Summary: Have you joined the Hypnothoughts Forum yet? In this Hypnosis Podcast I talk candidly with Scott Sandland. This podcast provides a behind the scenes look at one mans mission to unify the Hypnosis community. The Hypnothoughts Forum is Scott's gift to the community. Hypnothoughts was born out of the need for a unified hypnosis community. While there are many forums, the Hypnothoughts forum is the largest. There are now close to 11,000 members as I write this. Its no wonder why Scott Sandland is extremely busy ;) I would like to suggest that you join hypnothoughts and join in the fun! As a member of the hypnothoughts forum you'll be amongst the movers and shakers in the Hypnosis community! The Hypnothoughts forum just turned 5 years old! I can only imagine how great Scott feels. Watching something you created growing up and evolving. One of the things you're really going to love about the hypnothoughts forum is how well everyone works together. Sure there are squabbles from time to time. This is normal in life. There is something different about this forum... People act like adults. The horror! ;) Sure once in a while someone pushes someone elses buttons. At any rate the forum runs pretty smoothly. Unlike most online communities, the hypnothoughts forum is largely self moderated. Meaning this... The members, all 11,000, are good about respecting everyone else. I have been a member of a ton of Hypnosis forums. Its also no surprise to me that most of these have fallen by the wayside. Most of those forums are dinosaurs long gone. Why is this? I'm guessing that some Hypnosis organizations have kept the community scattered. Divide and conquer. Hypnosis organizations and the Hypnothoughts forum All too many times a Hypnosis forum sides with a particular certifying body. This is not the case with Hypnothoughts. People are there to learn and network with one another. Most if not all of the certifying bodies have a presence on the forum. The hypnothoughts forum is not used by certifying boards to scare Hypnotists. "The major medical institutions are jealous and scared of hypnotists" Really? Do you honestly think they are jealous of us? Hypnotists for the most part are struggling. Are they jealous that a hypnotist got a weekend training? Are they jealous that hypnotists weren't taught ethics or about Scope of Practice? Are they jealous of the low amount of clients that most hypnotists see? The certifying boards do a good job of ensuring that they will constantly make profits. Has it ever occurred to you that this happens because the training standards haven't been raised? These boards are for profit companies. If the training standards were raised no one would need these Certifying bodies. We would have much more support from the major medical institutions. "Hypnotists are struggling. They have a great modality and a horrible profession" TWEET THIS P.S.
