Hypnotherapy Schools and Careers Guide

Hypnotherapy Training Schools | Natural Healers Career Resource Center

What is hypnotherapy? Hypnotherapy evolved from an Austrian physician, Franz Anton Mesmer (1734-1815). It is currently used in a variety of medical and dental environments, from helping people to lose weight, stop smoking, reduce stress and relieve pain, to helping people with their anxiety, phobias, depression and low self-esteem. It can include regression work or "progression," to assist clients in visualizing future positive outcomes and possibilities in their lives.

Hypnosis involves a state of focused relaxation, when the subconscious mind is open to suggestions. The hypnotherapist facilitates communication between the right and left sides of the brain with the client in a state of consciousness somewhere between waking and sleeping. The client benefits the most when the desire to be hypnotized is there, and he/she knows the environment is completely safe and peaceful. The client, though relaxed, is always in control. Some practitioners have their own private practices, while others use hypnotherapy in their already existing acupuncture, massage therapy, psychotherapy or holistic nursing careers.
