Health & Medical Disclaimer
The following disclaimer is important. Please read it carefully before enrolling in or using any of our courses or materials.
Not Medical or Clinical Advice
Self-hypnosis and hypnotherapy techniques taught in our courses are educational tools for personal growth, stress management, and general wellbeing. They are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical or mental health condition.
Always seek the advice of your qualified healthcare provider, medical doctor, or licensed mental health professional with any questions you may have regarding a medical or psychological condition. Never disregard professional advice or delay seeking it because of something you have read or learned through our courses.
Who Should Not Use These Techniques Without Medical Clearance
You should consult your doctor or mental health professional before using self-hypnosis or hypnotherapy techniques if you:
- Have been diagnosed with epilepsy, psychosis, schizophrenia, or any dissociative disorder
- Are currently experiencing severe depression, suicidal ideation, or a mental health crisis
- Are under the care of a psychiatrist or are taking prescribed psychiatric medication
- Have a history of severe trauma, PTSD, or abuse without professional support
- Are pregnant
- Are under the age of 18
Personal Responsibility
By enrolling in our courses, you acknowledge that you are voluntarily choosing to use these techniques and take full responsibility for your own wellbeing and safety. If at any point you feel uncomfortable, distressed, or unwell, you should cease the technique immediately and consult a qualified professional.
No Practitioner-Client Relationship
Use of our courses or communications with our team does not create a therapist-client, practitioner-patient, or any other professional relationship. Our course content is educational in nature and should not be treated as personalised clinical advice.
