History of World Hypnotism Day

Dr. Jack Gibson was an Irish hypnotherapist who died in 2005. He spent much of his career treating psychosomatic disorders using hypnotherapy. The first World Hypnotism Day was clebrated  in 2006 and was dedicated in his honor.

World Hypnotism Day was established with the purpose of dispelling the numerous myths that have come into existence surrounding hypnotism thanks to Hollywood and popular literature. Hypnotism isn’t about ‘mind control’, and there’s no way to make someone do something they wouldn’t normally do. World Hypnotism Day seeks to overturn those misconceptions and more.

Events

Each year, hypnotherapists, hypnotists, and other hypnosis enthusiasts hold events to celebrate World Hypnotism Day. Come back soon to see the list that we have compiled.
