Introduction
Softmind India is happy to announce Hypnotherapy Practitioner Courses.
The courses would empower the learner to plan, provide and monitor
comprehensive Hypnotherapy competence. The course is to have
affiliation with Association for psychotherapy and Hypnotherapy of India
The Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Government of India, vide its
letter no. R.14015/25/96-U&H(R) (Pt.) dated 25 November 2003, has
very categorically stated that hypnotherapy is a recommended mode of
therapy in India to be practiced by only appropriately trained personnel.
Hypnosis is recognized by the World Health Organization, British Medical
Council and American Medical Association.
Hypnotherapy is increasingly regarded by medical professionals as having
an effective complementary role. Scientific studies in the US and Europe
supports this view and have further established hypnosis as scientific and
effective therapeutic intervention.
Our hypnosis programs incorporate cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT)
into our therapeutic process which means that our candidates are able to
facilitate clients resolve problems. Vibrant psychotherapists like Milton
Erickson, Dave Elman etc who made hypnosis and its benefits a lifelong
study, and NLP founder Richard Bandler, are among the authors of this
dynamic approach whose influential work is featured in our training
programme.
Clinical practitioners complete our diploma course with a comprehensive
range of competence and expertise which they need to enable their
clients to achieve their goals. These changes are positive and often
dramatically life-changing. Change can be easier than you think through
hypnosis.
Hypnosis is an act of love ... permission to enter trance is an act of
love ….
