Can you answer So Tir's question about Hypnosis?:

Hey, gang.
What is the most cost-effective way to both learn therapeutic hypnosis and to become licensed (et cetera) in order to practice such? I am located in the United States, and naturally each state will vary. A Yahoo / Google search yielded scores of obvious results, however I want some human interaction on this question if possible.

Also, thank you very much for your time. You have other things to do, and I respect you for your time and efforts. Really.
Sorry to forget details…
I have some background in the basics, and I have successfully induced and maintained two people though limb cataleptic state. Also, in one subject I was able to help her manage arthritis pain down to much more tolerable levels. A college pre-medical senior, I anxiously await more insights.
