As more people look for new and more natural
ways of healing themselves, or helping themselves actively
work toward better health, several careers in the health
industry are seeing a noted rise. One such career is
that of a hypnotherapist. Hypnotherapy evolved from
the studies and practice of the Austrian doctor Franz
Anton Mesmer, from whom we get the term mesmerize. Mesmer
practiced methods of hypnosis on clients in order to
produce specific results, which is what hypnotherapists
do today. Hypnosis is used in several medical environments,
including dentistry. It can help people to lose weight,
stop smoking, reduce stress and anxiety, relieve pain,
rid phobias, and help with depression and low self-esteem.
When a client is hypnotized, they are
placed in a state of focused relaxation. In this state,
the subconscious mind is more open to suggestion. The
client is in a state of consciousness somewhere between
waking and sleeping, and the hypnotherapist uses the
power of suggestion to implant messages in their mind.
The sessions will be more successful if the client actually
desires to be hypnotized, and desires a positive end
result.
Hypnotherapists may work in their own
private practices, or in a variety of clinics, hospitals,
or medical offices. Some are even employed in the medical
areas of large companies. Some practitioners may use
it in conjunction with their other careers, including
acupuncture, massage, psychotherapy, and nursing. The
outlook for this career relies on a number of factors,
including industry growth and location, but as the health
industry booms, is likely to grow quickly. Income also
varies on location and client base, but many hypnotherapists
are reported to make as much as $75 to $175 an hour
for each session, and have a yearly income of $75,000
or more.
If you are interested in a career in hypnotherapy,
there are several schools that offer certification courses
in hypnotherapy, most held to the standard of the ACHE,
or American Council of Hypnotist Examiners.
