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 ….
