A consumer's guide to hypnosis and qualified hypnotists

So you’re looking for a practitioner or training in this powerful modality. And you note there really are very few consumers’ guides around to help you know if you have a top quality product. This is the consumer’s guide for you put out by Innisfree.

Practitioners.

Here are the things a practitioner should be trained in and have for competence:

200+ hours of training is a great beginning. These should have been spread over several months – not weekends
Fully trained in induction techniques, Erickson scripting, direct and indirect suggestion, regression, gestalt therapy, and transpersonal techniques [past life] as well as several other areas
An academic background which lends itself to the use of hypnosis – college, university or specialization
Many written materials to provide for your information concerning your issue and hypnosis itself.

Ask about all of these things to get a grasp of the practitioner’s ability whether non-medical or medical hypnotists

Certified Innisfree practitioners have all of the above.
