Comments on: Hypnotherapy – Is It A Cult? by Rich Wilson http://www.whatsonmybrain.com/hypnotherapy-cult/ Hypnosis Training & Information For Hypnotists and The General Public Sun, 05 Feb 2012 15:29:36 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 By: Chet Payne http://www.whatsonmybrain.com/hypnotherapy-cult/comment-page-1/#comment-12570 Chet Payne Thu, 01 Jul 2010 02:36:34 +0000 http://www.whatsonmybrain.com/2008/08/26/hypnotherapy-its-a-cult/#comment-12570 "How sad it is to think that someone could live a happier, and sometimes, healthier life, but never will because someone jumped into a conversation one evening and proceeded to convince everyone in the room that hypnosis was a cult or black magic and they should avoid it like the plague!" This is exactly the problem. I have seen countless alcoholics that could have been helped tremendously with hypnosis but because of ignorant people throwing out a negative opinion about something they do not know these people get stuck with 12 step programs that have about a 3% success rate. Fortunately since I use to be a reformed theologian it would be a total impossibility for me to lose a religious debate since I know the bible better them most ministers do. You absolutely right we need to take a stand for hypnosis against the ignorant and opinionated for the sake of people who can be helped by hypnosis. I have been dealing with this type of discrimination a lot lately since I come from an extremely religious family but I will now allow anyone to talk bad about hypnosis since I can honestly say that hypnosis has helped pull me out of the gutter and into a very hopeful life. “How sad it is to think that someone could live a happier, and sometimes, healthier life, but never will because someone jumped into a conversation one evening and proceeded to convince everyone in the room that hypnosis was a cult or black magic and they should avoid it like the plague!”
