Directory of Hypnotherapists

This directory of hypnotherapists is a nation wide listing. Hypnosis is the induction of trance states and the use of therapeutic suggestion. The therapeutic use of hypnosis in medicine was accepted in 1955 by the British Medical Association, which was closely followed in 1958 by the American Medical Association.

Research has linked hypnosis to the amount of imagination that the individual can create within his mind. Recent research suggests that highly hypnotizable people have high sensory and perceptual gating abilities that allow them to block some stimuli from awareness (Barnier, McConkey, and Wright, 2004).

With this directory of hypnothereapists you will find a practicing address and phone number and/or a website listing.

Some schools of thought hold that hypnosis as a state is very similar to other states of extreme concentration, where a person becomes oblivious to his or her surroundings while lost in thought. Often suggested as an example is highway hypnosis, when a driver suddenly finds his or herself much further down the road without any memory of driving the intervening distance. According to state theorists, the act of hypnotizing, is, in effect, the act of deliberately and mechanically inducing a similar state.

Hypnotism has also received publicity about its use in Forensics, Sports, Education, and physical therapy and rehabilitation.
