This 30-second video gives a concise answer to the question: what is QHHT®?
WATCH THE 30-SECOND QHHT® INTRODUCTION VIDEOQHHT® stands for Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique. It is a hypnosis method developed by Dolores Cannon in which a practitioner guides you into a deeply relaxed, focused state while you remain aware, able to respond, and involved throughout. Sessions are normally held once and follow your own responses rather than a predetermined storyline.
What is explored arises from your own perceptions, responses, and questions rather than from a storyline imposed by the practitioner.
Depending on the person, the experience may take the form of memories, symbolic scenes, past-life narratives, emotions, physical sensations, or a sense of inner guidance.
QHHT® is not a substitute for medical or psychological treatment. It is a complementary, self-exploratory approach that may support greater awareness, clarity, and personal insight alongside appropriate professional care.
Essential Concepts of QHHT®
QHHT® combines deep relaxation with an exploration guided by your own perceptions, allowing insights, images, emotions, or physical sensations to emerge differently in each session.
the Subconscious
“The Subconscious” and “Higher Self” are QHHT® terms for the source to which clients and practitioners attribute insights or information that may emerge during a session. They are not clinical diagnoses or standard psychological concepts.
Theta State
Within QHHT®, the theta state refers to a deeply relaxed and focused state in which you remain aware and able to respond.
Client-Centered Exploration
The practitioner does not impose a storyline or tell you what you should experience. Your responses, perceptions, and questions help guide what is explored.
Single, In-Depth Session Format
QHHT® is typically offered as one extended session of approximately five to seven hours, comprising an initial interview, the hypnosis portion, and a closing review.
Recorded for Reflection
The hypnosis portion of the session is recorded so you can review it privately afterward.
Relationship to Past-Life Regression
Past-life material is one of the forms exploration can take in QHHT®, but it is not the goal of a session and does not arise for everyone. Where such material does surface, it is treated as content to reflect on rather than as a factual claim about history. (Covered in full on QHHT® and Past Life Regression.)
What the Name QHHT® Means
Each part of the name describes an aspect of how the method is practised. These are descriptive terms used within QHHT®, not clinical or scientific classifications.
Quantum
Within QHHT®, “quantum” is used descriptively rather than as a scientific classification, in the same way as the method's other terms.
Healing
Refers to the sense of resolution, relief, or changed perspective that some people describe following a session. It does not imply medical treatment, diagnosis, or cure, and no particular outcome is promised.
Hypnosis
Hypnosis here carries its ordinary meaning: a guided state of deep relaxation and focused attention. You are not asleep, and you remain aware, able to speak, and able to respond throughout.
Technique
QHHT® follows a defined, teachable structure — an initial interview, the hypnosis portion, and a closing review — rather than an improvised process. This is what allows it to be taught consistently to practitioners.

The Evolution of QHHT®
Origins
In 1968, during a hypnosis session, Dolores Cannon encountered material she interpreted as extending beyond the subject's present life. This became an early foundation of the method that would later be known as QHHT®.
How the Method Took Shape
Over the following decades, she refined the method, using voice, imagery, and visualization to help clients enter a deeply relaxed and focused state.
Professional Framework
In 2002, Dolores Cannon began formally teaching this method to other practitioners.
Contemporary Practice
Today, QHHT® continues to be taught and practiced internationally, with training available in multiple languages through the QHHT Official.
