Hypnosis: Medicine of the Mind
When local hypnotherapist Patricia V.
Scott began her hypnosis career in 1992, there were few schools that emphasized
the medical side of hypnosis. It is said, “When the student is ready, the
teacher appears,” and so Scott’s did. Dr. Michael Preston, author of Hypnosis: Medicine of the Mind, was teaching
in Phoenix, Arizona; Scott spent much time there over the next 10 years.
Fast forward to 2020. Scott has taken all her training with
Preston and other great teachers, combined with 28 years’ experience in hypnotherapy
and NLP, and now teaches Hypnosis and Medical Hypnotherapy for the
International Medical & Dental Hypnotherapy Association (IMDHA) and
International Association of Counselors & Therapists (IACT). A Life Fellow
with IMDHA, Scott developed a Medical Hypnotherapy Specialty Certification
training, now an approved course. She partnered with local psychologist, Dr.
Eric Rosen, who made valuable contributions to this program.
Since 1992, Scott has used hypnosis instead of anesthesia
for all her dental work (surgery, bone grafts, crowns, etc.), post-surgery pain
and healing, and to stay calm and keep her immune system strong during this
most recent challenge, coronavirus.
Medical Hypnotherapy Specialty Certification starts May 2
and Hypnosis International Certification starts May 30. Depending on coronavirus,
these trainings may be totally “virtual” on Zoom. Life is about flexibility;
Scott says she will do whatever is necessary to continue offering these valued
trainings.
