Comments on: Does anyone have any recommendations for learning hypnosis? http://www.cbproductzone.com/37/learning-hypnosis/does-anyone-have-any-recommendations-for-learning-hypnosis/ Hypnosis is a relaxed state where someone is more open to suggestions. It feels familiar because we actually do it so often. We enter and leave hypnotic states constantly throughout the day. The act of reading, day dreaming, or watching TV with focused attention are all light trance states. Walking down the sidewalk or waiting for the subway, many people are in a trance state. Just look at them. Driving on a highway may make the trance state more easily noticed.

First look at the certification bodies. One of the largest (who I am certified through) is the National Guild of Hypnotists (http://www.ngh.net) and they have a list of certified trainers and advanced classes. This would recommend this as your first step. One you learn the basics from a certification course, then you can look into a specialty (if you desire) Didn't know hypnotists had specialties? <grin> As there are many different uses for hypnosis, there are specializations: Parts Therapy, Complementary Medical Hypnosis, Regression Therapy, Stage Hypnosis, HypnoBirthing, Past life regression therapy, etc, etc. As for stage hypnosis, that is typically a specialty, and one would pursue that after a basic course (unless they enrolled specifically into a stage hypnosis course) As for books? The two that I recommend are "The Art of Hypnosis" and "The Art of Hypnotherapy" both by Roy Hunter, The first one gives a good fundamental of the basics. The second get a bit more into the therapeutic applications of hypnosis. Both excellent books for starting, and he writes in a very simple, matter of face and practical way. As for other books? I'll mentions some authors, Dave Ellman, Ormond McGill, Milton Erickson, Charles Tebbets (Roy Hunter's mentor.) There are many more, but those are the ones that I think of right off the top of my head. Haven't done a lot of the video aspect, as most of my training has been face to face and/or reading (lots of it) Depending on the direction you want to go, there are many additional adjuncts that can be used in conjunction with hypnosis (or alone) such as NLP, EFT, Rekki, etc. Email me directly if you would like further information.</grin> You want to find a good training program… First look at the certification bodies.
