YouTube is one of the world’s greatest learning institutions. You can find how-to videos for almost anything on this social platform, from renovating a house to fixing your car.
But what if you want to learn hypnotherapy from videos you can find online?
Anyone considering teaching themselves hypnotherapy using online training videos should be aware that videos can be made and posted by anyone. A major hindrance of self-study is that students do not know who they are learning from. While some video creators may have the best intentions, there is a big difference between having an opinion and actually knowing how hypnosis works. One reason we offer professional videos on our website, made by certified experts, is to combat this misinformation.
That said, there is much more to hypnosis than what you see in a one-hour video.
Can video hypnosis show successful results? Yes, but to fully understand the content you consume and apply that knowledge to real clients, you need a strong educational foundation.
Lacking proper context and training, these videos will do little to help you become a successful hypnotherapist.
Why Hypnotherapy Training and Certification Is Essential
Anyone who has the heart for helping others should explore hypnotherapy as a career, but there are more effective ways to go about it.
Hypnosis uses deep concentration, guided relaxation, and focused attention to achieve a heightened awareness state. It’s this guided state of heightened awareness and focus that helps people gain control over choices, anxiety, behaviors, pain, and more.
That’s why hypnotherapy is a serious business.

Individuals approach the idea of using hypnotherapy to find the relief they need from specific conditions, thoughts, or memories. A lot of trust gets placed in the therapist to achieve positive results.
Unless you know what to watch for during a hypnotherapy session, you won’t understand how to help your clients achieve lifelong results. That’s why certification and training are essential for anyone who wants to become a successful hypnotherapist.
I should note as well that all training isn’t equal. A hypnosis program that promises to turn you into a master hypnotist in five easy lessons is probably a poor investment.
Hypnosis Videos Are Not a Replacement for Authentic Experience
My goal is simple; to help heart-centered people master the process of changing themselves and others for life.
When you complete a quality training and certification course for hypnotherapy, you’ll gain relevant, hands-on experience in a safe environment. You’ll also learn more soft skills like patience, compassion, and how to have a calming presence in each session.
At Cascade Hypnosis Training, we go one step further and teach you how to build a successful, six-figure hypnotherapy business.
You won’t get that education from a simple video found online that promises to teach everything you need to know about hypnotherapy. You can learn some aspects of this discipline, but there is more to it than what this content offers.
The best training and certification program will help you start an ethically sound practice while offering the tools needed for a successful practice. Whether you want to start training online or in person, my goal is to help you help others appropriately.
