The Rightful Profession of Hypnosis

IHF MESSAGE TO THOSE WHO SEEK TO LIMIT THE PROFESSION OF HYPNOSIS:

1. HYPNOSIS IS A LEGAL STAND-ALONE SELF-REGULATED PROFESSION

Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy are not a subset or component of any other modality. While some licensed practioners may use hypnosis to complement their practice, hypnotherapy has a much wider scope. Hypnotherapists provide complete helpful unique therapy to individuals and/or groups.

2. CONTROLLING SEPARATE PROFESSIONS VIOLATES ANTI-TRUST LAWS

Legislation that attempts to take away a person’s right livelihood and put money in the pocket of members of any private organization violates anti-trust laws; one company does not have the right to control an entire industry.

3. HYPNOTHERAPISTS AND HYPNOTISTS HAVE A STRONG CODE OF ETHICS

Over 35 national & international organizations qualify, educate & certify hypnotists and hypnotherapists. Each organization has standards, ethics and most adhere to the educational requirements. The International Hypnosis Federation (IHF) is a proud member of the Council of Professional Hypnosis Organizations (COPHO www.copho.com), founded September 23, 1989 with over 20 member organizations representing in excess of 20,000 hypnotists throughout the United States and Canada. Many IHF members also belong to AFL-CIO (Hypnosis Union No. 472).

4. NO CONTROLLING, SELF-SERVING CONTROLLERS ALLOWED

No private organization has permission to take your right to use hypnosis away from you. Nor shall any organization mislead you to believe that they are the only valid organization.

5. FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS

Every person has a 1st amendment right of freedom of speech and has the right to hypnotically influence or motivate others.
