HAS ANYONE EVER LOST WEIGHT USING HYPNOSIS?
I am very curious about this method, and if it really works. I am looking into it for my daughter. How did you find the hypnotist? Would you recommend it? Have you kept your weight off? How long did you have to go to get hypnotized?
Yes: plenty of people have used hypnosis to lose weight. it works and I have personally used hypnosis, but it does not work for most people. If it did there would be clinics on every corner. Also there are better and easier methods than hypnosis now available.
8 Important Questions to ask a Hypnotherapist
Since there is no specific education or training requirements, almost anyone can call him or herself a hypnotherapist. It’s best to contact practitioners that have been certified by The National Board for Certified Clinical Hypnotherapists, but finding a reputable practitioner is not easy. Even if you find one: Is she or he the right hypnotherapist for you? It will take time (and money) to find out.
Below are important questions you should ask:
1) Ask to see a list of see list success stories of people they have helped? This is the most important question. After all if they are advertising that they can help you: How many people have they actually helped? and can they verify it? Ask for references. Some may dance around the question by and giving you examples of how hypnosis has helped individuals lose weight or quit smoking. That’s great… What you want know is how many people THEY have actually helped.
Visit their websites to see if they have any testimonials. Since anyone can put up a bunch of fake testimonials on a website, see if they have video testimonials from credible sources or a Facebook Page where people actually post their own success stories. If they don’t have testimonials please be cautious.
2) A professional is always a member of an association. Find out which association they are affiliated with. Most associations will have a website. Check out the website and see if their name shows.
3) Ask your hypnotherapist how long he or she has been practicing?
4) How many hours of training did they receive in hypnotherapy?
5) Which institute did they train from?
6) Is the institute accredited? If so, nationally or at the state level, or does it have an international accreditation?
7) Is the institute recognized by the department of education?
If you’re not satisfied will you get your money back? I personally believe that if you provide a product or service that does not satisfy the customer give them their money back.
NOTE: Even though a hypnotherapist may be certified by an accredited board or institution they still have no real power: For example if you are practicing medicine and call yourself a medical doctor but are not licensed you’ll go to jail or prison. Not so for hypnotherapists, so you need to ask questions.
ADDITIONAL NOTE: If something does not feel right, then it isn’t. Trust your gut and VERIFY: For example if you are trying to lose weight (or even if you’re not) and your hypnotherapist is overweight, is it a good idea to use their services? This seems like common sense, but I have seen a few overweight hypnotherapists advertising weight loss hypnosis
If you are located in the USA check if they have a Better Business Bureau (BBB) Rating and are listed as an accredited business. Visit the BBB website to see if they have any complaints. This will also tell you how long they have been in business.
