Hypnotherapy Education and Certification

metamorphosis

This course is based 100% on Peer-Reviewed hypnosis research.
You decide what hypnosis is.
I will be your constant buffer and guide, especially through the practical application of the course into your practice and pursuits.
You will graduate with complete confidence and readiness to immediately be of service to others.
I received my advanced clinical education in hypnosis through the University of California - San Diego
The course was taught by a Physician and a Psychiatrist and offered to health professionals as an adjunct to traditional medicine.

Module 1 

  • You will Explore the history of hypnosis especially as it relates to Eastern cultures. Perhaps the elegance and simplicity practiced by the yogis and Buddha monks can offer us a better understanding, and a reason not to re-invent the wheel.

  • You will be able to understand how to simply evaluate a scientific research article

  • You will evaluate the different theories of hypnosis.

  • Pre-Hypnosis Interview

  • Establishing Client Suitability

  • Criteria to assess the effectiveness of your session

  • Criteria for clients you should refer to other professionals

  • Personality Types ( Introvert & Extroverts )

Mastering inductions effortlessly
You will learn multiple inductions and quickly realise and understand how simple the process is.
The course is individually based and will require 1 to 1 contact time at least twice a week ( Zoom, Skype etc. ).

Module 2

Successfully mastering induction techniques is just the first step as a hypnotist. Understanding how to apply specific vocabulary can quite literally make or break a hypnotherapy session. It is probably the biggest reason for a “Not so successful” client experience. I cannot emphasis the importance of this.
Whenever I do a clinical session, I give the client a few minutes afterwards to establish their equilibrium. But then I will throw in “Was there any words/phrases/images that I used that affected you. 
You will be amazed at the feedback you receive. It only makes sense! Look at interpersonal communication, how something said in complete innocence can be blown out of proportion———Now imagine that same thing occurring during a hypnotherapy session but amplified and magnified. You will study this application as it pertains to developing specific therapies, examples: 

  1. Weight Loss/Weight Management

  2. Acute/Chronic Pain

  3. Smoking Cessation

  4. Phobias

  5. Stress & Anxiety Reduction

  6. Natural Childbirth

  7. Sports Performance

It is my opinion that you will be a better-equipped therapist if you have an intimate understanding of your topic. For example, I coached a multitude of sports and was an ultra-endurance athlete. I am drawn to sports performance and market myself accordingly. I identify with the vocabulary of the athlete and I am therefore confident that I can help them. I also have chronic pain from a surgery that caused permanent nerve damage. Pain is a complex issue with a myriad of descriptors, and I have probably experienced most of them. When someone comes to me with pain issues, I can understand them on so many different levels and  *“prescribe the appropriate vocabulary.”*

Module 3

  • Marketing Strategies 

  • Setting up group seminars for weight loss and smoking cessation

  • Setting up online sessions

  • Creating self-hypnosis audios

  • Regression

  • Progression

  • What Science Says about Past Life Regression

Assessment 
60% of your grade will be practical, your ability to assess and hypnotise somebody. 
20% Synopsis of peer-reviewed research. ( Self-paced ) 
20% final paper of your choice related to your subject of interest. This can be an oral presentation (prerecorded or live) or written ( Self-paced ).

* Just as a Doctor prescribes a medication or a treatment plan, a hypnotherapist prescribes words and images.
