Become an Award Winning Hypnotherapist!
Commencing in 2012, there will be four annual awards every year for professional Hypnotherapists, so this is your chance to become an 'Award-winning Hypnotherapist', which will be wonderful publicity for your website and other material and will also assist you in getting local press coverage - always an excellent way of expanding your practice. Open to all APHP members in good standing, the awards are:
- Best Newcomer Award
- Client Management Award
- Best Technique Award
- Chairman's Award for Hypnotherapist of the Year
- APHP School of the Year
The awards carry certification and an engraved trophy to keep, which will be presented during the gala evening at the APHP Annual Conference. The winner of the Chairman's Award will also have their name engraved on the handsome APHP Perpetual Trophy which they will hold for a period of one year.
Here are the entry details for each category:
Best Newcomer Award
Eligibility: You will have graduated from your school or college within the last two years (as at the closing date for entries, shown later)
Submission requirements: An original induction and deepener suitable for use in a general hypnotherapy setting for delivering effective suggestion.
Client Management Award
Eligibility: Open to all.
Submission requirements: A client case study of 1000-2000 words, illustrating the way the client was 'handled' from commencement to the completion of therapy. This will be one of the more unusual cases which all working therapists encounter from time to time, rather than an 'every day' presenting difficulty or symptom. What we will be taking into account here is the approach taken, how any client fears were allayed, how resistance was by-passed, any advice sought, the pre-talk used, etc. as well as the presenting requirements of the client. We don't need details of the applied therapy unless they are especially relevant.
Best Technique Award
Eligibility: Open to all.
Submission requirements: A presentation for any specific therapy of your choice. A presentation is more than just a script and embodies the work you do with the client before commencing hypnosis. This can include specific information that you introduce to the client, whether you use PowerPoint or a computer, the type of pretalk, and any other aspect of preparation which contributes toward the success of the therapy.
Chairman's Award - Hypnotherapist of the Year
Eligibility: Open to all.
Submission requirements: For this award, you will need to have entered one of the previous three categories and also submit a 500 word suggestion script for the year's named symptom pattern or situation. We will be looking for elegance and originality here and your script will be taken into account as a whole with your other submission.
APHP School of the Year
Eligibility: Open to all APHP accredited schools.
Submission requirements: A list of graduates from your school who have joined APHP during the year ended on the closing date for submissions (below), including their names and graduation date. This award will go to the school submitting the highest number of new APHP members in the year.
Closing Date for 2013: September 8th
Chairman's Award Additional Script 2013: SELF-WORTH (500 words)
