Check it out. HMI is a NA institution in California that teaches hypnosis and clinical hypnotherapy and has some courses available through DE. For anyone who is interested... their introductory course, Foundations of Hypnotherapy, is being offered for free. I haven't looked into it more to see if there is a catch, or fine print, but so far it looks legit. I might try this over the summer.
