WSH119 - Dr. Dwight Damon on Hypnotism as Profession

July 06, 2017

Today’s extraordinary guest, Dr. Dwight Damon, started with an interest in magic as a kid since his parents owned an entertainment agency. He began exploring hypnosis in 1949 and founded the National Guild of Hypnotists in 1950. One of the organization’s legacies is to assist and support beginning hypnotists who are starting to establish their careers in the industry.


Today, Dr. Dwight talks about his career journey from magic to hypnotism to chiropractic practice and back to hypnotism. He shares the progression of the hypnosis curricula as the years went by, some pieces of advice for new hypnotists seeking to get established in the industry, and the significance of why hypnotists should get out in the community and talk about hypnosis.
