Hypnotherapy Healing Articles

Health Caring: The shortest path to healing the body may be through the mind. by Dennis Meredith, ORC   

Excerpts from the above article...

Unfortunately, said Lehr, while hypnosis is accepted by such groups as the American Medical Association, it is not embraced, and not taught widely to nurses or physicians. And insurance companies balk at covering it. "I see hypnosis as a useful tool, but the insurance companies don't see it like that," she said. "They'd rather not pay for a patient to get traditional hypnosis." REPRINTED FROM DUKE MAGAZINE 

My own take on the above...

This article is a must read for anyone wanting to become active in the promotion of THE best healing modalities in American society today. If you want THE best health you will have to convince your congressmen, senators, governors, mayors, and ESPECIALLY your insurance companies that this is something that YOU want!! 

If you don't demand THE best therapies around, that insurance companies aren't willing to pay for presently, then you will, without any doubt, have nobody to blame for your poor health but yourself.

Washington state insurance companies were ordered by a judge to begin paying for hypnotherapy. They are currently defying state law, through a loophole, to avoid paying for this service. The same is true for most states and most insurance companies. 

If you all band together and tell them that you will be glad to take your business, and money, to another insurance company that will be more willing to accommodate your needs, then your money may just wake them up. 

If not then you may have to convince your govt. representatives that your vote will go elsewhere unless changes are made immediately in your state, and federally as well. Those individuals who don't keep your best interest at heart shouldn't be in office anyway. 

In Texas they passed a law outlawing hypnotherapists from practicing who aren't psychiatrists, lawyers or professional or drug counselors. These hypnotherapists (far more skilled in hypnosis than anyone now legally able to practice hypnosis in Texas) are now ALL practicing illegally in that state; unless they have a degree (or traiing) which has absolutely no bearing whatsoever on their work.

If Texas can literally wipe out a whole profession without any input from people who work in that profession, then your state could do the same. You, like Texans, may soon have to go to a lawyer, drug counselor or psychiatrist, who are probably far less skilled at hypnotherapy, for your hypnosis work. Do you really want someone LESS skilled working in your head?
