Hypnotherapy

Hypnotherapy is usually practiced by members pf the therapeutic professions, although it is sometimes used as a form of entertainment. It is usually studied after, or as part of, a postgraduate and a graduate education in psychology, substrance abuse therapy, psychiatry and similar professions.

Because it is a form of complementary medicine that requires much dedication, it is not common to find a reliable distance learning courses teaching how to preform hypnosis. In addition, before even considering one of the following courses (which are listed with reservations and we do not vouch for them), check with your country and local licensing authorities, if the course is even worth the paper it is written on.

It can even do more damage than you have bargained for. It might be a stain in your biography to have a course from a place defined as a "degree mill". Bircham International University, for example, is an unaccredited university with a variety of controversies attached to it, offers such a course.

Or take the Hong Kong Institute of Clinical Hypnosis - it is "accredited by Pebble Hills University", in itself a non accredited institution.

Even "alternative" institutions (that are accredited) do not offer full training in hypnotherapy, but just few courses:

Atlantic University (DETC accreditation)
The Institute of Transpersonal Psychology (Regionally Accredited)
