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

The 1950's rivalry between Milton H. Erickson, MD, and David Elman created an intellectual schism in the world of hypnotherapy. The friction between the psychiatrist and the former stage hypnotist has left an enduring legacy of distrust and name calling between various factions. This problem belies the benefit that could exist should the adherents of their legacies could just for a moment start exploring the similarities rather than remaining dogmatically mired in the differences.

The principle of penetrating the subconscious mind is as simple as offering a positive suggestion, a new thought, or a different truth. This is where the memory functions at its very best. The subconscious mind is programmed like an endless tape, implanted within the complex synapses and cells of the brain. Actually, you become what your subconscious mind thinks. Then, our thoughts and beliefs transform us into our character and give us our physiological makeup.

There is an ever growing epidemic of eating disorders amongst both women and men. Some start as young as six years of age. People who develop eating disorders usually do it to cope with life circumstances. It is an unconscious reaction to develop a sense of control, escape feelings, avoid responsibility or stop the process of life. They "think" these behaviors make them feel better. They usually are not aware of, and are disconnected from the physical and emotional harm they are doing on their mind, body and spirit. These people tend to have low self-esteem and can view themselves with a lot of negativity. Some feel that nothing is ever good enough, (mostly themselves). Generally their thoughts, feelings and behaviors stem from the limiting beliefs they have about themselves and the world.
