Dr. Sunil Prakash, Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist and Certified Trainer of Clinical Hypnotherapy
Introduce yourself! Please tell us about you and your life, so we can get to know you better.
In 1974 I joined a prominent business organisation as the head of the MIS department. While working, I attained a master's degree in business administration, i.e., MBA (finance). However, my professional journey took a different path in 1990 when I promoted Indian Handicrafts internationally. Over the years, I’m successfully managing my export company.
In 2008, I had a life-changing encounter while attending a Psychotherapy conference in the USA. I met a Clinical Hypnotherapist who introduced me to the remarkable effectiveness of Hypnotherapy as a healing modality. Inspired by this newfound knowledge and driven by a desire to dispel the myths and misconceptions surrounding Hypnosis in India, I felt a calling to share this healing practice with others.
Determined to pursue my passion for healing and teaching, I spent little time completing the Hypnotherapist course and Trainer's program from CHI USA. Within a year, I started my hypnotherapy academy and am now successfully running the California Hypnosis Institute Gurgaon in India, where I practice and teach Clinical Hypnotherapy.
I have a small, well-knit family, where all the children are married and settled. My spouse, a kind, gentle, caring personality, is too busy with her own creativity of dress designing and international networking.
Photography and Observing has been my hobby. Writing articles on mental health and sharing information with society is my passion. I love to help as many humans as I can with my might.

I was suffering from multiple phobias since my childhood days and consulted a lot of Psychiatrists but all in vein. They always gave tablets to control the anxiety. My life changed for the better when I contacted Dr. Sunil. With minimum effort and in 2-3 sittings of hypnotherapy, he gave me a new life. It has been almost 3 years and there is no anxiety which was a routine...”

— Meghaa Goel, Student
It was an exhilarating experience to get trained by Dr Sunil Prakash on the various facets of hypnotherapy. By itself, hypnotherapy is not an easy subject to learn, but Dr Prakash made it fun, useful, and absorbing. His emphasis was on acquiring very sound and practical hypnotherapy methods along with the required theoretical understanding, so that one is fully equipped to confidently handle all clients that come to seek help in any area. I think the value of training imparted was many times more than the fee he charged.

Hypnotherapy is something I never believed in, but it works tremendously! It is a great way to release and heal past traumas, be it 'childhood, adolescence, or adulthood.' The traumas heal subconsciously. And leaving addictions and seeing freedom.
I took three sessions one and a half years back. Since then, gradually, I came back to the right life. Past experiences didn't trouble my mind. I started reading! I read eight of David Hawkins books and love reading now. I started meditating everyday twice, morning and evening, half an hour each, practicing Vipassana. Meditation is helping me be better each day. I have been clean and sober for one year, haven't used any substance, and it feels like I have been given a new life. Using any kind of intoxicant is death for me and I love the freedom that I have been given. The only intoxication I live by is divine intoxication. The key for me is 'No company is better than bad company'. I surrendered to God last year on 18th January 2022. The surrender is very important because it will take your consciousness to willingness. Once you reach willingness life is full of possibilities, and you're ready to take them up in the right way.
I also started climbing mountains, ' mountaineering ' which was a childhood passion of mine but never gave it a try. I climbed six 6000m+ peaks last year alone and summited four of them, all in Ladakh.
I have taken place for a ten-year lease in Leh and am setting up my gym there, which will be ready by this year in the first half and functioning for the public. The name of the gym is ' Greywolf Gym.
I will also be going for Everest and Lhotse Expedition next year in April which are both 8000m+ peaks.
I will be taking more hypnotherapy sessions to heal and become better each day. My life's motto is ' Walk the right path and never give up. '
The first keys are acceptance and willingness.
Hypnotherapy works in ways you've never believed in. Just accept and be willing!

In what ways does California Hypnosis Institute Gurgaon engage with the local community or contribute to promoting holistic health and wellness beyond individual client sessions?
There are some ways in which we contribute Like:
Community Workshops and Events: We regularly host workshops, seminars, and events open to the public on topics related to hypnotherapy, mindfulness, stress management, and personal development. These events serve as opportunities for community members to learn new skills, connect with like-minded individuals, and explore holistic approaches to well-being.
Collaborations with Local Organizations: We partner with local organizations, schools, and businesses to offer specialized workshops and programs tailored to their needs. Whether it's providing stress management workshops for employees, mindfulness sessions for students, or wellness seminars for community groups, we strive to make our expertise accessible to all.
Educational Initiatives: We offer educational initiatives aimed at empowering individuals with knowledge and skills to enhance their well-being. This includes providing free resources such as articles, videos, and podcasts on topics related to hypnotherapy, mindfulness, and personal growth, as well as offering scholarships or discounted services to those in need.
Tell us about your greatest career achievement so far.
Self-discovery and growth. I've realized that each challenge I've faced has been a stepping stone towards becoming a more resilient, empathetic, and compassionate individual. Whether it's overcoming personal hurdles, fostering meaningful connections, or making a positive impact in the lives of others, my greatest achievement is the ongoing journey of becoming the best version of myself.
Before my journey and as an adult, I was an angry young man. The result, and that too perfect, was my calling, and in that garb, I made more foes than friends. I failed at various places due to my behaviour, but then this taught me a lesson to be calm and peaceful, to balance yourself, and to look at things from others' perspectives. When I understood how others are under stress, trauma, and bad relations, it gave me an insight into change for positivity.
Finally, it gave me the acumen to write down four books with a general understanding of mental health and wellness.
If you could change one thing about your industry, what would it be and why?
Stress in various forms, childhood traumas, and anxiety coupled with relationship issues are getting richer and richer in this new environment. Then the myth about Hypnosis. It is seen as a taboo. People shrug to come to the hypnotherapist as they think it is even dangerous to look into their eyes. If someone sees me going to a Hypnotherapist’s clinic, he will think that I'm a lunatic.
So, we need to change our mindset to a more healthy understanding of this modality for a better, healthier, peaceful, and calmer lifestyle.
Tell us about a pivotal moment in your life that brought you to where you are today.
Keeping abreast of continuing knowledge, attending advanced courses, networking with international organisations, creating new paradigms, spreading the word, presenting papers, writing books, and most importantly, learning from the traumas of my clients and students, has brought me where I am. I have learnt what life is, where it begins, and where it will end. I stay away from Maya, Moh, and Madira. I am satisfied with what I have, a desire to do or return to society.
