Improving Health with Hypnosis
Improving Health with Hypnosis
The annual conference of
the New Zealand Hypnotherapy Federation (NZHF)
in
October focussed on "Improving Health with Hypnosis". Local
and
international speakers addressed nearly 65 delegates
on topics ranging
from asthma to Parkinson's disease,
drawing on the increasing body of
scientific research
which supports the helpfulness of hypnosis for a
wide
range of medical conditions.
Many people have their
lives completely disrupted by the likes of
diabetes,
cancer, asthma and Parkinson's disease, and delegates
learned
new ways to help people with these problems and
others using hypnosis.
For example, pain, distress and
reactions from chemotherapy can all be
managed more
effectively.
NZHF President Sandra Faye says “The recent
national hypnotherapy
conference was most informative in
the area of health. The knowledge and
calibre of the
presenters, and the usefulness of their topics, will
ensure that more hypnotherapists will be able to assist
people with* *a
wider range of health problems. Another
very positive aspect of the
conference was the feeling
of unity between members of the organisations
attending
and the opportunity for the delegates to network."
The
NZHF is the umbrella organization for the hypnotherapy
profession in
New Zealand, and now has seven member
organizations. These consist of
four professional bodies
and three training schools, giving a broad
representation.
NZHF is committed to promoting the
benefits of hypnotherapy, and
providing the profession
with a unified voice which promotes standards,
ethics,
professional conduct, and excellence in training and
continuing
education.
