the Free Hypnosis Social Network
Quality ???????
As recent addition to the San Diego community,I have been dumbfounded at the intense dilution that has taken place when hypnotherapists hyonotize me 'their' way. Why can't they just offer striaght hypnotherapy? I know it works, so why toss in all this mumbo-jumbo of other things that I didn't ask for! I'm looking for Certified Hypnotherapists in San Diego, with 700+ hours of training, preferably HMI grads who graduated over 3 years & who are currently seeing clients (even if on a part-time basis). Please call me at 619-252-2253.

I, personally... love how everyone has their way. sooo..... not sure, it might be... I'm not understanding the question. What is...straight hypnotherapy? Does straight mean: basic (what does basic mean?)? Or does it mean: Ericksonian? Or does it mean: Kappas method? Elman? What? Are you meaning... just do the induction, give suggestions and get out? Everyone has their own "straight". Some people love NLP, so... straight hypnosis to them would definitely include NLP. Heck, some people believe NLP and Hypnosis are two peas in the same pod - not ever to be separated. Some people love regression... some people love...anchors, reframes, metaphors, fast inductions, arm raise, etc. etc. So...depending on what their focus, understanding, and belief of the subject - determines what "straight" means to them. Right?
It doesn't make them wrong... just different.
When I visit or study with someone I go with the understanding that everyone comes with their own area of interest, their own paradigm, as well as their own...baggage. This tends to alter how they approach it. This, is a good thing. Helping me to see what I don't want to do as well as giving ideas on what is possible.
I am curious...what "other things" were thrown in..that were not asked for.
Please let me know how to understand the question better...
Thanks for the conversation!

I'm a little unsure of what you're looking for. Are you trying to hire hypnotherapists to work for you?
What exactly counts as mumbo-jumbo? Does handwriting analysis count? What about EFT or timeline therapy? NLP?

While I understand what you are saying, I think Donna brings up a great point. Who's version of Hypnotherapy are you asking for? It sounds like you are asking for HMI trained because you like their methodology. That's very valid and a great choice. That's not the same things as "quality hypnotherapy" though.
I bring this up because someone from a different school might say the same thing about HMI, or anywhere else. "Handwriting analysis? I just want hypnosis!" etc.
The beginning of wisdom is to call things by their right names. Presupposing that the way we are familiar with is the "right" way to do something makes it significantly more difficult to learn from someone with something new to offer.
I hope you find the person with the style and training you are after. Much more importantly, I hope you get the results you are seeking regardless of method used to attain them.
Good luck,
Scott

What is 'striaght hypnotherapy'?
Is it hypnotherapy as taught by the HMI?

Maybe it's the heterosexual version of sexual suggestibility?! LOL!

Have you tried explaining to those hypnotists in more detail what you expect? Since, as mentioned by others here, there are different perspectives on what is the "best" or "most effective" way, they might not even know what you really want, even though they might be perfectly willing to give you exactly that if you tell them more about it.

Wow! Thank you ALL for your feedback. Isn't it amazing how many different opinions and questions arise from one comment?
While I completely understand and appreciate all the different modalities which fall under the 'umbrella' of trance work, I think my surprise was that I usually (as a hypnotherapist myself) sort of get a feel for what my clients are into, or ready to accept. None of the ones I visited did this and went along doing their own thing, which took me by surprise. I will admit to being slightly biased towards favoring HMI grads more, because they would be speaking my language, but of course I am open to other modalities and techniques.
So... allow me to be more direct. Can any HMI graduate currently living in the San Diego area, who is still seeing clients contact me? I would really appreciate it. [My email: maureen.pisani@yahoo.com]
Wishing you ALL a great day, Maureen

Being familiar with a variety of methods is ideal. Unique situations require it. And you will be a better practitioner for doing so. The learning continues...

My way is to fit the technique to the client rather than vice versa...
In other words, I practice (and teach) client centered hypnosis.

Someone correct me if I'm misinformed, but isn't HMI the school that teaches only one induction?

HMI does not endose regression therapies. Do they use induction methods other than progressive relaxation? I hope so. If not, like to know how long their sessions typically last and the usual number of follow up sessions required for lasting results.

The Kappasinian method recommends utilizing a primary induction because it facilitates a deep Theta state. It also teaches several secondary inductions, with multiple deepeners that allow the hypnotherapist to guide the client into varying levels of hypnotic trance. This allows the therapist to personalize the session to each client's individual presenting complaint. HMI doesn't endorse current age regressions due to the 'false memory syndrome'. I am personally extremely appreciative of the training I recieved from HMI; it was thorough, pragmatic and effective.
