Hypnotherapists are not allowed to give relationship “counselling.”* However, it is okay to provide relationship “strategies” for clients who are experiencing conflicts in their romantic partnership. For example, I typically describe characteristics of the Emotional and Physical Sexuality/personalities and how they behave in the context of a relationship to all of my clients. I also outline the seven key factors of a successful romantic partnership. Last but certainly not least, I might offer the following suggestions:
- Speak real words of appreciation to your partner every day. For example, “Watching you with the children, I can go to work knowing they are taken care of.”
- Gossip. Talk to your partner/spouse about what went on during your day. Share information, anecdotes etc. When your partnership is based in love, it is actually very sexy to hear that someone else find’s your significant other attractive, too!
- Ask questions for information, not to criticize the other person. Never talk to your spouse/lover in a way that you would address your kids.
- Request for change. The way you deal with anger during a conflict is very important. Don’t speak to your partner the way you would never speak to your best friend. No name-calling, no belittling. The relationship has to be built on respect.
- Share fantasies and dreams and visions of the future.
*Business
and Professions Code 2908: California law allows access by California residents to complementary
and alternative health care practitioners who are not providing services that
require medical training and credentials. The purpose of a program of hypnotherapy
is for vocational and avocational self-improvement (Business and Professions
Code 2908) and as alternative or complimentary treatment to healing arts
services licensed by the state. A hypnotherapist is not a licensed physician or
psychologist, and hypnotherapy services are not licensed by the state of
California. Services are non-diagnostic and do not include the practice of
medicine, neither should they be considered as a substitute for licensed
medical or psychological services or procedures.
