Bruce Bonnett

It is important that Hypnotherapists be aware and current with the Clinical Research in Hypnotherapy conducted by Major Universities. These scholarly writings provide the practitioner with not only expectations of what is achievable in the field but also with a powerful tool to validate the potential and expectations of potential clients and referring health care professionals.

This self-study course provides a comprehensive overview of the clinical research that supports the effectiveness of Hypnotherapy in 53 of the most common applications that a Hypnotherapist may encounter in private practice.

A one-hour video introduction and overview by the author, Bruce Bonnett, sets the foundation of how to use these resources in your private practice. Once you are fully aware of the research available you will be able to quickly access it, refer to it and even print out specific study results in a usable format to share with clients and healthcare professionals.

The quizzes for this self-study program consist of 5 questions each (total of 265 questions) covering all 53 different clinical applications (total of 419 case studies), see A-W list below.

You don’t have to complete all 53 quizzes in one session, you can proceed at your own pace. You have 360 days from the purchase date to complete this course in its entirety.

Your CEU Certificate for eighty (80) hours of Continuing Education is not awarded until all 53 quizzes (419 case studies reviewed and 265 questions answered) have been completed and you’ve passed the course with an average score of at least 70%.

Did you ever wonder what you could tell or show potential clients to convince them that hypnosis really can help with a certain issue? AHA Presenter Bruce Bonnett will provide an overview of research studies from universities and hospitals that conclude that Hypnosis can help with 53 specific presenting issues.

Note: This course provides a summary of each study formatted in a uniform and easy-to-use way. It also provides, where available, links to online websites that contain summaries of the studies. However, the course does not provide you with access in many cases to the full, complete study reports written by the study authors. Study authors often charge hundreds or even thousands of dollars to permit one person to access a full study report for a short period of time. Rather than having to charge you thousands of dollars for this course in order to allow you access to the full study reports, we have opted to keep the price of the course at a reasonable amount and only include the study summaries – which basically contain most of the useful information you would want for your practice anyway.

Multiple Sclerosis and Hypnosis
2024-08-28 at 20:46 Pacific Time

Guided imagery can help reduce the perception of pain, which is a common symptom in MS. Visualizing the body as relaxed, free from pain, or in a state of healing can help lower pain levels. Imagery that promotes muscle relaxation can decrease the frequency and intensity of muscle spasms. Imagery focused on calming, peaceful scenes can reduce stress and anxiety, which are often exacerbated by living with a chronic condition like MS. Visualizing scenarios where one feels in control or empowered can help individuals better cope with the unpredictability of MS symptoms. Feeling empowered through positive imagery can help clients feel less like victims of their condition and more like active participants in their healing process.
S.P. from Agoura Hills, California, US

HIV/AIDS and Hypnosis
2024-08-28 at 12:07 Pacific Time

Psychological Support: The lesson may have highlighted how hypnosis can be used to provide psychological support to individuals living with HIV/AIDS. I learned that hypnosis can help in reducing anxiety, stress, and depression, which are common among people with chronic illnesses. Pain and Symptom Management: I gained insight into how hypnosis can be a tool for managing physical symptoms, such as pain or nausea, associated with HIV/AIDS or its treatment. Behavioral Change: I think the lesson might have illustrated how hypnosis can assist in promoting positive behavioral changes, such as improving adherence to medication, reducing risky behaviors, or encouraging healthier lifestyle choices. Mind-Body Connection: I have come to appreciate the role of the mind-body connection in health, understanding that hypnosis can help harness this connection to boost the immune system and enhance overall well-being. Holistic Approach: The lesson might have emphasized how hypnosis fits into a holistic approach to HIV/AIDS care, complementing medical treatments and other psychological therapies.
S.P. from Agoura Hills, California, US
