Reverend
Timothy Jones and Robbie Spier Miller were at the CRPO yesterday to
request amending the College of Psychotherapists act to include “Safe
Harbour” provisions similar to those in Quebec. CRPO Registrar
Joyce Rowlands agreed to consider this.
The basic
message was that the College of Psychotherapists is focused on
regulating their own members, and are generally not concerned with
hypnotists or other healing practitioners/
The College
has no intention of defining what it means to have a “serious
disorder”. However, it there was a complaint, they would
investigate and be concerned about extreme cases of failure to refer
out. They are expecting their own psychotherapists to make
appropriate referrals too. So remember the mantra “If in doubt,
refer out.”
Hypnosis is a
natural state of mind. Past misconceptions and myths about hypnosis
are disappearing as hypnosis is helping people in many areas
including medicine, dentistry, law enforcement, education and sports
performance.
Many people do
not realize the positive changes they can achieve with the help of a
professional hypnotist. Here we will dispel many of the myths about
hypnosis and answer the frequently asked questions.
How does
hypnosis work? Our minds include the conscious and the
subconscious. We like to think our conscious mind is in control as we
live our lives, but the reality is that the subconscious mind
determines most of what we do, including our habits. When you are in
hypnosis, there is more powerful and effective communication with the
subconscious mind.
How do I know
if I'm hypnotized? Hypnosis is a natural state of mind that we
drift in and out of in everyday life. One example is getting so into
a movie that you don't notice that someone is calling for you. Or
lying in bed in the morning in that state between waking and sleeping
where you just drift. When most people are hypnotized, they feel very
relaxed.
Is hypnosis
safe? Hypnosis is totally safe. No one can make you do anything
against your will. It is impossible to get stuck in hypnosis.
Hypnosis is a relaxing, enjoyable and safe experience.

not feel this will benefit you, we will tell you so.
