Everyone is suggestible to something.   Anyone wishing for self-improvement can use hypnosis as part of a maintenance plan to build better habits or to attain goals.   

 

Hypnosis is used in a positive controlled situation where the client and hypnotist have agreed upon a plan for self-improvement. 

 

Hypnosis as we know it today has been around for over sixty years. 

 

Dr. James Braid, a physician in the 1840's,  recognized physiological changes take place in individuals who were in a state similar to light sleep and he called this state Hypnosis from the greek word meaning sleep.

 

Dr. John G. Kappas founded the Hypnosis Motivational Institute (HMI) in 1968 as the first hypnotherapy college in America to become nationally accredited by an accrediting agency authorized by the U.S. Department of Education.

 

Since that time hypnosis has gained popularity as a method for self-improvement and enhancing abilities and skills in one's career, sports or everyday life.
