Hypnotherapy - can it help in your business life?...

As part of my work, I inevitably talk to people and explore how they can improve their working life in a variety of ways.

A surprising number of people use hypnotherapy in their life in some way or another - for instance to help them lose weight, and so forth.

Someone asked me the other day if they thought it was something that could be applied in a business context - perhaps to give more confidence or help with presenting.

I know nothing about hypnotherapy per se but it was an interesting question, and as this is the business brainstorm section - wondered what others thought?

I can imagine it can help with the way how you look at solving problems and working together as visualisation is part of hypnotherapy.

Any other views?

Hypnotherapy is one of those over-hyped and over-rated things.

Unfortunately because a few celebrities have tried hypnotherapy to get over some of the terrible traumas in their lives (only earning a few million per film or something) then it seems to have entered more of the mainstream.

However there are enough normal techniques and methods that can be used to help people improve in any area of their life and there is certainly no need for things like this.

Hi Sasha

I always think of it being used to help people with negative things such as fears or addictions - therefore for instance if you had a strong fear of presentations or something along those lines, perhaps it could be helped to calm the nerves a little.

There are one or two members here who do hypnosis related things like hypnotherapy - might be worth looking at their profiles / asking them...

Hi Sasha

I am sure that some people do use hypnotherapy in a business context, but probably for specific business related fears and I imagine it is quite a small number of people.

For most, talking through their issues and being coached in a more orthodox manner I think would be the more sound and successful strategy.

My answer would be no Sasha - there are business coaches and psychologists for that

My answer to this would be 'no': there are simpler, better and more effective ways to improve your business skills...

Not sure on this one. I would say a positive mental attitude would be better.
Just my two penny's worth.

Thanks Tracey

The general opinion on this one seems to be pretty much the same - treat with caution and stick to more traditional methods
