Welcome to The International Hypnosis Research Institute Web site. Our intention is to support and promote the further worldwide integration of comprehensive evidence-based research and clinical hypnotherapy with mainstream mental health, medicine, and coaching. We do so by disseminating, supporting, and conducting research, providing professional level education, advocating increased level of practitioner competency, and supporting the viability and success of clinical practitioners. Although currently over 80% of our membership is comprised of mental health practitioners, we fully recognize the role, support, involvement, and needs of those in the medical and coaching fields. This site is not intended as a source of medical or psychological advice. Tim Brunson, PhD

Hypnosis, self-hypnosis and hypnotherapy can heal you from the harm inflicted on you by a woman when you were a child.
You Can Heal The Rage
Anyone can become enraged once in a while. But if you feel rage boiling within almost constantly, or rage erupts from you frequently, you may have an organic illness.

The term metaphysics as used by philosophers is generally defined as the branch of philosophy that is concerned with investigating the reality that lies beyond the physical realm. The study of metaphysics is involved with asking the fundamental questions: "What is the nature of being?" "What is the nature of the universe" "What is the nature of knowledge"? This information may help us to understand that any philosophy or religion that engages in the study of a reality beyond the physical senses has its own metaphysics. For example, in a traditional theological seminary one may study the metaphysics of Aristotle. At a college or university one may learn about the metaphysics of Alfred North Whitehead. In a course of religions in America one may become familiar with the metaphysics of the Mormon faith. In all three of these examples the study of metaphysics is involved. Yet, each one understands the nature of reality in a unique and different way. It becomes clear then that all metaphysical perspectives are not necessarily the same.
