CLASSES: Hypnotherapy

QUESTION: Hi Ms Satin, I am very interested in participating in the clinical hypnotherapy course but I do have a few questions I want to ask before making my final decision.
One of my main concerns about taking this course is that it might not be a class that would be right for me but I do have a great interest in Hypnotherapy and in getting a certificate to practice it. I understand that to be a successful hypnotherapist you have to be very good at not only marketting yourself but also must be very confident, assertive, and have good communication skills. I myself however sort of am lacking in these traits but am trying my best to improve on them. What I am getting at is that I want to know whether I can take your Hypnotherapy course and still be able to hone the skills needed to be a hypnotherapist? I also have memory difficulties and would like to know if being a hypnotherapist requires good memory?

My second concern is a minor one, I just simply wanted to know what days the class will take place. Is this a two day course as it appears to be or are the classes longer than two days?
Lastly I wanted to know if you could give me some info on what it takes to be a legitimately working hypnotherapist. Are there any governmental regulations?

Thanks so much for reading my inquiry.

ANSWER: Thank you for contacting us about the Hypnotherapy Certification training. The training includes 12 days of class, and the days are June 5-6, July 10-11, July 17-18, Aug 20-21-22, Sep. 4-5-6.For more details about class content, you can visit www.californiahypnosis.us and see the curriculum for Hypnotherapy Level 1, 2, and 3. You can also call in to Satin Crystals Tues-Sun 12-6pm and ask for me (Lisa).

We actually have a portion of the class that is devoted to advertising and promoting yourself. We also discuss how to build rapport and draw in clients during the Training Course. You don't need to be a salesperson to be a hypnotherapist, but you do want to know how to communicate with clients and potential clients.

No, you do not need to have a good memory to be a good hypnotherapist. You will be recording your clients' sessions so you can always go back and listen. You may also jot down important notes during a session so you can look back on them upon subsequent sessions. Although some states have government legislation for Hypnotherapy, there is no such thing in California for the time being. However, in our network of healers all hypnotherapists have need certified by accredited institutions, and it could be dangerous to attempt hypnotherapy without proper education.

I hope you will join us for the training.

To register, please call Satin Crystals any time Tues-Sun, 12-6pm or come into our store!

Thank you, Lisa Satin
