What’s the difference between a stage hypnotist and a Clinical Hypnotherapist?
A stage hypnotist is an entertainer whereas a hypnotherapist is a healer. The stage hypnotist uses very slick methods to hypnotise highly suggestible people who have been hand-picked from the audience. There is some doubt as to whether they are actually hypnotised at all – but just comply with the hypnotist for the performance. They are often people who are quiet on the outside but have an extrovert hidden inside them – who is just itching to get out and perform. The clinical hypnotherapist is there to help people contact their powerful inner resources in order to resolve a problem. The changes are always beneficial, effective and long-term.
