Introduction Softmind India is happy to announce Hypnotherapy Practitioner Courses. The courses would empower the learner to plan, provide and monitor comprehensive Hypnotherapy competence. The course is to have affiliation with Association for psychotherapy and Hypnotherapy of India The Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Government of India, vide its letter no. R.14015/25/96-U&H(R) (Pt.) dated 25 November 2003, has very categorically stated that hypnotherapy is a recommended mode of therapy in India to be practiced by only appropriately trained personnel. Hypnosis is recognized by the World Health Organization, British Medical Council and American Medical Association. Hypnotherapy is increasingly regarded by medical professionals as having an effective complementary role. Scientific studies in the US and Europe supports this view and have further established hypnosis as scientific and effective therapeutic intervention. Our hypnosis programs incorporate cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) into our therapeutic process which means that our candidates are able to facilitate clients resolve problems. Vibrant psychotherapists like Milton Erickson, Dave Elman etc who made hypnosis and its benefits a lifelong study, and NLP founder Richard Bandler, are among the authors of this dynamic approach whose influential work is featured in our training programme. Clinical practitioners complete our diploma course with a comprehensive range of competence and expertise which they need to enable their clients to achieve their goals. These changes are positive and often dramatically life-changing. Change can be easier than you think through hypnosis. Hypnosis is an act of love ... permission to enter trance is an act of love ….
