What Is Transpersonal Hypnotherapy?

Transpersonal hypnotherapy is an orientation that can best be described by
defining the word, transpersonal-the crossing of mind, body, and spirit or soul.
This orientation leads the practitioner into considering a broad scope of
interventions that lead to mental, physical or spiritual changes and increased
awareness. The transpersonal hypnotherapist allows for client and therapist to
address any aspect of the relationship between the mind, body and spirit, and
their effects on one another; yet, there is no religious orientation
suggested, but instead an unfoldment that makes it possible for clients to explore
their relationship to a universal creator and their own unique spiritual walk
through human life. One of the primary purposes of NATH and its membership
includes educating the public on the higher levels of awareness that hypnosis can
bridge one into, in addition to the usual results that are achieved through more
traditional clinical hypnotherapy approaches.

Certified Members must have earned a Certification in Hypnotherapy from a
professional training institution and submit copies of these with the NATH
registration coupon or have been practicing hypnotherapy professionally and are
willing to submit proof of proficiency in hypnotherapy skills, as per request by
the NATH staff. Certified Members use the honor system to obtain 15
professionally related contact hours (CEUs) every year and list these on their renewal
form. These may be obtained by reading books, listening to tapes, attending
chapter meetings, professional hypnotherapy workshops, and/or hypnotherapy
organization's conferences.

Non-Certified Members receive the same benefits as the above except: they do
not receive a registration certificate; they aren't listed on the referral
directory; and they are not required to submit annual CEUs. Non certified members
may upgrade to certified member status once they are certified at no
additional charge.

Annual Dues (for either member class)................$70

Learn Hypnotherapy
and become a Certified Hypnotherapist

Hypnosis dates back to ancient civilization where its use was included in activities such as fire-walking, meditation, and various natural healing arts. Through its evolution, it has proven itself as an effective therapeutic modality. As education in hypnotherapy continues to grow, the trend in our society is one of increased credibility.

After the American Medical Association's endorsement of hypnosis in its methods and applications in 1958, there has been a notable expansion in its methods and applications. Hypnotherapy cannot be considered a panacea, nor a replacement for proper medical attention, however, it has been proven to produce quick, effective, therapeutic changes that are atypical of other forms of treatment.

The uses of hypnotherapy are virtually limitless, addressing common psychosomatic problems such as: weight control, smoking, addiction, insomnia, fears, phobias, habits, low motivation, anxiety, stress, headaches, and other problems including, but not limited to, memory retrieval, self image, pain management, sports attainment, performance anxiety, and more.

The National Association of Transpersonal Hypnotherapists (est. 1989) is the largest transpersonal hypnotherapy membership organization in the United States. Its quality accelerated training programs gives it an outstanding reputation for certifying and registering professionals from a variety of backgrounds throughout the United States.
