Hello Joel,
After reading everyone's comments as well as your responses to them, I would add some additional comments:
If you strongly wish to "practice" before getting training, LIMIT yourself to NON-therapeutic hypnosis only.…

Hi Connor,
With respect to Joel, I would personally not agree with Joel using hypnosis on people without proper training and mentor but I do see your point in regards to using his learnt skills for legal and ethical suggestions.
I have not had a…
Connor Wyatt replied to joelturner's discussion 'getting experience'
I agree that curiosity can make people do certain things 100%, so I think that as long as Joel keeps his suggestions legal and ethical there shouldn't be a problem.
Also I agree that proper training is essential for practicing as a registered…
Dennis Atkinson replied to joelturner's discussion 'getting experience'
I will add to the mix. Even a 3 day course that you mention will not prepare you for what you will encounter working as a hypnotist.
I would suggest completing a minimum of 300 hours in a comprehensive, hands on, live, in person school ... there…
AJ replied to joelturner's discussion 'getting experience'
Joel, I favor Michael E.'s thinking that live training with a certified instructor is extraordinarily important and add that several hundred hours of study and practice are needed for adeptness. And if your goal is to practice hypnosis on a…

Hi Connor,
You have given a very good example of 'robbing a bank'. You and I both know that it is possible to make certain people do something they do not want or wish to but are curious on conscious or subconscious level (and there was a…
Connor Wyatt replied to joelturner's discussion 'getting experience'
Could you clarify what you mean when you say about harm being done? I can't see the problem with him practicing and just giving basic suggestions like he said as even if he said something like "go and rob a bank" the person…
Mohammed Magsi replied to joelturner's discussion 'getting experience'
Hi Joel,
Wayne is right to say that harm can be done using hypnosis without prior training and knowledge. While training we were suggested some script books and other books to read but when it comes to working professionally, some of those scripts…
Connor Wyatt replied to joelturner's discussion 'getting experience'
Yeah I haven't had training and I get along well, I think you really have stumbled across the hypnotist's bible right there.
I didn't start by reading it but I have become ten times better as Elman was ahead of his time and maybe…
joelturner replied to joelturner's discussion 'getting experience'
thanks guys i'm kinda thinking about finding a training now but im gonna try to hypnotize some people first i think. theres no way i can hurt anyone so i might as well give it a shot as my suggestions would be for feeling refreshed etc at this…
Connor Wyatt replied to joelturner's discussion 'getting experience'
I second what John said about it being a harder road, I went down that road and funnily enough Elman's book is one of my favourite books, I think it's amazing even though it was written over 30 years ago. I would recommend practicing and…
Roy Hunter replied to joelturner's discussion 'getting experience'
Hello Joel,
In the late 1970's my interest in hypnosis skyrocketed after being helped personally by hypnotherapy. Although I did experiment on a few friends in 1981 and 1982 with some good results, it seemed apparent to me that I could not…
Cheryl Westley replied to joelturner's discussion 'getting experience'
Joel, please consider that the opinions you are receiving here ARE born of actual experience. And you DO get experiences in Live training courses... You are disagreeing with people who actually have the experience you are seeking. Don't knock…
joelturner replied to joelturner's discussion 'getting experience'
@ michael, its not that i cant afford it, i mean im by no means well off but i can afford it but many people seem to agree that elman's style of hypnosis is second to none (correct me if im wrong) and i dont want to go to a 3 day course as i am…
John Cleesattel replied to joelturner's discussion 'getting experience'
Perhaps I should have said... Free = no value?
John Cleesattel replied to joelturner's discussion 'getting experience'
I have been around enough "hypnotists" that haven't had any formal training. Like the rest of my reply said; it can be done but its just a longer, harder road. The school of hard knocks will still give you an education.
As always, I…
