A Message from the President (1.2)

According to an old proverb, a calm sea does not make a skilled sailor and it was most pleasing to see “all hands on deck” during the recent storm in South Australia, when a proposed amendment to the Psychological Practice Bill 2006 could have led to a return of restricting the use of hypnosis to psychologists, medical practitioners and dentists. The combined impact of submissions from CCH and the Associations and training institutions as well as a number of individuals resulted in the withdrawal of the proposed amendment and the waters are calm once more – for the time being at least.

This latest chapter in the history of Clinical Hypnotherapy serves to highlight that the CCH mission “to unite in one voice and passion, all clinical hypnotherapists and thereby to serve with the highest ideals, the interests and security of the profession, the practitioners and the clients of clinical hypnotherapy…” is not just a lofty ideal but a necessary stage in the evolution of our profession.

The high attendance at the CCH general meeting in February and at the Roy Hunter weekend workshop in March was tremendous as was the positive feedback we received about these events – thank you. The strong emphasis we place on providing high quality CPE activities which are open to all Clinical Hypnotherapists is but one of the ways in which we are striving to serve the interests of the clinical hypnotherapy profession.

Meanwhile, the momentum of CCH “work in progress” moves on at an almost relentless pace. The CCH submission to the major health funds is near to completion; the education sub-committee has been busy reviewing the educational standards of various professional bodies both nationally and overseas and we are in the process of acquiring funding to undertake the necessary research to produce comprehensive national standards of education and training; the steering committee is working on proposals from Clinical Hypnotherapy organisations in Europe and the USA to form further professional alliances; organisation of three CPE events coming up in May and June is well underway and we have just launched our new website and CCH online member forum.

We are busily doing our best to keep “walking the talk” and I am in awe of the wonderful energy, dedication and collegiality that have become the trademark of CCH.
