The programs referred to on this website are a service to the community provided by members of the Key West Jaycees. They were established in response to the tremendous increase in community stress that occurred after the 9/11/01 tragedy in New York.
The primary educator is Monica Geers Dahl, certified with the International Medical and Dental Hypnotherapy Association (IMDHA). Monica has been exploring hypnosis and mind power techniques personally since 1970, and has been working professionally in the field of hypnosis since 1985 when she founded Experience Hypnosis, a private practice in hypnosis. In response to requests from health care providers who were curious to learn how she was getting the results with medical patients who had failed to respond to traditional allopathic treatment, she compiled a three part Hypnotherapy Training Manual to teach "what works". She is presently a doctoral student in Counseling Psychology at Argosy/Sarasota. If you would like to know more about Monica, her resume is posted on a separate page, or you can contact her directly at 305-296-9945, or gammot@aol.com.
Florida law requires that all therapeutic applications for hypnotherapy be done under the supervision, direction, and prescription of a member of the healing arts (Chapter 485: Hypnosis). A copy of the Florida law regarding the use and practice of hypnosis is found on our page regarding Florida Law, and can also be found by accessing the State of Florida online. Initially, the licensed health care provider giving supervision for the hypnotherapy portions of these programs was Dr. Ray McKnight, co-founder of the Truman Medical Center located at 540 Truman Avenue, Key West, FL, and president of the Monroe County Medical Association until he retired in 2003. If you are seeking hypnosis for therapeutic purposes, make an appointment with your health care provider and obtain a prescription for hypnosis before initiating any treatment in these or other hypnosis programs.
If you are planning to study hypnosis for professional use with others, be sure to familiarize yourself and comply with the laws governing the use of hypnosis in your State. There is no national law, organization, or licensing body governing the use of hypnosis in the United States, the laws vary from State to State. The programs listed on this website do not provide CEUs, they are intended for personal development, and life enrichment.
