At one point, I used to hand out a worksheet that had 156 uses for hypnosis. There are many potential uses for hypnotism. Let me list several here. Because I am not a medical doctor or psychologist, some of these services require a medical, dental, mental health, or chiropractic referral, depending on the nature of the condition and the origin of the symptom *. Any of these conditions MIGHT require a referral. The ones with an * may require a referral, but you can contact our office for more details.
