If you've ever used the services of a professional hypnotist, how did you go about finding one you wanted to work with?

Word of mouth? Yellow Pages? professional referral?

And for what type of hypnotherapy (e.g., weight loss, quitting smoking, recovery of memory, gaining confidence, loss of fear)?

What were your criteria, and how did you shop?

Reference questions: (1) behavior modification and (2) memory retrieval.
