Membership is open to those practitioners able to demonstrate appropriate knowledge, evidence of training and clinical experience relevant to the field. The NCH is a member of the UK Confederation of Hypnotherapy Organisations. In other words, the practice of editorial Hypnotherapy doesn’t seem to be the problem... PEOPLE are the problem. If we are seeking regulation as a means of achieving credibility alone, perhaps this is a dangerous game; I’m not surprised there are some mixed feelings about VSR in the profession. For example, some believe that VSR under CNHC will harm our cred- ibility by throwing our lot in with he NCH has a palpable en- say who has the right to practice is professions who have a question- ergy and buzz as our new the ‘easy route’ to ensuring higher able evidence base.

She’s having her two tiny parathyroid glands removed. But for this operation, Fresquez is awake. Cradling her head with two hands and stroking her forehead is Fabienne Roelants, an anesthesiologist who is using hypnosis to get Fresquez through the procedure. “I’m inviting you to fix upon somewhere, not to take your eyes off it,” Roelants says in a French- accented voice. “Now you can close your eyes, to be more relaxed and more comfortable.” Fresquez closes her eyes. “Now you are at a day in November,” Roelants continues. “It’s a Thanksgiving dinner at home. I’m inviting you to observe your friends, your husband. The lights are low, and small candles are flickering in the windowsill.” As Roelants talks, Fresquez grows totally still and her eyes close. A surgeon inserts a long needle into her neck to numb just the area near her parathyroid glands and then cuts a one-inch hole in her throat area to remove two glands, each the size of a grain of rice. 1 When it’s over Fresquez says she felt “relief and joy that the hypnosis worked, that I went through surgery without general anesthesia.

I have experienced the relaxing effects of a guided ,deep relaxation‘ - which is basically a hypnosis session without therapeutical inputs - multiple times on my own. I have always been amazed about how fast I could get into a deep relaxed, sleep-like state through this. Ever since I started freediving, the thought that hypnosis could actually be very beneficial for apnea accompanied me, which led me to have a slightly more in depth look at the topic for my AIDA instructor course now. This paper is by no means a how-to guide on how to use hypnosis for static apnea. It is more an introduction to a toolset known from hypnosis, which usage could be beneficial for apnea in my opinion.
