Stretch Your Mind: Hypnosis
Training
by Dr. William Mitchell
When you think of “hypnosis” do you think
of a funny stage show or a mysterious “Svengali”
hypnotist that mesmerizes people by saying, “Look
into my eyes”?
Dr. Joe Craig, an instructor for Mitchell Institute of
Professional Hypnosis writes, “Perhaps no other
therapeutic process is more misunderstood than hypnosis.
Today, we are becoming more and more accepting of alternative
or complementary forms of medicine, but are largely ignorant
of how hypnosis can help you get what you want in life.”
A Professional Hypnotist in private practice often charges
$75 to $200 an hour. A Stage Hypnotist often earns $500
to $5,000 per show. Hypnotists can use hypnosis to help
clients with stress, weight control, smoking cessation,
pain management, and psychotherapy. Many Hypnotists are
also nurses, doctors, counselors, massage therapists and
clergy.
While serving as a Christian pastor, I was introduced
to the powerful technique called hypnosis. When I started
using hypnosis with groups for weight control, it was
amazingly effective for hundreds of my clients. As I continued
to study hypnosis my practice expanded into 4 clinics.
In 2006, my staff secured approval from the State of Illinois
for a professional school of hypnosis.
At Mitchell Institute of Professional Hypnosis we believe
in Body, Mind, and Spirit. As an adjunct faculty member
at Southern Illinois University School of Medicine, I
teach medical students in the Complementary and Alternative
Medicine Course. I teach that mental, physical and spiritual
concerns can be integrated into clinical hypnosis.
Hypnosis is a natural state of mind and Christians believe
God’s creation is good. The Catholic Church and
all major denominations have approved the use of hypnosis
for medical and self-improvement purposes.
An individual may practice as a Consulting Hypnotist in
49 states after completion of my State Approved Certification
Training 101-103. Professionals in medicine or mental
health may also add hypnotherapy as a powerful tool in
their practice. For those interested in training in Hypnotism
