Reading hypnotherapy books, eBooks, and professional articles can be good for newly qualified hypnotherapists, whose time and budget for CPD can be limited. It’s a cost-effective way to enhance your skills, deepen your knowledge, and meet ongoing professional development targets.
Reading doesn’t provide a certificate or other proof of completion, but is a highly valuable form of self-directed hypnotherapy CPD. It helps you stay informed about techniques, theory, and client-focused strategies.
How to Record Reading Books and Personal Study for CPD
To make the most of your reading:
- Write a brief review or summary after finishing a hypnotherapy book
- Note the page numbers of the most useful chapters or techniques
- If reading online, record URLs with a short description of the content
- Keep a CPD record of what you read and any practical applications
This provides evidence to your professional body that you have actively engaged in hypnotherapy CPD, rather than simply purchasing books. It also creates a ready reference to revisit for techniques or ideas to use with clients.
