Confidentiality 
Guaranteed

Hypnotists are legally subject to the same HIPAA confidentiality laws that apply to counselors and doctors: we may not disclose your personal information to third parties without your approval. The sanctity of your confidentiality is taken most seriously at Beaudry Hypnosis. Client files are not stored at the office. Sessions are not taped. Beaudry takes session notes in her own kind of semi-legible longhand. This means your secrets are safe at Beaudry Hypnosis.

Privacy Style

Beaudry Hypnosis an extra step by working Privacy Style. This means that you will never be required to disclose the details of your situation, past or present, either in or out of trance. Beaudry can do all the work without hearing your deep secrets. On the other hand, if it would be helpful for you to disclose details, you are free to do so. Your privacy decisions are completely under your control before, during, and after the session. Beaudry understands that you are a unique individual, capable of making your own privacy decisions in the moment. And by the way: hypnosis is not a truth serum. You may easily tell lies while in hypnosis, which is one more reason why Beaudry chooses to work Privacy Style. Honesty really is the best policy, and your secrets are safe at Beaudry Hypnosis, whether you speak them out loud or not.

Self Hypnosis for 
Pain Management

Under the laws of most USA states, unless a hypnotist is also a medical professional, he or she may not take away the physical pain of others, for that constitutes “practicing a healthcare profession without a license,” and it is a felony. This means that any competent hypnotist is able to fade your pain, but only medical professionals may legally do so. So here’s the solution:  you can be easily and legally taught self hypnosis and how to fade your own pain, which is perfectly legal. This is great for you, since you will not be dependent upon having a hypnotist present every time you need to fade feelings of physical discomfort. You’ll be able to do it yourself. And it only takes one session to teach you how to do both self hypnosis and pain management.

Please Note

Hypnotists may not legally diagnose, heal, or give counsel on any medical or psychological disorder unless they also happen to actually be a medical or psychological professional. Even to engage in specific work on a therapeutic issue of a medical or psychological nature, hypnotists must work under the auspices of a doctor’s written referral. And this is as it should be. Hypnosis is not a substitute for any medical or psychological treatment. Please clearly understand what a hypnotist does:  we guide you into a state where you access your own insight, transformation, and inner change.
