There is an examination test on completion of training period to be conducted at the course instructor’s therapy centre. The student will be examined and marked on both reading assignments and practical work undertaken.

THE PERSONAL QUALITIES REQUIRED TO BE A SUCCESSFUL HYPNOTHERAPIST

In all of my experience as a professional healer I have never given or implied a guarantee of any kind. I mention this because in writing this course a rare exception occurs. For I do give a guarantee to provide, in an easy to grasp language and step-by-step instructions, all that is needed for the student to produce outstanding healing achievements.

Healing that will amaze both the student in his/her role as therapist (Acting upon himself or another) and your client/subject, together with those who observe the results. To practice hypnotherapy the student needs only average intelligence, common sense and above all, a sense of commitment and conscientiousness. Additionally, he/she will be better equipped for his/her healing tasks if he/she is mature and has some wider experience of life. Other qualities or skills called for in bringing about change are patience and empathy.

The lack of genuine patience in a therapist will impede progress significantly or even result in failure. Genuine empathy considerably aids change. Lack of empathy does show in body language, voice and attitude. Any lack of empathy will be transmitted to your client/subject in one way or another through the aura, telepathically or simply through the clients/subjects other senses.

There also needs to be some sense of straightforward humour in the therapist. Reasonable diction is essential, and with no artificial speech or special patronising voices. He/she will need to be encouraging, sympathetic and non-critical, irrespective of his/her personal views, values and feelings. He/she will need only limited medical knowledge. Because the information studied is so comprehensive it would be perfectly legal and ethical for the reader to place R.P.H.H after his/her name, standing for ‘Registered Practitioner of Holistic Hypnotherapy.’ However, to justify doing so and in addition to the personal qualities set out above, he/she needs to fully grasp the essence of the entire course.

When students satisfy the examinational requirements of the course and are entitled to use the designation of RPHH & GHR after their name, they are then bound by the code of practice of the General Hypnotherapy Register (GHR.) These simple requirements are all that are needed, together with the essential insurance – take advice from a good insurance broker, or ask us. Anyone, I repeat anyone with these qualities can achieve excellent results and amazing successes, albeit, be no more able to give his/her clients/subject any more guarantee than the author can his, for regrettably failures do occur

A CAUTION

If you use the knowledge from this course to help someone, whatever is said by him is said in confidence and must be treated as such. This is natural to a professional hypnotherapist, but whilst this is a statement of the obvious, it might not be quite so apparent where you are one of a number of close friends who are normally quite open with each other. Even something seemingly trivial or funny could be perceived as immensely embarrassing or confidential to your subject.

This rule applies to subjects who are relatives – perhaps even more so. Please be conscious of confidentiality. Never use any knowledge acquired in helping someone to mock or ridicule them in any way. Your subject may not only never forgive you, but others will see in you the despicable for we all have hidden guilty experiences. Others will see any betrayal of the subject as a threat to themselves as well as reminding them of those guilty memories of their own. Subjects should also be fully cautioned in this respect.

INTRODUCTION

In February 1991 a sixty-five year old client arrived for her last session. Enthusiastically she was to pour out a lengthy list of wonderful changes and explain the new plans she had. Following this she began to heap her praises upon me. Suddenly she fell silent, collapsed into my chair and then cried profusely.

Shocked by her sudden dramatic change I encouraged her to tell me what was causing her to be so upset. It took some time before she could bring herself to speak and then she suddenly cried out, why didn’t I meet someone like you forty years ago – I’ve wasted my life haven’t I. initially I could say nothing but felt both sad and angry. For what she implied was entirely true, everyone she had consulted over the years had failed her.

Ever since the introduction of the National Health Service, (NHS) billions of pounds have been spent on funding it, with billions more having been spent on medical research. Despite this many common conditions such as allergies, diabetes, arthritis and hayfever persist which cannot be successfully cured but only treated.

Even then the treatment for some conditions has disastrous adverse effects. Among the many listed include liver, heart, kidney and stomach damage, strokes, heart attacks and even death. One notorious example was thalidomide, once a medicine prescribed for depression, anxiety, insomnia, migraine and asthma.

Lengthy hospital waiting lists seem to continue, and there is concern that the NHS could soon be overwhelmed, or that its operational costs may become too high to be supported from the national purse! In addition, such is the demand for their services that visiting a doctor for non-urgent consultations normally requires an appointment, and even then the earliest appointment available can be days ahead. Yet there are more qualified doctors in general practice today than ever before!

Something is clearly wrong and something must be missing from today’s conventional medicine but what? One vital clue is so outstandingly obvious that it defies any comprehension as to why it has not been previously realised.

This is found in one fundamental principle: the mind runs both itself and the entire body. At first this may seem a statement of the obvious, but it is not. Surprisingly, this simple but vital basic principle as the mind as a supreme factor seems neither to be taught as a major subject in medical training, nor given much consideration to by most doctors or psychiatrists in treating their patients!

Freud once wrote that when it comes to matters of the mind, most doctors and most psychiatrists are laymen! Sadly this seems almost as true today as it was when first written. In fact, not only is the medical world largely bereft of training in this area, but also as far as I can ascertain there seems to be no university offering the study of the mind as a degree course. ‘The mind’ cannot even be taken as a GCSE subject! Psychology is widely taught in many medical and educational institutions but not the workings of the mind, which is still a very different subject to psychology today, much as in the same way as Dentistry and Opthalmasy are different.

The point calls for clarification, in the concept of the mind’ it is the program of the brain which is referred to. It’s like comparing the brain with a computer – like the brain a tangible entity. Whilst the program within the computer has a real effect, in itself the computers program is invisible. As with the physical computer so it is with the physical brain and as with the computers program so it is with the mind in the brain.

The effects of the mind are largely apparent but the mind’s program is not. The mind as such seems to lack attraction to those who prefer a more ‘practical’ approach to medical matters

As a result in conventional medicine the mind’s effects on health are largely ignored and not fully understood

Because of this enormous gap in medical training and practice, many people with symptoms originating in the mind find their symptoms persistent or, to a greater or lesser extent, that they remain unresponsive to the prescribed medication.

As a result countless people continue to suffer and innumerable unnecessary operations are performed with countless billions of pounds wasted. Thousands of people have tests, which fail to identify the causes of their conditions, and thousands are forced to retire early, or left to become disabled or psychotic. Thousands lead dreadfully impaired lives, and many even die from this unforgivable oversight.

In fact where a symptom is the product of a mind condition, too often little or no help is available or even offered, other than to attempt to alleviate the symptom itself. Period pains, Eczema, Anorexia Nervosa and Irritable Bowels are just a few examples of symptoms commonly arising from the mind. Despite this however, in conventional treatment the mind is normally ignored as the principle area for healing.

When one looks to psychiatry for help with mind matters an equally bleak situation is normally found. Here we have the prime concern the brain, the in-depth observation of human behaviour, advice, drugs, electric shock treatments, operations and confinements, but with little or no consideration being given to treating the mind.

As a result psychological illness can often be the most protracted conditions of all to treat, and to relieve the pressure of demand patients have been returned to society from psychiatric hospitals while still mentally sick.

Then there are psychotherapists, a sort of half-way house between the psychiatrists and the hypnotherapists. Psychotherapy is directed at assisting with the release of neurotic conditions, and is in that sense is working on the mind of the patient.

However, Psychotherapists will often need patients to attend almost daily, and sometimes for years in the hope of achieving much in the way of beneficial effects. In some instances treatment will even last until the patient dies. This is largely because hypnosis, the key to the mind is rarely used. As a result the treatment can cost the beneficiary of the therapy thousands of pounds.

Lastly, although it should really be in the first instance, there is Holistic Hypnotherapy, which does deal directly with the mind, but by using the hypnosis key. In this hypnotherapy course the student will find all the knowledge required to understand the human mind, and how to use this hypnosis key to fill the gap in current medical practice.

For all of the conditions mentioned so far, and many others too, can successfully respond to Holistic Hypnotherapy and normally become permanently relieved, and all by using natural healing methods, and nothing more toxic than the sound of a humans voice, and even where little or no conventional medical knowledge exists.
