What educational background do I need in order to hypnotize other people?

Dan, “Thank you for asking the question.” I get this question a lot. There are two basic types of hypnotists. There are hypnotists who hypnotize people to overcome problems, (sometimes called hypnotherapists) and hypnotists who entertain, called stage hypnotists. I live in the United States. In the United States there are no educational requirements to become either a hypnotist who works on people or a hypnotist who performs stage shows.

More and more baby boomers are becoming hypnotists who work on people. The major reason is, baby boomers want to work for themselves, set there own hours but more importantly, they have had many life experiences to draw upon during hypnosis treatment sessions and feel they have a lot to give others.

In October, I have had a few baby boomers attend my one-on-one training in Phoenix, Arizona, and both of these individuals want to treat people for problems as well as perform on stage.

Summary:
You need no special education to become a professional hypnotist or hypnotherapist. I know plenty of great hypnotherapists who never attended college. If you are sincere in helping people, and you have had your share of life experiences, you may become a great professional hypnotist.
