Certified Hypnotist vs Hypnotherapist
A Consulting Hypnotist, a Certified Hypnotist, or a Certified Hypnotherapist? What’s the difference?
These titles are actually interchangeable, and represented by the suffix “CH“. For example: Erick Känd, CH.
Certified Hypnotists are Not “Therapists”
While still in use, the term “Hypnotherapist” can be misleading. It implies the practitioner is a licensed therapist.
But, most Certified Hypnotists are NOT licensed therapists. So, they’re NOT authorized to perform services designated for licensed mental health professionals.
Certified Hypnotists are Not Doctors
A Hypnotist is NOT a doctor. Consulting Hypnotists are NOT qualified to diagnose or treat medical issues.
Hypnotists DO collaborate with physicians via medical referrals. The doctor’s authorization allows for complementary hypnosis services that support your medical care.
Why Find a Hypnotist?
The mission of a Professional Hypnotist is to help people resolve everyday problems. Here’s a few of the typical issues that you can address with the help of a Hypnotist:
- Weight Loss
- Smoking Cessation
- Stress Management
- Self Confidence
- Pain Management
- Sleep Problems
- Fears
- Habits and Behavior Modification (Example: nail biting)
Motivated to make behavioral changes in your life? Hypnosis sessions are a worthwhile avenue to explore!
Hypnotist Directories
Google Search for Hypnotists in Your City
Do a quick Google search to see who pops up in your area? For example, I’d do a Google search for “Hypnotists in St Petersburg, FL“.
You MAY see a listing of the “top 3” Google Business listings for “Hypnotherapy service” in your area. If available, click on the “View all” link to see more local listings. If you’re in a big city, there will be several Hypnotists working in your area.
Google search isn’t your only option. There are several online directories to help you find a Hypnotist in your area. Let’s take a look…
National Guild of Hypnotists Referral Service
The NGH is the world’s largest association of practicing hypnotists. They maintain an international membership directory.

As with all professions, quality of training and experience varies. You’ll need to use your best judgement, and do your own research to find the right person for you.
Directory of 5-Path Certified Hypnotists
Top Hypnosis Training schools maintain directories of their graduates. Here’s one of the best:

Psychology Today Therapists Directory
Psychology Today magazine maintains a very broad directory of Mental Health Professionals. This directory contains Therapists, Psychiatrists, and Counselors of all types. SOME of these professionals offer hypnosis sessions as part of their repertoire.
Click Here: Psychology Today Find a Hypnotherapist
Most of the professionals listed in this directory are NOT trained hypnotists. So, here’s what you need to do to filter the results.
First, in the sidebar on the left side of the directory, look for the subheading “Types of Therapy“.
Underneath that, click on the option for “Hypnotherapy”. You’ll see filtered results showing ONLY professionals that offer hypnosis services.

Connor Marini
I’m trying to remember a song I had been singing a song I thought of quietly from 2014 and I can’t remember it ever since. Can a hypnotist help me remember all the lyrics that I sang in that song?
G Miller
A month ago I went on a trip. I ‘hid’ some valuables around my home for ‘safekeeping’. Since returning I’ve retrieved all except one which I can’t remember where I hid it. Would hypnotism be able to help me remember where I hid it?
Erick Känd
RE: FINDING A LOST ITEM | MEMORY RETRIEVAL
Forensic hypnosis is used by law enforcement to help victims recover details of the crime scene. Also, hypnosis is commonly used to help recover a lost or misplaced item.
Permanent memory is the realm of the subconscious mind, so hypnosis CAN be used to help you retrieve the memory of where you hid an item. However, if the item was somehow stolen or misplaced by someone else, then obviously you’d be out of luck.
Memory retrieval could take several sessions, and there’s no guarantee of success. You’d have to consider whether the desired item is worth the investment of time and dollars?
Shannon Pfuntner
Where can I call a Forensic Hypnotist or someone that deals with this? Memory retrieval to remember a crime?
Erick Känd
You don’t. Forensic Hypnosis is specialized set of techniques used at the discretion of law enforcement agencies to aid in the investigation and prosecution of a crime. The use of forensic hypnosis appears to be uncommon, and information gathered from a witness while in a hypnotic state might not be admissible in court.
Rex
It’s assumed that you can’t Hypnotize someone to do something that crosses a “moral block”, ie: Hypnotizing someone to “assassinate” someone, or having a guy hypnotized to dance on stage if he believes it is morally wrong to dance in public. My question is, if someone has the strong belief that being hypnotized or hypnotism is fake or impossible. Can they be hypnotized?
I’m just wondering if that’s why I can’t seem to be hypnotized, or at least go into deep trance. I want to believe I can be hypnotized, but every session I have ever had has ended with no effect. I felt relaxed, but never felt as if I were in trance deep enough to be effective of anything more than imagine yourself doing this or imagine that you are on a beach. But not deep enough to actually jump around in excitement because I think I’m at an amazing concert or that I can’t remember the number 5 like you see in “Stage Hypnosis”.
Can I get hypnotized to pass my belief that hypnosis is fake? I’m hoping hypnosis can finally work to help with my sleep! I go stir crazy not being able to sleep! I have heard sleep hypnosis works and would like to think it can help me no success so far.
It’s almost as if I need proof that it works, for it to work on me. As if I need my missing finger experience to happen in order for me to believe that I can be hypnotized to help me sleep. Do you have an answer or thoughts on this issue?
Erick Kand
Not everyone has the stellar creative imagination and focus required to make them a good candidate as a stage hypnosis volunteer. However, the trance required for self-improvement interventions has nothing to do with what’s required for a stage entertainment. Your perspective on this is a bit like saying, “I’m an introvert, but I need proof that I can be a raging extrovert in order to believe I can be more confident.”
Instead, you might want to pursue hypnosis sessions with someone who is a specialist with sleep issues. Make sense? Skepticism about hypnosis is not an issue. In fact, it’s expected from the general public. Hypnosis and neuroplasticity go hand in hand. There is so much research to support it at this point, we can just chalk it up to the general public being uninformed.
Just go into your sessions with an “empty cup,” willing and motivated to follow instructions. It’s the specific emotions and beliefs around your ability to fall asleep that need to be addressed, not your attitude about whether hypnosis is fake. You clearly have some hope that it can work for you, otherwise you wouldn’t be pursuing it in the first place?
Bottom line: Find a more suitable hypnotist for your personal situation.
Elsa E Thompson
I have had similar experience. I have no less than 4 what I call ‘failures’ at attempts to be hypnotized. Part of it I think is my failure to let go, being an ’empty cup’ or going in as an ’empty cup’. But I yearn to be helped.
Vanessa
I was sexually abused around 4-5 years old by my own father. I want to remember the things that happened to me. I also sometimes have weird smells and I feel like I am in danger or someone is coming after me. This happens rarely but I want to know if it ties to sexual abuse or something else that happened in my childhood. I really need to know who can help me restore my memory and who will help me discover everything that happened no matter how bad it is.
Erick Kand
As discussed previously in the comments…
That type of memory recovery is not a good application for hypnosis.
RE: CHILDHOOD MEMORIES
Searching for “answers” and “closure” energizes a fixation on the past. A Consulting Hypnotist can help you with present day problems as well as the release of grievances and anger (aka putting the past behind you where it belongs).
IMPORTANT: Memories are fragile and not necessarily an accurate representation of “truth.” False memories are easily created. This is especially true if you have an expectation of finding something.
You cannot change something that’s already happened, and it’s not necessary to “face your past.” Wanting things to be different is the cause of suffering. Inner peace and healing comes from RELEASING the past.
Dylan Peterson
It’s great that hypnotists can help you with self-confidence and stress management. My wife has been really busy with work recently, and I want to make sure that she can unwind and relax. I’ll be sure to let her know about this so that she can look further into her options for hypnosis in the future.
Sherry Warenecki
Something happen to me in August. I have no memory of it, and I was hospitalized for 5 days due to what happened. I need to know what happened to me because I have a fear of going out.
Erick Kand
It’s not necessarily relevant to learn “what happened” in order to address your presenting problem which is, “fear of going out.”
Lisa Stewart
I have been studying the law of attraction. Can hypnosis help with getting things onto my subconscious mind?
Erick Kand
Absolutely! Most “Law of Attraction” creative visualization methods are actually different methods of self hypnosis.

Laura Marble
I am in need of losing weight. I have tried everything and nothing has worked. I thought maybe hypnosis would be a option. I am open to anything and my doctor said I am not eligible for any surgical treatment. Where can I find one in my area?
Erick Kand
Take another look at the article above. You’ll see there are links to two online referral services that may help you find someone in your area.
Also, just do a Google search for “Hypnotists in YOUR CITY”
Finally, you can reinforce your sessions with a Weight Loss Hypnosis Audio Program.
R Burke
I contacted the National Guild of Hypnotists at your suggestion. They recommended two people: The first was a Psychic and numerologist. The second listed herself as an artist and Feng Shui specialist. Neither mentioned hypnosis whatsoever. One was local, the other 20 miles away. I then did my own search and found half a dozen licensed and certified with 3 miles of me. Why do you recommend NGH?
Erick Kand
That is certainly disappointing. The NGH has a lot of outstanding Hypnotists among it’s members, but it sounds like the referral directory may need some housecleaning!
You did the right thing to do a regional search for your area. In today’s marketplace, I wouldn’t consider someone who didn’t have a professional looking website dedicated exclusively to their hypnosis practice. First impressions are important.
Leslie Marrese
I need to find a hypnotist who treats extreme anxiety. I see a therapist/counselor, and a psychiatrist. I’m on many meds for anxiety, depression chronic pain and bipolar disorder. The anxiety is out of control and making me sicker. I am desperate for help and can’t even sleep.
Erick Kand
DEFINITELY take a look at the FearCureCourse. Very targeted techniques to help you conquer problems with anxiety.
Belinda Caputo
I’d like to both quit smoking and lose weight. I would like to completely quit smoking, but every time I do I start to eat. I’d like to eat healthy so I can lose weight. Can both of these be done at the same time?
Erick Kand
RE: Smoking + Weight Loss
Start with the smoking cessation and get that completely handled. You’re either a nonsmoker, or you’re not. Then start working on a weight loss protocol, which will likely require several sessions over time. Also, you’ll want to address the anxiety that’s driving the compulsive smoking and eating.
Peggy
I need to be hypnotized to quit smoking. I have COPD, and I need this really bad. I’m 55 yrs old, and I lost my mom to this disease when she was 59. Please help me.
Erick Kand
In most areas, it’s fairly easy to find a local Hypnotist that specializes in smoking cessation. If you’re open to remote online video sessions, set up a strategy call with me to become a nonsmoker. https://HypGuru.com/call/
Nichole Jordan
My 10 year old daughter has a motor tic / habit cough where she coughs every 12-15 seconds the entire time she is awake. No medications are helping, she has lost 13 lbs in 4 weeks due to this coughing and inability to control it. She can’t go to school or really in public. Do you think hypnosis could help?
Erick Kand
RE: COUGHING TIC
It’s certainly worth a try. Hypnosis has been used successfully for coughing tics and even hiccups.
Judy Stahl
My husband is in physical therapy rehab after an extended illness. He is fearful to stand and uses a walker (he says he is weak). Would hypnosis help him gain confidence?
Erick Kand
Hypnosis can be used to build Self Confidence, and it can also be targeted to specific fears and phobias.
Angela
Hypnosis to get over a heartbreak that’s been haunting me?
Erick Kand
RE: HEARTBREAK
We’ve covered this in previous comments. This can certainly be done with hypnosis or even the Meridian Tapping techniques taught in my FearCureCourse.
Gary
I definitely need help in getting over a crucial heartbreak.
Also have a chronic problem with being late, as I have a busy schedule. People are never understanding, and always point this out to me, which can be daunting.
Pamela
I have a question I was addicted to drugs for 7 yrs I’ve been sober for 5 yrs now but when I’m by myself and my husband & kids are asleep all of a sudden I will be having a flash back of where I was what happened I just want it to stop I don’t want to remember any of it will bring hypnotized help me I just want to forget it makes me feel horrible and I feel ashamed and a lot of guilt. Since getting sober I’ve gotten married to my sole mate I have my family back and this is tearing me apart because I can’t talk to anyone Please help…..
Erick Kand
RE: HEALING TRAUMAS
It’s not a matter of “forgetting.” The correct course is to heal the various traumas so that the memories no longer have any painful intensity whatsoever. Yes, that is possible. I would definitely explore Meridian Tapping therapy.
Katey
I caught my boyfriend with another girl at a bar a couple weeks before our child was born. They work together so they always see each other. He told me he has been seeing and talking to her for months. He says he wants to be with me but is confused on what he wants. Can hypnosis help him figure out what he wants and help him to be happy with our relationship again?
Erick Kand
RE: GETTING SOMEONE ELSE TO CHANGE
I’m always reluctant to answer inquiries from someone who wants help “fixing” someone else. I know you’re seeking solutions, but don’t expect a simple answer for this one. My instinct is that you may first want to consider couples counseling to get your levels of communication where they need to be. The hypnosis path is most suitable for people who clearly know what they want, but are struggling to make it happen.
Taiesha Williams
I want to stop biting my nails and my fiance needs motivation to do his art. Would this be good for us?
Erick Kand
RE: NAIL BITING
Hypnosis is commonly used for behavioral modification with great success. This includes nail biting. Hypnosis will also address the underlying anxiety that fuels the behavior.
Erick Kand
RE: MOTIVATION
Hypnosis can help uncover and resolve hidden emotional issues that are sabotaging the natural motivation and enthusiasm for activities that used to inspire passion.
Carolyn Lozier
I think this is one that I’ve got some relation to, my husband and I split up & after 20 years I’m ready to move on but the break was a bad one and I’m having a hard time moving forward and would just like to forget or not go through any more pain it is putting a hold on my kids recovery of the whole situation and I don’t need the pain Or want to hang on to it anymore
Denton Dunn
I’m curious if this works in helping me to remember something of my past to see if it was a real occurance or not. I’ve been seeing UFO’s alot all of my life and I think I may have been abducted at one time and I need help to see if it was real or not.
Erick Kand
RE: REVIEWING PAST MEMORIES TO CONFIRM A SUSPICION
That type of memory recovery may not be a good application for hypnosis. Memories are fragile and not necessarily an accurate representation of “truth.” False memories are easily created. This is especially true if you have an expectation of finding something.
John
What if I was just trying to recover the name of a man that molested me. I have repressed these feeling, where when and how. Now I have an opportunity, to bring this matter forward.
Thank you, John
Erick Kand
You don’t need a name. You need to feel better. Use hypnosis to help neutralize the traumatic emotions surrounding the event(s).
Louise Palovitch
My brother has chased me with dead black widows as we grew up. When cleaning out the shed, there was a black widow hanging from my shoulder. I just started to scream and hit on myself. A year ago I saw one in the kitchen and thought I was going to have a heart attack. I’m 72 years old, and I don’t want to die due to a damn bug. I won’t go outside at night, I am constantly freaking out when I go though webs. Can this type of procedure help me.?
Erick Kand
RE: FEARS and PHOBIAS OF ANY TYPE (including fear of SPIDERS).
This is a common application for hypnosis. People have resolved phobias of all types with great success. You are also a good candidate for the FearCureCourse.com
Mary
Two years ago I had surgery and since then I have had a fear of heights and driving, I cannot no longer fly or go over bridges or up and down stairs. I have tried acupuncture and that did not work. Is there any help for me?
Erick Kand
RE: FEARS AND PHOBIA (ALL TYPES)
Any type of phobia is a solvable problem! Effective modalities are Hypnosis, NLP, Meridian Tapping, or take the FearCureCourse.com which combines all three!
CHRISTINA PIPKIN
I am having trouble passing a test to finish my degree. I have taken this test 8 times and I cannot pass it will hypnosis help me pass it?
Erick Kand
RE: PASSING EXAMS
I’ve helped law students with hypnosis to successfully pass the bar exam after they’d previously failed 1-2 times. In those cases, it was test anxiety that was causing them to perform poorly.
Sidney Rudd

Erick Kand

Lourdes
I had a boyfriend when I was in high school 50 years ago. We were only together for two years but I consider him as the love of my life. Now, I’m in my twilight years and I still think of him every single day from the moment I wake up to the time to sleep. He became an obsession. Can hypnosis completely ERASE him from my mind? I’m suffering everyday because of him. Without him in my memory, I will be a very happy person.
Erick Kand
RE: ERASING MEMORIES OF PAST RELATIONSHIPS
Imagine if you could think about him with a completely NEUTRAL response? The solution is NOT to erase memories. Instead, it’s more desirable to release the negative and/or obsessive emotions you’ve associated with this person and these memories. This can certainly be done with hypnosis or even the Meridian Tapping techniques taught in my FearCureCourse.
Sandra Bonnot
I need help managing memories of childhood abuse, and a past relationship that ended badly. I’m wondering what your fee is, and what services are offered for those fees.
Erick Kand
Hi Sandra,
You can use the resources in this post to find a local practitioner in your area. Most of them will give you a free phone consultation to discuss your goals and their fees.
SACHIN
Is it possible to leave the gambling, borrowing, and drinking habits with hypnotism?
Erick Kand
RE: ADDICTIONS
Those types of issues are basically addictions that are fueled by ANXIETY. If you’re motivated, sincere, and committed, then hypnosis can help you break the emotional and behavioral cycles that perpetuate the problems.
Sue Stewart
I’ve been using slot machines as a form of stress relief and companionship. I need help in limiting this as it has become a problem in my life. I have an addictive nature.
Chris James
I cannot get over the ending of a relationship that ended 15 months ago. I still feel like I will never find another girl like her and it continues to consume me. The worst is that I caused the breakup and still just can’t forgive myself for doing that. I’ve tried dating other women but I eventually fall back into a state of depression over this loss. Would Hypnosis be able to help me let go of my feelings for her and allow me to move on?
Erick Kand
RE: HEALING FROM BROKEN RELATIONSHIPS
Absolutely. I’ve worked with several people to help them get over past relationships with great results.
Jordan
I’ve been suffering with mesaphonia for many years now. I can’t eat with my family because as soon as I hear a fork scrape on their teeth or if they eat something a little crunchy it sets off a flame of anger inside of me. It’s torn relationships of mine apart because when I hear these noises that bug me I give dirty looks without realizing it, and I say things I do not mean. I don’t want to be alone for the rest of my life because I can’t handle everyday noises! I want to have kids one day but who knows what I might say by accident to them if they eat. I really want this to go away, I can’t even go to the movie theatre because of all the popcorn crunching. Please let me know if hypnosis would work.
Erick Kand
RE: MISOPHONIA
My understanding is that misophonia is a form of anxiety that gets triggered in specific situations. We can break this complex problem down into distinct components that CAN be helped through hypnosis sessions:
– Anger,
– Anxiety and Stress,
– Fear of the next outburst and/or being “out of control,”
– Neutralizing the subconscious triggers that are triggering the reactive behavior.
Hope that helps, Jordan!
Carlene
I had to go to the hospital, and I took my wedding rings off as well as 4 other rings and an ankle bracelet. I put them in a small zip lock bag and hid them. I have been looking for them for 1 month I cleaned out all of my room from top to bottom cleaned out almost everything in my house. My husband and I have been looking every day. My memory is not the greatest. I hid money about 4 years ago and never found it. My husband is getting very unhappy with me. Can hypnosis help me find my jewelry?
Erick Kand
RE: FINDING LOST ITEMS / MEMORY RETRIEVAL- This has already been covered in the previous comments.
Adam
Can hypnosis help me learn another language
Erick Kand
RE: LEARNING LANGUAGES
If you’re asking if hypnosis can enable you to learn another language with little or no effort, then the short answer is, “No.”
Hypnosis can certainly help with Memory and Concentration Improvement.
Also, this article has information about trance states for optimum learning.
Tracy
I keep having reoccurring haunting dreams of being molested and raped as a child ever since around the age 10. I am now 34 and still having these dreams. It’s gotten so bad that I have dreams that it’s happened to my children. I’ve been having mental health issues since I was 7-8 years old. When I was 12, my doctor thought I was sexually active because my hymen was torn, I was not. My mother had lots of “boyfriends” while she was still with my dad. They would get into arguments, and she would drag me along on her sexcapades. I just want answers and closure so I can finally move on with my life. Would hypnotherapy help me?
Erick Kand
RE: CHILDHOOD MEMORIES
Wanting things to be different is the cause of suffering. Searching for “answers” and “closure” energizes a fixation on the past. A Consulting Hypnotist can help you with present day problems as well as the release of grievances and anger (aka putting the past behind you where it belongs).
Also, read my response to the previous comment which is also inquiring about childhood memories.
Tereeseia
I have a bad half of a childhood memory but I can’t remember everything it bothers me a lot as I get older any advice?????
Erick Kand
RE: CHILDHOOD MEMORIES
Memories are fragile and not necessarily accurate representations of the truth. You cannot change something that’s already happened, and it’s not necessary to “face your past.” Inner peace and healing comes from RELEASING the past. Put your energy into the problems, concerns, and passions of the present moment.
Wayne Dove
I had “evil” paranormal experiences as a child, which I relate to using an Oujia board. Today I have depression and panic attacks. I believe there is a correlation. Is Hypnosis a wise idea in my situation?
Erick Kand
RE: NEGATIVE PARANORMAL EXPERIENCES
Find a Consulting Hypnotist, and they’ll arrange to get a referral from your physician to work with you on the depression and panic problems. Don’t be attached to your belief about a correlation with specific childhood experiences- it may or may not be relevant.
Mark
Look up Neil Anderson, Phd. he is an author and a counselor in California. He addresses the issues books pertaining to “evil spirits”, He has helped me and countless people.
Robert
My friend had minor stroke a few years ago. His major issue is that his brain is not sending signals to block pain in left leg (painful because of natural spinal degeneration which is affecting the nerves in the leg, the back no pain). Can hypnosis help him in this case?

This was already covered in previous comments.

For as long as I can remember I’ve never gone out of my comfort zone. Not confident in my self and too afraid to go to college or be on my own in life. Meaning I still stay with my mom. Can I be helped?
Erick Kand
RE: SELF DOUBTS | CONFIDENCE
Absolutely. Anybody that WANTS to be helped, can be helped. If you have the resources, you’d probably find hypnosis sessions very beneficial. Also, check out the Fear Cure Course for real world techniques to overcome your self doubts and get courageous!
Ashley
All my life i have had anxiety and a fear of being alone and horrible vivid night mares about possesion can hypnoses help me??
Erick Kand
RE: ANXIETY | FEAR OF BEING ALONE
Hypnosis sessions would be a good fit for this. Sounds like you would also be a good candidate for the FearCureCourse.
Kit
I have some bad memories from my past that pop up in my head from time to time, they are very emotional and unhappy memories. Could hypnosis help me stop them and make them kind of disappear?
Erick Kand
RE: ERASING “BAD” MEMORIES
The idea of “erasing bad memories,” as some clients request, is pointless. The more desirable alternative is to NEUTRALIZE the painful emotions associated with those memories. That way, you have all the learnings from the life experience without the continued anguish and suffering. There are a few modern therapeutic techniques to achieve this quite rapidly:
– Hypnosis,
– Meridian Tapping, aka The Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT),
– Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP)
The “best of the best” protocols from these fields that can actually be self-applied are included in the FearCureCourse.
Janet
I also have this problem and I find it more and difficult to live with. I need professional help to get me through this dramatic past experience that I am very a shamed of. Please advice me of what I should do.
Erick Kand
RE: SHAME
Go see a Consulting Hypnotist, an NLP practitioner, or an EFT coach. Each of those professionals will be able to help you resolve the intensity of those emotions. Also, check out the FearCureCourse.

I would like to change my eating habits, I don’t like vegetables but would really like to eat them so that I can have a healthy diet. Is this something that hypnosis can help on?
Erick Kand
RE: CHANGING EATING HABITS
Behavioral modification. The answer is, “Yes!”
Nidhi
Can hypnosis help me to control my anger?
Also Can it help me re-program my mind to eat differently then what I do now? Like helping me to cut on sugary products.
Erick Kand
RE: ANGER & RESENTMENT
Consult the 5-Path Hypnotist Directory mentioned in the post. These practitioners have an excellent protocol for working through anger issues.
As for weight loss and behavior modification, that seems to be the most popular reason people work with a Consulting Hypnotists. I guess everybody want to lose some weight?!

I would like to find a legitimate hypnotist for anxiety and panic attacks. I have suffered for forty plus years.
Erick Kand
RE: ANXIETY & PANIC ATTACKS
Everything you need to find a “legit” hypnotist is right in this blog post!
The Emotional Freedom Technique is also very effective for anxiety and panic attacks. Look into it, there’s no need to continue suffering!

Hello I am seeking help for chronic PTSD. I have been suffering with this for over 45 years. Any suggestions you can give me would be helpful appreciate. Thank you
Erick Kand
RE: POST TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER (PTSD)
There are two Non-Hypnosis treatments I like that are proven to be very successful for PTSD:
1) The NLP Rewind Technique, and
2) Meridan Tapping Therapy.
FYI- I’m teaching the step-by-step, self application of both these techniques in the Fear Cure Course.
Bob Michalski
My wife sufered a severe stroke and thankfully making a recovery. However, she has recall, retention, speech and motor shills deficiencies. Are there any Hypnotist that an accelerate her recovery ?
Erick Kand
RE: STROKE RECOVERY
I think it would be worth your while to open up a dialogue with a local hypnotist to discuss hypnosis as a complement to her physician’s care. Hypnosis can help with the stressful emotions and keep her focused on a positive mental expectancy for healing. Also, take a look at these case studies on the use of hypnosis to accelerate recovery of motor function:
Hypnosis for Stroke Rehabilitation Case Studies
Lin Gee
We am flying out to Florida in September this year & all though I’m not scared of flying I am terrified of being stuck in a aeroplane for 9 hours I get very claustrophobic in closed spaces, we have flown to Cyprus many times and I have had panic attack’s if I get hot and I feel as if I cannot breathe,
So I am wondering if being hypnotised could help me. The thought of it is scaring me to death so please would it help me thank you.
Erick Kand
RE: FEAR OF FLYING | CLAUSTROPHOBIA
A Consulting Hypnotist will be able to help you with issues relating to fears and phobias including the problem with closed in spaces you describe. You could also benefit from another type of therapy called The Emotional Freedom Technique
You can learn how to use this technique with the Fear Cure Course.

Can it help me with being motivated to excerise? I had surgery last year to get my ACL re built and I ended up gaining more then 100 lbs. I want to increase my chance of getting the fat back off.
Erick Kand
RE: WEIGHT LOSS | EXERCISE
The answer is “yes,” BUT I want to clarify something. OF COURSE, exercise has mental and physiological benefits. However, if you want to lose weight/fat, 80% of your results are going to come by changing the composition of what you eat. Make sure that you focus on nutrition as the priority if you want to actually get rapid results for your stated outcome. For a fun research assignment, do a web search on these phrases:
1) “You can’t outrun a bad diet.”
2) “Abs are made in the kitchen.”

Can hypnosis help eliminate nervous tic?
Erick Kand
RE: NERVOUS TICS
No one knows for sure what causes a nervous tic, but it seems to be a subconscious response that can be exacerbated by stress. It’s commonly known that hypnosis can help with general stress levels:
Stress Management Hypnosis
Additionally, physiological problems like facial tics, stuttering, and blushing are often responsive to targeted hypnosis treatments. I think it’s worth your while to look into it.

I was wondering if this would help me with claustrophobia and also help me deal with stress from my job and problems losing weight. Thank you for your time

RE: STRESS | WEIGHT LOSS | CLAUSTROPHOBIA
Stress and Weight Loss are two of the most common reasons to have live sessions with a Consulting Hypnotist. Hypnosis works fantastically well for extreme fears like claustrophobia.

I was raped as a child. There are things that are missing in my memory. I want to know who raped me. I need to know the truth. People may say this will be bad, but put yourself in my shoes. People telling you one thing when it may be something else.

RE: CHILDHOOD MEMORIES
Just be aware that memories are fragile. There’s no guarantee you are going to uncover the “truth.”

My daughter suffers from anorexia and depression could this help her?
Erick Kand
RE: ANOREXIA | DEPRESSION
Absolutely. Hypnosis can be very effective for addressing these types of real problems at an emotional level.
Dorothy
I think my son could benefit from this kind of help . He is an alcoholic. His self esteem is very low at times.
Erick Kand
RE: ADDICTIONS | SELF-ESTEEM
That’s true, Dorothy. There’s no point in “pushing” treatment on someone who does not yet feel that they have a problem. However, if your son desires some options, he can seek out a hypnotist that works with drinking issues.

I did something a year ago in bookkeeping at the small business where I work. It made perfect sense at the time, but I cannot remember the reason now. Can hypnosis help me retrieve the memory?
Erick Kand
RE: FINDING A LOST ITEM | MEMORY RETRIEVAL
Forensic hypnosis is used by law enforcement to help victims recover details of the crime scene. Also, hypnosis is commonly used to help recover a lost or misplaced item.
Permanent memory is the realm of the subconscious mind, so hypnosis CAN be used to help you retrieve the memory.
However, it’s possible this could take several sessions, and there’s no guarantee of success. You’d have to consider whether the desired item is worth the investment of time and dollars?
Cheryl Smith [Melvin, husband]
My husband went missing for three days. Police found him, and took him to the hospital. The car is still missing. He says he knows where it is, but he doesn’t know how to get back there. He had ran out of gas, was lost, and walking for those days with no food or money. He said he tried to put the car in a place where it wouldn’t be noticed or bothered. Police still have the tag # in the system but nothing has turned up as yet. He is a former alcoholic but not drank for months. He has gotten lost several times before, but I’ve always found the car. Neurologist said he doesn’t have dementia or Alzheimer’s, but alcohol has caused memory loss due to the excess amounts and length of time that he did drink. Would hypnosis help? We can’t afford much but we also can’t afford another vehicle at our age. What do you think?
Erick Kand
Using hypnosis for memory to recover a lost item could take several sessions, and there’s no guarantee of success. Putting hypnosis aside, there are modern alternatives to owning a vehicle worth considering, like Uber or Lyft services.
Melissa
My 14 year old daughter has no self confidence. She has been in orchestra for a year, and does very well, until she has to perform in front of an audience. Can hypnosis help her gain confidence?
Erick Kand
RE: SELF CONFIDENCE | PEAK PERFORMANCE
GREAT application for hypnosis sessions! Some of the potential variables that can be addressed with hypnosis are:
– Conquering fears (such as stage fright, performance anxiety),
– Building confidence and self esteem,
– Success visualization: Mentally rehearsing positive outcomes to create the expectancy of success.
