Hypnosis services to be provided do not include the practice of medicine.   A Hypnotist is not licensed by the state as a healing arts practitioner.   These services are non-diagnostic, and are complementary to the healing arts services that are licensed by the state.   Hypnosis is an adjunct, not a substitute for conventional medical treatment or therapy.  Hypnosis for medical issues requires a physician referral.

At the Motivational Institute of Hypnosis, we usually make contact with your physician to get a medical referral. Since 1958, hypnosis has been recognized by the American Medical Association (AMA) as a legitimate treatment modality for a wide range of medical and behavioral problems.  Despite an AMA recommendation that hypnosis instruction be included in the curricula of medical schools, a majority of physicians have no training or experience with hypnosis.  If your physician or therapist does not mention hypnosis as a complement to your medical care, it may be they lack sufficient knowledge or training in this specialized field.  Of course, most physicians are subject to time constraints that would make it difficult for them to personally incorporate hypnosis into your medical care program.  Knowing this, you may  choose to ask your physician to refer you to a Certified Hypnotherapist.

Anxiety and Stress: Stress and anxiety are the greatest friends of chronic pain, medical issues and dis-ease.  Over $3,000.000.000  dollars are spent annually for  stress related medical issues. Through hypnosis you will begin to feel a lifting of everyday stress and anxiety, thereby relieving you from unnecessary pain or illness.

Cancer:  Develops when cells in a part of the body begin to grow out of control.  Although there are many kinds of cancer, they all start because of out-of-control growth of abnormal cells.  Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States.  Hypnosis can be used to alleviate pain and medication intake, as well as reduce the negative affects from chemotherapy or radiation treatment.  In many cases, new approaches with hypnosis seem to be helpful in causing a reversal of the disease.  Finally, hypnosis is an effective aid in dealing with the emotional aspects of this illness. 

Depression Associated with Chronic Illness:  Hypnosis can be very useful in dealing with the mental health of the patient.  A depressed patient does not seem to heal or bounce back from illness like the patient that is mentally healthy.  Hypnosis can help the depressed patient regain their will to be happy which will help them in their recovery.

Diabetes:  Is an illness in which the body does not produce or properly use insulin.  Insulin is a hormone that enables the body to convert sugar into energy.  If diabetes is not treated properly, the disease can be fatal!  Approximately 17 million people in the United States have diabetes...6.2% of the population!  The two most prominent types of diabetes are: Type 1 - This type requires daily insulin injections; Type 2 - This type occurs most often as an individual grows older, and is usually controlled by oral medication.  Hypnosis can be effective in keeping the effects of this disease under control.
