Hello Everyone…  This episode I’m back and going out on a limb!  But first I want to thank Celeste Hackett and Kelsey Banyan for doing the last couple of Hypnosis, Etc. episodes, while I was away in Singapore teaching an advanced hypnotic age regression course and my Banyan Hypnosis Certification Super-Course.

What do I mean by “going out on a limb”?  Well, thought about it long and hard, as they say, because I was thinking about doing a Predictions for 2008 Hypnosis Etc. episode.  Then I decided not to, and then at the last minute, literally a minute or so before the show was recorded I sprung the news on Celeste.  Being the great sport that she is, she said “go for it Cal!”  So that is what this episode is all about.

Next year we can look back at this episode and see how close things turned out. 

So now let’s get started with my hypno-predictions for 2008.

  • Hypnosis will continue to grow and gain more acceptances by everyone including the other professions.
  • The Internet will become even more of a factor in the promotion of hypnotism and for individual hypnosis professionals.
  • Expect to see more podcasts and better use of Web 2.0 to promote hypnosis and individual hypnosis offices.
  • Internet technology becoming easier and more and more hypnosis sessions are done online using webcams and such devices.
  • More live classes taking over the Internet like we do at the Banyan Hypnosis Center.
  • More cooperative marketing techniques will occur because of the Internet, enabling hypnotists and trainers to work together to be more profitable.

What I’d like to see happen in the profession of hypnotism in the coming year.

  • More hypnotists and hypnosis organizations becoming more focused on ethics.  This is a very important part of building our profession.
  • More hypnosis professionals going into full time practice.  This is one of the main things needed to help to grow and mature our profession.
  • More professionals realizing that ongoing training is a must.  This is an accepted truth in the other professions such as medicine and psychology.
  • Would like to see a real college or university offer a program in hypnosis or hypnotherapy.  It could be a major or a minor.  This will help other professions accept hypnosis and hypnotherapy as a valid profession, and at the same time offer a new level of education that is not available now.  The challenge will be to bring up-to-date information to the colleges, when tend to be decades behind in the progress of the profession.

That is it for this year!  Keep watching and listening to Hypnosis, Etc; because I will make an exciting announcement about my “secret project” in about two or three weeks.  It is going to enable hypnotists around the world to make more money in their practice of hypnotism!

Check back because next week I am going to begin my new Ten Keys series.  In this series we will discuss ten vital points that you must do well to be successful in a number of different topic areas of interest to the professional hypnotist who are seeing clients.
