My experience with hypnosis began in 1965. However, my career extends to 1967, when I began teaching self-hypnosis classes at California State University Northridge (CSUN). In addition to my hypnotherapy practice, I have lectured and taught hypnosis and hypnotherapy subject matter classes at colleges, universities, and for professional and community groups throughout California.
Beyond being active in my profession for more than 55 years, I have extensive counseling experience, enhanced through having worked for Los Angeles County for 32-years, before retiring in 2002. Designing and implementing a 'model' counseling program for the Los Angeles County Probation Department, and. Having administrative responsibility for a 120 bed counseling and treatment program in Malibu, CA.
My client base has been diverse, ranging from counseling individuals seeking personal and professional self-improvement to working with medical referrals, dental referrals, and referrals from licensed counseling professionals.

Efficacy of Hypnosis
Report
It is one thing for me to describe the benefits of hypnosis.
It's a naturally occurring state of concentration; it's actually a means of enhancing your control over both your mind and your body.
Hypnosis can also be a part of the treatment program for irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory conditions of the mouth, TMJ disorders, and tension headaches, the panel concluded.
Results of this preliminary trial indicate that use of a targeted hypnotic intervention can accelerate postoperative wound healing and suggest that further tests of using hypnosis to augment physical healing are warranted.

Common Myths about Hypnosis
Report
Fact: No one can control your mind, unless you allow him or her to do so.
A hypnotherapist gives you suggestions that you want to be given, based on your therapeutic goals and objectives.
At no point during hypnosis will you lose control of your mind.
If you hear a suggestion that you do not agree with, or do not understand, your subconscious mind will automatically reject it.
I will be made to perform embarrassing acts, such as bark like a dog, or walk like a duck.
Fact: This notion is based on stage hypnosis and Hollywood fiction.

Scope of Practice
Report
In California, hypnotherapy is for vocational and avocational (self-improvement) counseling (Business and Professions Code 2908), and as complementary treatment to healing arts services licensed by the State.
Included in that section, the law entitles a hypnotherapist to work outside the areas of vocational, avocational self-improvement, provided that they receive a referral from persons licensed to practice psychology, dentistry, or medicine.
California does not have an explicit statute or regulation requiring licensure for hypnotists or hypnotherapy.
