Hypnotherapy is a
very powerful healing modality because it accesses the
subconscious mind where all the problem sources are
buried --- but it must be done right!
People are hailing the
newly rediscovered, yet ancient, healing modality of
Hypnotherapy as the wonder of Alternative Medicine.
But, why doesnt it always work? Is it because it really
isn't that great? On the other hand, is it, maybe, because
it's not always being done right.
Hypnotherapy heals because
it can reach the subconscious mind, where according
to medical authority about 85% of disease originates
psychosomatically. Some authorities say all disease
is of the mind. Because of modern medicines great cost
and lack of insurance by so many, there is a great clamor
for less costly healing approaches. In addition, hypnosis
enhances peoples 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.
What the hypnotist does with the client after he is
in hypnosis 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. These are not very effective, achieving little
more success than the placebo effect. This is why many
such programs are so ineffective in the long haul.
Why is this so? For
every difficulty a person has, there is a cause, a Negative
Forcing Function in the subconscious mind. THIS CAUSE
IS ALWAYS FROM SOMETHING BAD THAT HAPPENED TO US IN
THIS LIFE OR A PAST LIFE, A BIOLOGICAL CARRYOVER FROM
THE ANCESTORS, UNRESOLVED INTERNAL CONFLICTS OR FROM
AN ATTACHED ENERGY. The cause must be uncovered and
removed and only then, can the subconscious be reprogrammed
so that the difficulty will not reestablish.
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 source(s). After finding
it, the Hypnotherapist must then choose from an equally
impressive list of techniques to eradicate 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 source Negative
Forcing Function is found and the energy released, the
Hypnotherapist can now reprogram the subconscious and
permanent healing 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 all
over the USA and is represented in 44 countries around
the world. NGH certification requires a minimum of 100
hours of core curriculum instruction. This 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
around the world.
In the Atlanta area,
The Inner Space offers classes leading to full certification
by the NGH. The NGH Certified Hypnotherapy Training
developed by Dr. Richard Hart of New York, is based
on 50 years of research and proven field-tested behavioral
programs. The Certification Curriculum provides a complete
classical education in hypnotherapy enabling graduates
to immediately become practicing Hypnotherapists.
On completion of the
Certification Curriculum, graduates will be able to
help clients with phobias, self-confidence and esteem
issues, weight and smoking problems, sports performance,
career counseling, sales performance and most other
issues presented to Hypnotherapists in their practice.
This course is designed
for:
- Those who want to
work with people in a private professional practice
of their own (full or part time)

professionals including therapists, counselors, social
workers and nurses desiring to enhance their skills
and add Hypnosis as a short-term treatment modality
