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

Jamie Smart is a leading trainer, thinker & entrepreneur who has been teaching people how their minds work and how to lead happy, successful lives since 1999. After reaching the top of his field in the early 2000s (acknowledged by his peers as one of the world's finest NLP trainers), Jamie announced his intention to stop teaching NLP in order to teach a new paradigm, Innate ThinkingTM.

Sometimes referred to as an "Inside-out" understanding of reality, the Innate ThinkingTM paradigm represents a complete explanatory model for human psychological functioning and holds enormous promise for the future of humanity.

One of Jamie's favourite quotes is from the ancient Chinese philosopher Lao-Tse: "If you want to awaken all of humanity, awaken all of yourself." Jamie is committed to his personal transformation, and to supporting others in their own awakening.

Objective. To examine the effects of clinical hypnosis versus NLP intervention on the success rate of ECV procedures in comparison to a control group. Methods. A prospective off-centre randomised trial of a clinical hypnosis intervention against NLP of women with a singleton breech fetus at or after 37(0/7) (259 days) weeks of gestation and normal amniotic fluid index. All 80 participants heard a 20-minute recorded intervention via head phones. Main outcome assessed was success rate of ECV. The intervention groups were compared with a control group with standard medical care alone (n = 122). Results. A total of 42 women, who received a hypnosis intervention prior to ECV, had a 40.5% (n = 17), successful ECV, whereas 38 women, who received NLP, had a 44.7% (n = 17) successful ECV (P > 0.05). The control group had similar patient characteristics compared to the intervention groups (P > 0.05). In the control group (n = 122) 27.3% (n = 33) had a statistically significant lower successful ECV procedure than NLP (P = 0.05) and hypnosis and NLP (P = 0.03). Conclusions. These findings suggest that prior clinical hypnosis and NLP have similar success rates of ECV procedures and are both superior to standard medical care alone.
