Hypnosis or
hypnotherapy?

Why you see both words

The words overlap in everyday use. The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health uses “hypnosis” and “hypnotherapy” together. The American Psychological Association describes hypnotherapy as the use of hypnosis in a therapeutic context.

The name alone does not tell you a practitioner's qualifications, approach, or whether a service fits your needs. Those are useful questions to ask directly.

What to ask a practitioner

• What training have you completed, and what are you currently studying?
• How do you work with someone whose goals are like mine?
• What will happen during an appointment?
• What are the fees, session length, and preparation steps?
• How do you decide whether your services are appropriate for a client?

Online sessions and recordings

An online appointment with Ashley is a scheduled opportunity to meet with her over Zoom. If you are looking for personal guidance, ask about online hypnotherapy sessions rather than assuming a self hypnosis recording offers the same experience.
