What's in a qualification?
The British Federation of Ethical Stage hypnotists stops it's members using 'letters' after their names because - according to an ex chairman - "There are no hypnosis qualifications that mean anything and none are 'recognised' by anyone in the real world of education."
I must admit I rarely use the one's I'm entitled to use - C.M.H., [UK] M.M.I.T., [USA] Member of the British Guild of Hypnotist Examiners. I don't bother mainly because so few people actually ask for them.
As we know some people have never done any formal training with anyone else, some even teach. There are titles you can 'buy' such as the Dr or PhD some people use, and there are in Britain alone around 157 different qualifications, and some people even sell qualification without any training.
I know one guy who has so many qualifications it fills two pages of A4 in his publicity [ makes you wonder if he ever finds time to practice :-) ]
Now I think it's important to train, or at least be open to learning others methods however, with so much abuse of qualifications going around is there any real value in having any? After all as I say to my students - no one ever got hypnotised by a qualification.

I know a handful of people using the term Doctor or Dr and selling their wares on the back of it. I think that's wrong. I've trained loads of people who have bits of paper but who can not get past getting a slightly relaxed sate and pursuading someone to sit there for an hour while they have a script read at them.
It's about qualifications. In my experience that can mean in need of training rather than trained, and that is sad.
I see your point though.
Just for the melting pot my teachers initially were a British Comedian and my main mentor was a Circus Knife thrower and still is a damn good Psychic Hypnologist. No piece of paper can qualify that.

Sharm is quite easy to use: If you pre-record your sessions. I use WavPad to record mine ahead of time. Any recording program works well, but I recommend a good microphone. I use Samson C01U USB studio. It may be a little more expensive but it's gre…

Thank you Scott,
That is my understanding, too--if there is a lawsuit they can only go after the business not the personal property. I am leaning towards starting as a sole proprietorship and converting to LLC as I complete the paperwork [which is…
Yeah!!!
I was a sole proprietorship for quite a while before I switched to an LLC. From what I understand (and I'm no legal expert) the real difference is just protection from lawsuits and bankruptcy. With an LLC it is a separate entity and not actually con…
This may be a long shot... but Faster EFT can be used on some people like that (I see no harm in trying)... tapping on them or leading them to tap on themselves for "the other person's problem" will end up helping them inside - what they might actua…
So am I Richard. It certainly wasn't deliberate. I don't even remember copying the link although I guess an errant paste must have put it there?
Can anyone tell me if Future Life Progression (mostly promoted by Anne Jirsch in her "Instant Intuition" book) is "patented" in any way or trademarked?
I got interested in that after reading her book. The idea is not as new as her book, but maybe sh…
