Wether you are a potential client looking for a hypnotist to help you solve an issue, or you are an individual who are interested in learning how to hypnotize, you should know what NGH is. NGH is short for National Guild of Hypnotists which is the largest international organization of hypnotists. So why should you know anything about NGH?

Because anybody could call themselves a hypnotist or hypnotherapist. The title is not protected by any official body. This means that if a person has the conscience to do so, he could call himself a hypnotist without any training. Obviously this present a problem. But this is not the only problem, if a trained hypnotist somehow violate common ethics, there is no "right to practice" that can be withdrawn. These issues are common to all areas of alternative medicine where the title is not protected, the solution is certification.

By approving certain courses for certification the NGH can ensure that its members at least has a required minimum of training. Any member of NGH who wish to maintain the certification will have to educate himself further each year, and is required to be ethically responsible. If there is a problem with a member of NGH the members of the board can withdraw the certification of that individual. This is essential in the protection of the client, but by it training requirements NGH is also a protection of the person who wants to be a hypnotist.
