Free Hypnosis Sessions

You may be eligible to receive Free Private Hypnotherapy Sessions from HMI Interns in the safety and privacy of your own home via Zoom.

HMI is the nation’s first Nationally Accredited College of Hypnotherapy providing hypnotherapy training and clinical internship. HMI Interns are required to complete clinical internship and provide a minimum number of public service hours in order to graduate and achieve the highest level of certification.

HMI Interns now provide these free sessions to the public via Zoom Meetings. Regardless of where you live in the world, you may be able to receive free private hypnotherapy sessions with a highly trained HMI Resident student completing their clinical internship requirements.

These sessions are completely free, private, and scheduled at a mutually convenient time between you and the HMI Resident student. This is a classic “Win/Win” situation. You win with personalized assistance from an intern of an accredited hypnotherapy college, delivered directly to you in the safety and convenience of your own home. HMI Interns win by getting the clinical experience and hours required to graduate, as well as the satisfaction and good karma of participating in an important community service outreach program.

If you would like to be considered to receive “free” hypnotherapy sessions via Zoom, please complete the form below. We select applications that are appropriate and within the scope of the training and expertise of the HMI Interns. If selected, the HMI Resident student will contact you by email to talk to you personally, answer any questions you might have, and explore a mutually convenient time to schedule the appointments. Thank you in advance for your interest in participating.

George J. Kappas, MA, LMFT
Director, Hypnosis Motivation Institute

YES, I acknowledge that I understand and agree to the following:

1. I understand and agree that I am to receive “Pro Bono” (no charge) hypnotherapy services.
2. I agree to give you 24 hours notice for all cancellations or changes of scheduled appointments. I understand, that missing a scheduled appointment without prior cancellation, or canceling with less than 24 hours notice, may result in the cancellation of these services and my eligibility to be assigned more pro bono services in the future from other Hypnosis Motivation Institute (HMI), Student/Intern/Residents. I understand these sessions are by mutual agreement only and can be terminated by either party for any reason and that neither party is obligated in any way to continue hypnotherapy sessions.
3. I understand this is a free referral service provided by the Hypnosis Motivation Institute (HMI), a non-profit corporation. I understand that HMI may be referring me to receive free services from a student/intern or graduate at HMI. I understand this HMI Intern or graduate will be providing me these private sessions as a self-employed independent contractor. As an independent contractor, they are not an employee of HMI and HMI exercises no control over their professional services. By accepting this referral, you agree to hold HMI and/or their agents harmless from any wrong doing, damages, or claims of any kind.
4. I understand and agree that the major purpose of this program is for Vocational or Avocational Self-Improvement and those problems of psychogenic or functional origin are treated by a psychological or medical referral only.
5. I also understand there are no guarantees as to the results or progress to be made, only that you will, to the best of your ability, endeavor to accomplish the objective of my sessions. I understand that I am applying to receive hypnotherapy from a Student/Intern actively enrolled at the Hypnosis Motivation Institute (HMI), and still in progress with their training.
6. The purpose of a program of hypnotherapy is for vocational and avocational self-improvement and as alternative or complementary treatment to healing arts services licensed by the state. A hypnotherapist is not a licensed physician or psychologist, and hypnotherapy services are not licensed by the state. Services are non-diagnostic and do not include the practice of medicine, neither should they be considered as a substitute for licensed medical or psychological services or procedures.
7. Hypnotherapists who assist clients with weight loss and/or other health and fitness goals may provide general nutritional advice and/or recommend published books, food guides, and health and fitness publications. This is not a substitute for medical advice, and you are advised to seek your doctor’s approval before making any medical/health/lifestyle changes.
8. Hypnosis works with the power of the subconscious mind to change habits and behaviors. The subconscious mind is considered to be the source or root of many of our behaviors, emotions, attitudes and motivations. Hypnosis is believed to be a powerful tool for accessing the subconscious mind and creating improvements in our lives.
9. Services consist of a program of conditioning, including an undetermined number of private sessions, depending on the client’s individual needs. The hypnotist will to the best of his or her ability endeavor to accomplish the objectives of the client’s sessions. While hypnosis may be an effective technique for many purposes, the effectiveness may vary from individual to individual, and no specific results or progress can be promised or guaranteed.
10. The feelings and experiences one has in the hypnotic state can vary from individual to individual. Many people remain completely aware of everything that is going on while in hypnosis. Some individuals experience a hyper-awareness where sensations are perceived enriched and vivid. The ability to visualize or imagine is often enhanced. A feeling of deep relaxation is common, and some people describe the hypnotic state as an escape from physical tension and emotional stress, while remaining completely alert.
11. The use of hypnosis could elicit memories of past events which may or may not be literally true. It is possible that events under hypnosis will be distorted or misconstrued. Memories or images evoked under hypnosis are not necessarily accurate and may be a construction or a composite of memories. Without corroborating information, it is not possible to determine whether a specific memory is true or false, even if it seems true to the client.
12. While it is the practice of hypnotherapists to keep information confidential, information revealed in hypnotherapy is not subject to the psychotherapist-patient privilege. A court could order disclosure of information learned in therapy. These Zoom sessions may be recorded for quality control and training purposes. Additionally, HMI students/interns may discuss their cases with HMI supervisors for advice and direction in a small group setting with other Interns or graduates. This advice and direction does not constitute control over the student/intern’s private independent practice.
13. I understand that these services will be provided via Zoom and that I must have the Zoom Application to receive them. I also understand that the agreement to do hypnotherapy is subject to mutual consent between myself and the hypnotherapist providing the services. All Zoom sessions are to be scheduled via Zoom by mutual consent. Failure to show up for a scheduled appointment can result in the end of the services.
14. I understand that I must provide a quiet, interruption free environment with an adequate Internet connection to participate in these Zoom sessions. These sessions can continue for as long as both parties feel they are valuable and productive. I understand and agree that both parties, the hypnotherapist and I need to feel that there is a good connection and mutual respect in order for the session to be of value. Either party can decide to discontinue the services at any time.
15. I understand that if I am outside of the United States, I am expected to work within the time zone of the Hypnotherapist.
