Hi all,

Has anyone had any luck with a hypnotherapy home study course?

I trained through a school and have always been skeptical of any hypnotherapy home study course that I have seen offered all over the net and in magazines...

So, have you taken a hypnotherapy home study course that has helped you to train as a professional hypnotherapist?

Or, do you disagree with a person practicing hypnotherapy after studying only a hypnotherapy home study course?

Comments please...

I think your on to something, I don't think the books can offer what one might get training in a school.

In fact the books wouldn't really make much sense until put into practice.

A person could learn to ride a bike from a book only to find the actually riding a bike is totally different..

They could offer more to a person from a specialist approach, but these are quite rare are they not?

I think that writing books are like shark waters..Dangerous.

No matter what original thought a person has, someone else has probably already thought it..
So the book ends up just being someone elses regurgitated
thoughts.

Your right, books stink - schools good.

The bicycle metaphor was good.

Books are excellent for the theory. Just as a book can tell you the theory of how to use a bicycle, what's safe and what's dangerous, and different types of bikes for different terrain; but it can't tell you how to cycle.

The same with hypnotherapy. You need both the books and hands-on training...

AND personal experience.

So, is it thumbs down for any hypnotherapy home study course then?

I would be real interested in hearing for an individual that has used a hypnotherapy home study course that found it useful and fulfilling.

Anybody?

What kind of 'Hypnotherapy home study course' are you referring to?

How do you know about them?

...being happy with your training, are you thinking of launching a Home study course? or are you thinking of purchasing one?

Any...

I am just interested as to hear if anyone has found a benefit in using one. I have no interest in purchasing or producing one, just interested in how others have found these courses.

Hi

I know of an extremely successful hypnotherapist who initially learnt hypnotherapy from a book and practised on friends with brilliant effect and subsequently went on to complete recognised training.

This person had had so much experience with real people on a lets see if it will work basis that maybe it took the pressure off them to succeed and worked really well for both parties. Food for thought!

I believe learning from books is not as help full what people think.

It all depends on the person, when I read something and than put it into practise, sometimes it doesn't work or find another way.

I rather "learn on the Job", but everyone is different.

Very Happy
