Need help making your best friend or your brother quit smoking? Or maybe help him ease up on his nasty habit of watching too much TV? Let’s try it through hypnotherapy. Again, you have to find a comfortable and conducive venue for the session. Guide him through until he starts to relax and be in tune with your slow and steady breathing. Have him focus intently on something.

Follow the relaxation and mind-clearing technique suggested above. Tweak it according to your goal and that is: convincing him that his health, career, and whole life will be a lot better once he kicks off his habit.
When he has thoroughly let go, start your “brainwashing “session. You may want props for this one. The first step is to fill up his mind with everything about his bad habit. If it’s smoking you want to curb, describe in great detail everything about cigarettes. Blow smoke directly to him. Let him smell some cigarette ashes, placed directly under his nose. Overwhelm him with cigarettes.

Then guide him into imagining how his life would be like without cigarettes – how he would smell, how his teeth would be rid of the stains, how his breath would smell better, how his coughing would discontinue, or how his lungs would be able to feel so strong and healthy. Let him compute how much he would save minus his cigarette budget. Let him imagine how the people important to him would react had he stopped smoking.

Let him linger on the thought – let him think how it would affect him on a long-term basis. Whenever he is ready, “wake” him up from the trance. That is it.

The popular representation of hypnosis is that of stage hypnosis, where hypnotists look for volunteers whom they lead to do bizarre, crazy things on-stage for sensationalism. However, the reality of professional, clinical hypnotherapy is very far from this popular image. Hypnosis is a recognised treatment for many types of problems and although a single, overall accrediting body does not yet exist in the UK, the practice of hypnotherapy is regulated by a number of bodies and professional associations relying on voluntary self-regulation of hypnotherapy professionals.

Training and Accreditation of Professional Hypnotherapists

The popular representation of hypnosis is that of stage hypnosis, where hypnotists look for volunteers whom they lead to do bizarre, crazy things on-stage for sensationalism. However, the reality of professional, clinical hypnotherapy is very far from this popular image. Hypnosis is a recognised treatment for many types of problems and although a single, overall accrediting body does not yet exist in the UK, the practice of hypnotherapy is regulated by a number of bodies and professional associations relying on voluntary self-regulation of hypnotherapy professionals. This means that a hypnotherapist who has studied at, or is affiliated to, these associations can offer verifiable credentials to his or her patients.

Many professional clinical therapists start their career in the NHS, from where they may move on to study for a diploma at an organisation such as the Institute of Clinical Hypnosis in London.

The Institute of Clinical Hypnosis was founded in 1994 and is one of the most prestigious training colleges for clinical hypnotherapists. A diploma from the Institute - such as a Professional Diploma or an Advanced Diploma in Hypnotherapy and Psychotherapy - means that the hypnotherapist is trained in a range of therapeutic skills for dealing with issues such as smoking, weight loss, phobias and all other common problems which hypnotherapy can generally treat successfully.

Hypnotherapy is a complementary type of treatment, so its aim is not to replace psychiatry or psychotherapy but rather, to work alongside other healthcare providers offering an alternative option. The British Institute for Integrated Medicine was founded in 1982 with the aim to offer the public information on safe practice and to put patients in touch with professional and qualified practitioners. So, affiliation with the Institute for Integrated Medicine means that a hypnotherapist has been acknowledged to be adequately qualified and can offer a professional service in safe settings.

Likewise, the Hypnotherapy Society acts as a professional organisation to maintain good standards in the field of Hypnotherapy. Some of its members have participated in setting up the new National Occupational Standards for Hypnotherapy. The Society actively encourages voluntary self-regulation for hypnotherapy. Its members are encouraged to undertake regular training and professional development work.

The General Hypnotherapy Register is the largest professional register of hypnotherapists in the UK and is the administrating agency for both the General Hypnotherapy Standards Council and The Central Register of Smoking Therapists. Registration to this professional body is voluntary. Its aim is to facilitate agreed standards in the profession, promoting universal criteria for the regulation of hypnotherapy.

The General Hypnotherapy Standard Council acts as a link between the hypnotherapy industry and the Department of Health. Similarly to the organisations described above, it actively promotes voluntary self-regulation for hypnotherapy professionals. It is linked to the General Hypnotherapy Register in that it oversees the criteria to join the Register and also sets the criteria for the validation of hypnotherapy training courses.

Finally, Hypnotherapy Direct is a web directory of professional hypnotherapists in the UK, so members of the public can use it to find a reputable practitioner in their area. As well as details of local hypnotherapists, it offers information on hypnotherapy itself and how it can be of help to treat a range of problems.

Professional hypnotherapists usually provide information about their training and the professional organisations they are members of to their current and prospective patients, in order for the patient to verify their credentials. Hypnotherapists who are affiliated to the network of professional bodies outlined above are in a position to offer their patients the guarantee that they are qualified, professional hypnotherapy practitioners who operate in a safe environment. Patients can also trust that the hypnotherapist's activity is monitored on a regular basis and that they have undergone adequate training to practice hypnotherapy.

So, although no single body for accreditation of hypnotherapists exists in the UK yet, professional associations are pushing in this direction and actively encourage voluntary self-regulation for hypnotherapists, until universal compulsory regulation for the practice of hypnotherapy is enforced. Insomnia is one of many common conditions that can be treated with hypnotherapy. Don Ely practices in both central London and West Sussex.
