Six questions to ask a hypnotherapist
Millions of people have improved their lives using this simple yet amazing tool of the mind... including someone you probably know!
Maybe you’ve heard the stories of the well known celebrities who have successfully used hypnosis like Albert Einstein, Jackie Kennedy-Onassis, Sylvester Stallone, Julia Roberts, Tiger Woods, Reese Witherspoon, Arnold Schwarzenegger and more.
A Hypnotherapist has learned the skills to guide you through a process to create positive changes in your life. However, not all hypnotists are created equal.
Use these six questions to help ensure that you choose an experienced professional:
1. What are your qualifications and certifications?
This question helps determine if the hypnotist has received formal training. Certification ensures they’ve met certain standards of professionalism and competence in the field. Many novice hypnotists get their training from a week long, or even a weekend workshop.
Hypnotherapists at Minnesota Hypnotherapy receive their certification through the International Medical and Dental Hypnotherapy Association.
2. How long have you been practicing and what’s your specialty?
Experience often correlates with expertise. By understanding their specialty, you can determine if they’re well-suited to address your specific needs.
Minnesota Hypnotherapy has been in business since 2016 and specializes in public speaking, reducing anxiety, gaining inner confidence, overcoming fears or phobias, and eliminating self-sabotage.
3. What is your approach or method?
Hypnotherapy has various techniques and methods. Understanding their approach helps set expectations and ensures you’re comfortable with the process.
At Minnesota Hypnotherapy, we use a combination of traditional Hypnosis, Neuro-Linguistic Programming, conversational hypnosis, self-directed neuroplasticity techniques, and more to help you achieve your goals.
4. Can you provide references or testimonials from previous clients?
First-hand accounts of past clients’ experiences can give you insight into the hypnotist’s effectiveness and professionalism. Positive testimonials can offer reassurance, while any negative feedback can be a red flag.

5. Do you provide any support or resources for clients outside of session times?
Some hypnotists offer additional resources like recordings, readings, or exercises to help reinforce the work done during sessions. It also indicates their commitment to your overall well-being.
At Minnesota Hypnotherapy, our clients have access to a portal which includes dynamic video tools, guided hypnotic meditations, and e-books to support you between sessions and beyond your engagement.
6. How do you stay updated with the latest research?
The field of coaching and hypnosis, like any other professional field, continues to evolve. A practitioner who keeps up with the latest findings and methodologies offers the most effective and up-to-date methods and techniques.
