   Ha! Love the D.H.T. (Dumb Hypnotist Trick) in this one. At least in the USA, I like to think of Ph.D.s in hypnosis as having paid for a real B.S. degree .

   This reminds me, I was watching one of the NGH seminar videos, and the presenter kept referring to themselves as "Dr." so-and-so, and I know that they really had a DCH. I laughed every time they called themselves a "Dr.", until eventually I had to stop watching because I just couldn't take them seriously anymore. It was a shame, because the info they were presenting was actually pretty useful!

   Harsh opinion alert: I don't understand why someone would think that the public is so stupid that they would be impressed by these titles. Unless that is the market that someone wants to attract.

   The thing is, when people search for hypnosis services on the web, there are often advertisements next to the search results that say things like "Earn your Clinical Hypnotherapy Diploma for $200!" or "Become an Elite Certified Hypnotist With Our One-Day Course!" So anyone who trumpets their made-up credentials as a major selling point is really not doing themselves a favor, in fact they are positioning themselves as the type of person who would fall for get-rich-quick late-night-TV-infomercial no-money-down-real-estate I-Bought-This-Diploma-and-Now-I'm-My-Own-Boss work-from-home-stuffing-envelopes schemes. Not exactly the type who inspires confidence in terms of helping others achieve personal success. /End of Harsh Opinion.

   I agree with you completely. DHTs and PhDs in hypnosis or hypnotherapy are worthless, and bad for our profession.

   I'd love to hear someone with such a "degree" comment and make a case for getting that "credential".
