Dr. Serkan Akıncı

With hypnosis framed as a controllable, patient-aware process, Serkan Akıncı builds his sessions around safety and active consent—he describes hypnosis as not involving loss of consciousness, with the option to end the session whenever the patient wishes. As a specialist at the clinic in Konya, Turkey, he integrates clinical hypnosis with modern medical and psychological approaches, using it as a supportive method in appropriate cases after medical evaluation. He is a T.C. Sağlık Bakanlığı–approved hypnosis practitioner and has 20+ years of medical practice. After completing his medical education at Erciyes University Faculty of Medicine in 2005, he later trained in hypnosis through a Ministry of Health–certified program at Ankara Yıldırım Beyazıt University, receiving his Hypnosis Practice Certificate in 2019. His practice emphasizes techniques such as hypnotic induction and deepening, post-hypnotic suggestions, and deep relaxation, with specific suggestion work for targets like pain modulation, muscle relaxation, and ego strengthening. He also teaches patients what hypnosis is (and what it is not), addressing common concerns about control and consent during sessions.
