A hypnotherapist is a type of psychotherapist that treats the client by making suggestions to his or her subconscious mind. Mark Bowden is an internationally recognized therapist and life coach who uses hypnosis to help his clients improve their lives by overcoming challenges like anxiety, addictions, and phobias. He is a published author and has partnered with British Airways to produce an in-flight hypnotherapy channel.
Because hypnotherapy is often used in the context of behavioral, psychological, or medical care, most practitioners need a college degree or higher in order to practice. To help more students enter the field, Mark Bowden Hypnotherapy is offering a $500 scholarship to a student who intends to use hypnotherapy in his or her future career.
