Hey... sorry I missed out on the 6 pages of conversation, and I'm just jumping in now... but I wanted to mention that before I moved to Philly, I was in grad school in NY, and the psychology program that I was in over there had hypnosis as an elective. I took the class and it was quite amazing. Since it was in the psychology program, it was coming from the approach of using hypnosis within psychotherapy treatment. I just look at it as another way to draw out the unconscious. After I am done with school, I would love to obtain cerfication in hypnosis. If I plan to practice analysis, I think it would be an excellent skill to have, as it could be benefiicial for many patients.
