Reasons to Be and Benefits of Being a Hypnotherapist

Posted on March 18, 2014

1- Because it works!

People become hypnotherapists through CHTS because they experience for themselves hypnotherapy’s power to initiate change—change from the inside out. In spite of the false notion (from viewing stage hypnosis) that hypnotherapy involves mind control, those who try it often discover that it aids them to freely choose to change as they learn to control their own mind.

Hypnotherapy can bring important facts to mind, can reveal the false nature of exaggerated emotions, and can help us see errors in our views of ourselves and other people. It can show us how much freedom to take positive action we really do have. The happiness that comes from understanding and knowing our own minds, and controlling our own lives, makes us want to open the way for others to have the same empowering experiences.

2- To create a satisfying full- or part-time job

Hypnotherapy is one of the best educational investments you can make. Depending on where you live, you can earn $50 – $100 per hour or more. You will not spend years paying off loans used to learn these skills. Our classes are designed to help you certify and build up a hypnotherapy practice over time while still working at your current career.

An A.C.H.E. Clinical Hypnotherapist Certification, which is accepted in all 50 states, allows you to assist family, friends, and clients with positive changes they have always wanted to make while you achieve the personal goal of bringing in additional income

3- To enhance career performance

Hypnotherapists enjoy personal improvement while becoming part of the success of others. Managers, councilors, sports coaches, and executives become more effective at motivating others; massage therapists, nurses, and dentists use hypnotherapy for pain management. Hypnotherapy assists you in understanding inductive and deductive processing and managing the change processes required in your company, church group, or civic organization. You can become the “go to” person, the one who gets the job done.

4- To assist family members and other loved ones in personal problem-solving and making desired changes in behavior

Many families simply cannot afford to send loved ones into long-term treatment programs for problems such as smoking, insomnia, over-eating, or pornography. As a parent, grandparent, or other interested relative, you can learn clinical skills and then teach them to family members, increasing emotional self-reliance within the family.

Certified Hypnotherapy Training School is especially known for the proprietary techniques we call Spiritual Mind Management Hypnotherapy , offered as a specialty in our school curriculum. Teaching these techniques to your family members can make a difference in their lives for years to come.

Weeding the Garden of Your Mind of Double Mindedness

Have you ever asked, “How can anyone do such a thing to someone else, or to themselves?” Or, “Why do I keep doing what I do, even when I know I ought not to be doing it?” What are the keys to real behavioral change? How would learning the skills of behavioral modification being offered here change yours and your loved ones lives? What if you had the knowledge and skills to assist others to: control unwanted emotions, be free of pornography, have enhanced learning abilities and test taking relaxation skills, enjoy increased self-esteem and personal self-confidence, enhance sports performance, be free of fears and phobias, stop smoking, loose that unwanted weight once and for all, enjoy pain control reducing your pain levels, living a more enjoyable life, and change a mired of other personal behaviors and attributes for the best?

We want to teach you a key principle of positive behavioral modification and change as an example of our course work. We teach students and clients how to overcome double mindedness. James 1:8 says, “a double minded man is unstable in all his ways.” We propose the double mindedness spoken of here is the incongruent predominant thought thinking errors that we have logged in our subconscious mind, that are in opposition to the goal achieving desires that we have in our conscious mind . When we have incongruent thinking and opposite beliefs at our conscious and subconscious states of mind it creates opposing forces within us, “instability”. We want to move forward, achieve new goals, be our best self, consciously, and yet as we hold opposing incongruent thoughts and beliefs in the subconscious mind, we experience inhibitions, hesitations, and we procrastinate. We are unstable in all our ways!

There is an area between the two minds called the Critical Faculty or Critical Factor which is the area of our belief systems. It is a filter to the subconscious mind. When we do conscious critical, analytical, logical thinking, and we accept a thought as being right, true and correct for us, we allow it to pass through the critical factor into our subconscious functions of imaginations, memories, and emotions. Once the thought belief is in the subconscious it will generate a behavior. The extreme to which demonstrate the behavior depend on how much amplification of our imagination we apply to the thought belief, and how much justifying, validating data, we can come up with in our memories to prove to ourselves that we are right in our chosen belief. The amount of amplification and justification is the amount of emotional content we experience as our feelings, driving the behavior, because we behave the way we feel.

The “KEY” is that it requires hypnosis, trance, or pondering, (all three are synonymous to us) to penetrate the critical factor filter barrier and access the incongruent thinking errors being held in the subconscious. It requires skills and training in trance to know which hypnotic level (because there are six observable trance states that we utilize in hypnotherapy, and hypnotherapy is a general term which is descriptive of three major categories: Suggestion Hypnotherapy, Clinical Hypnotherapy, and Spiritual Mind Management Hypnotherapy) is going to work best to challenge and change the newly found thinking errors. Once these thinking errors are challenged and changed appropriately and brought into alignment with conscious goal driven thinking, being single-minded, people now move forward in life fulfilling their dreams and goals more rapidly than ever before imagined possible.

We use the metaphor that what we are doing is weeding the garden of our mind. Let’s say we have a major thinking error, a big weed in our garden. (I am not good enough, or smart enough, or capable enough, or pretty or handsome enough, and so forth.) In conscious or cognitive therapy, we may whack away at the leaves above the ground, we may break off branches, and with sufficient time, we might even chop it down to the ground with enough logical and analytical reasoning. But, without hypnosis or trance access to the subconscious root and the training to know how to actually pull the root all the way out, when the individual experiences a similar stimulating event that generated the behavior producing thought processes in the first place, the root is stimulated again and simply grows back, and so does the behavior. Such is the case with yo-yo dieting. So a major key to behavioral modification hypnotherapy is the ability to get to the root of problem thinking errors and overcoming double minded instabilities!
