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

Matters of the Mind



by Joyce-Anne Locking

Being unhappy, depressed, lazy, sluggish, joyful, ambitious or exuberant are all examples of habit. Whatever habits you find yourself automatically repeating each day can be changed. Pay attention to the things you are focusing on daily and ask yourself if these things are serving your purpose today.

The management of blood phobia and a hypersensitive gag reflex by hypnotherapy: a case report



Coping with a hypersensitive gag reflex can be a cause for concern for both the patient and the operator. This report describes a case of blood phobia directed solely towards the oral cavity, linked with the inability to tolerate dentures due to a hypersensitive gag reflex. Management by hypnotherapy using a systematic desensitization technique allowed for extraction of teeth and permanent elimination of the gagging problem.

A personal perspective on energies in future energy medicine



This paper deals with the evolution of medicine from chemical medicine to energy medicine to information medicine as, first, standard electric, magnetic, and electromagnetic fields are applied to a patient and, second, as subtle energy fields are applied to the patient. Next, a brief reporting is given on our specific intention imprinting of a simple electrical device, which, when turned on in a given space, lifts the inner symmetry state of that space and tunes that space so that the specific intention, acting on the materials in that space, causes well-designed target experiments running in that space to yield results in full accord with the specific intention. A new theoretical model of nature is provided to explain these seemingly anomalous phenomena. A new perspective on what constitutes the whole person is also provided and one finds that human consciousness will become an important experimental variable in future medicine.
