HYPNOTHERAPY DISCLAIMER
Important!
One of the main tools in Rapid Transformational Therapy® is hypnotherapy. As you’ve probably read in the rest of my website, hypnotherapy can be a wonderful ‘tool’ to use to help you in overcoming a variety of issues. However, if you come to see me as a client I will always make you aware of the following:
Hypnotherapy is not a substitute for professional medical care.
Please be aware that this site does not provide medical advice. It is for interest and information only.
On no occasion should hypnotherapy, or the techniques used within, be seen as a substitute for professional medical advice. Hypnotherapy acts as a complimentary therapy, not an alternative, to professional health care and advice should always be sought from your GP or other healthcare provider.
California Business and Profession Code
California Business and Professions Code 2053 requires that complimentary and alternative health care providers make certain written disclosures to clients. If hypnotherapists are deemed to be covered by this provision, they must make the required disclosures:
A person who provides services pursuant to Section 2053.5 that are not unlawful under Section 2051 or 2052 shall, prior to providing those services, do the following:
Disclose to the client in a written statement using plain language the following information:
- That he or she is not a licensed physician.
That the treatment is alternative or complementary to healing arts services licensed by the state.
That the services to be provided are not licensed by the state.
The nature of the services to be provided.
The theory of treatment upon which the services are based.
His or her educational, training, experience, and other qualifications regarding the services to be provided.
Obtain a written acknowledgment from the client stating that he or she has been provided with the information described in paragraph (1). The client shall be provided with a copy of the written acknowledgment, which shall be maintained by the person providing the service for three years.
The information required by subdivision (a) shall be provided in a language that the client understands.
Analysis: Care must be taken in California, at a minimum, to disclaim in advertising materials the practice of medicine and to state that the hypnotist does not diagnose, prescribe, or treat any medical condition. There appears to be no other case law in California affecting hypnosis and there is no other California case that follows/disagrees/disapproves/cites People v. Canter.
You are the only one who can guarantee success
Hypnotherapy does not work like a magic wand, although results can be achieved very quickly. You have to be motivated and committed to change – undertaking homework and tasks that may be set (for example, listening regularly to your personalized recording which will be provided). This is an essential part of the therapy process and in not doing this the effectiveness of the therapy will certainly decrease. In other words, hypnotherapy involves commitment on your behalf.
Hypnotherapy depends largely on your overall motivation to make changes in your own life. As a result, I personally can offer no guarantees of success. You are the only one who can do this. Ultimately, hypnosis cannot make you do anything you don’t want to do. However, what I can guarantee is that I will always endeavor to help you to the best of my abilities.
Client Centered Hypnotherapy
Everyone is different and responds differently to hypnotherapy. In the same way, everyone may show different levels of success over different timescales. Sometimes all that might be needed is one or two sessions. However, sometimes things might not be so straight-forward – other issues might emerge that you would like help with, so these are often dealt with before a successful outcome can be achieved. On average, I see clients for 1 or 3 sessions – sometimes more.
Audio downloads
When listening to audio downloads you should make sure it is safe for you to do so. You should not listen while driving or operating machinery. Please seek medical advice first if you suffer from epilepsy or any mental health illness, as deep relaxation and the suggestions contained within the audio may have adverse effects, as these conditions require professional medical care.
