Clearly I'm a bit late to this discussion; however, I would appreciate your insights and comments on my blog post on hypnotherapy treatment of PTSD: http://blog.findingtruemagic.com/?p=58
I would be very interested to hear from UK hypnotherapists who may be working with this type of trauma, or have questions about how I work with PTSD.

this seems to be similar to the NLP technique

2,900 people responded to this US consumer survey who had seen a mental health practitioner of some sort. Most people got a lot better following psychotherapy. Notoriously, no individual modality of therapy did better than others. Marriage counsellors fared very poorly, however.

As mentioned in The Hypnotherapy Journal, I've waived my royalty fee for compiling the book and writing the prefaces so more of the money goes directly to NCH for the benefit of its members. As Dr. Michael Heap says in the Foreword, every hypnotist should be familiar with the writings of James Braid, the founder of hypnotherapy. I put together ... See Morethis book to help hypnotherapists conclusively dispel misconceptions about their work and better promote hypnosis as a rational, credible, and empirically-supported treatment. It's still waiting to be reviewed by the major research journals but Amazon UK, Anglo-American books, and NCH have already sold out of their initial stock of the book. My forthcoming book, The Practice of Cognitive-Behavioural Hypnotherapy, draws in great detail upon Braid's writings in developing a model of hypnotherapy consistent with modern cognitive-behavioural theory and practice. - Donald Robertson

This article contains important proposals for changes to the standard hypnotherapy practitioner diploma (HPD) award issued by NCH accredited training schools. These have been published in The Hypnotherapy Journal and NCH website to invite comments and questions from all interested parties, especially NCH members and training schools. Please share your thoughts on the proposed version 2 award by emailing Donald Robertson at research@hypnotherapists.org.uk

Just to clarify: voluntary and statutory regulation are essentially different. There's not a current proposal for statutory regulation of hypnotherapy. If you were strongly in favour of statutory regulation you might actually oppose plans for VSR, or vice versa. - Donald Robertson

Paul Howard, the marketing director of NCH, recorded this video clip and made it available to NCH members for use in explaining hypnotherapy to their clients. If you're an NCH member you can use this video on your website or post it to your Facebook page, etc., as long as you reference NCH as the source.
