with which to find the distress causes. After finding the causes, the Hypnotherapist must then choose from an equally impressive array of techniques to release the distress source energy. The well-trained Hypnotherapist will choose the most appropriate and effective uncovering and energy removal techniques depending on the particular needs of the client. Once the distress cause is found and the energy released, the Hypnotherapist can then reprogram the subconscious and permanent change can happen.

The National Guild of Hypnotists (NGH), which is the oldest, largest, and most prestigious certification organization in the world, trains competent Hypnotherapists. NGH has chapters throughout the USA and is represented in 44 countries around the world. NGH certification requires a minimum of 100 hours of core curriculum instruction. Being certified by the NGH is very important because the States are moving towards registration or licensing governing the practice of Hypnotherapy and unapproved hypnotherapy training not meeting practice requirements will be useless in the future. The NGH and its affiliate The National Federation of Hypnotists (104 - OPEIU AFL-CIO) are in the forefront of this legislation.

The NGH will only certify hypnotherapists taught by NGH Certified Instructors. Dr. Charles Skillas, an NGH Certified Instructor teaches the Certification Course and the Advanced Courses from the unique perspective of energy flow through the body. These courses teach the student, not only how to hypnotize, but how to find and release all Negative Forcing Functions and to reprogram the subconscious mind for positive change.
