Selecting a Hypnotherapy Practitioner:
Hypnotherapy is a powerful but commonly misunderstood healing and personal development tool. Hypnotherapy is classified as an Alternative healing modality which means (among other things) that it does not have licensing the way that medical and mental health professions do. In most states, including California, anyone call him/herself a Hypnotist or Hypnotherapist even if they have no training in hypnosis. And for those hypnotherapy practitioners who do have a certification, the state of California leaves it up to each hypnotherapy program to determine their certification requirements. People can obtain a hypnotherapy certification by simply taking a short on-line class without ever interacting with a live human being. Hypnotherapists who have certification from the National Guild of Hypnotists (NGH) have met more widely recognized professional standards, however, they have not necessarily completed any training or certification as a counselor or psychotherapist. If you have a problem that is troubling you enough to seek out professional help, I encourage you to review the background, training, and credentials of the hypnotherapy or hypnosis practitioner whose services you are considering utilizing before scheduling a session.
