Hypnosis Session vs. a Hypnosis App.
By Cheryl Beshada, C.M.Ht.
Why schedule a hypnosis session in person when I can download an app from my phone?
Many apps are available today, but if a certified professional hypnotist did not write the process, you could receive suggestions that may not be in your best interest. Many years ago, I was listening to a tape program for stress management. The program consisted of about ten cassettes. Some of them included written subliminal suggestions. Even though the program was written by a professional, the author wasn’t certified in hypnosis or knowledgeable in Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP). The suggestions were well-meaning but worded incorrectly so that the listener could be programmed in a negative way.
If you were taking a skydiving course, would you research various programs? Would you choose the best instructors and guides?
It is important to do your homework and ask the right questions:
· Is the hypnotist certified, and from what school?
· How many hours of training did they complete?
· Do they give hypnosis recordings for home reinforcement?
· Have they completed classes in script writing?
· Are they a member of a hypnosis group or organization?
There’s something to be said about personal style:
· Did you call a few hypnotists to compare?
· Did they answer your questions?
· Did you feel comfortable with the person you spoke with?
All of these are important to consider when choosing hypnosis therapy.
