Hypnotists Conference Will Be a Time for Building Relationships As Well As Learning
Merrimack, NH (PRWEB) May 2, 2007 –
Many attending the National Guild of Hypnotists Convention and Educational Conference this summer will be earning required credits toward becoming a certified hypnotist. Others will earn advanced certifications in hypnotism and career skills related to hypnosis. The NGH Convention is known as the, "Largest and Friendliest Professional Hypnotism Conference in the World."
When the National Guild of Hypnotists meets in Marlborough, MA this August 10, 11 and 12, many of those in attendance will be earning required credits toward becoming a certified consulting hypnotist. Others at the convention will be seeking advanced certifications to add to their professional credentials. Hypnotism is an accepted and recognized treatment option regularly utilized by many health care workers, counselors and other mental health professionals. Hypnosis provides a valuable tool for enhancing an individual's ability to deal with pain or stress, or to assist in diminishing undesirable behavior patterns. As the use of hypnotism increases, so does the demand for those who are trained to provide it.
The NGH Convention and Educational Conference will conduct 280 seminars and workshops during their three-day convention event. Combined, the coursework equals more than 400 hours of learning, instruction and interaction time. Each person who attends the NGH Convention uses a Personal Learning Goals Assessment Form to help him or her plan a customized workshop schedule and maximize his experience at the conference. All of the seminars and workshops offered during the NGH Convention and Educational Conference count toward NGH Continuing Education requirements.
This year, the National Guild of Hypnotists, in conjunction with PeachTree Professional Education, Inc., has added a special track for awarding Continuing Education Credit (CE/CNE) to counselors, nurses and workers in certain mental health fields. PeachTree, one of the nation's oldest and largest providers of Continuing Education credits for professionals in the field of mental health, will provide NAADAC, NBCC and CA CNE approved credits for select NGH courses. The NGH Convention is open to the public for individuals with a sincere interest in learning more about hypnosis and career opportunities as a certified consulting hypnotist in the many professions that utilize the techniques of hypnotism.
Dr. Dwight Damon, President of the National Guild of Hypnotists, explains, "Even though the NGH Convention is a time for intensive study and skill development, we like to remind people that the event is frequently described as, 'the world's largest and friendliest professional hypnotism conference.' The three days NGH spends in Marlborough, MA, are an incredible time for networking. People leave the NGH Convention with new professional relationships, new mentors and most importantly, new friends."
Georgina Cannon, a Board Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist based in Ontario, Canada says this of the NGH Convention, "Every class I teach, I talk about this amazing convention. Over 280 workshops in 3 days! Folks are friendly and keen on sharing their knowledge and information. I have been going for ten years, and every year I learn new stuff. The only downside, by Sunday, my head is so full of new information and knowledge I feel like I'm spinning! I wouldn't miss it for anything! It's the best deal in any country."
