Selecting A Hypnotherapist
The relationship between the hypnotherapist and client is an important one. A high level of trust and understanding between the two of you will increase the likelihood of success, so choose someone who:
-
Treats you as a unique individual and is perceptive of your needs
-
Is able to identify problem areas and to determine an appropriate scope of induction and treatment
-
Maintains objectivity
-
Does not allow his/her own agenda (or problems) to interfere with your treatment
-
Is respected by the medical & psychological community
-
Effectively handles surprises and emotionally charged situations
-
Respects your confidentiality
