Basic Hypnotism
Level I
While hypnosis is both a science and an art, this level focuses on the science aspect of hypnosis. Level I is designed to remove any misconceptions about hypnosis and to introduce the knowledge of the present use and modern studies of hypnosis.
Studies include the science of the mind,
the mind - body connection as well as the history and language of hypnosis.
In this level, many different types of testing, inductions, deepenings and terminations are presented.
Students learn how to work with children using hypnosis, as well as how to utilize and optimize the power within the subconscious mind by writing correct scripts and how to record these in a positive manner.
Level I also includes an overview of the laws and ethics of hypnosis at both the state and the national level.
Hypnotherapy
Level II
Completion of Level I is a pre-requisite.
This level of training is designed to build first level skills into programs such as Weight Loss, Stop Smoking, Sports Enhancement, Pain management, Hypno - birthing and other programs.
This level presents theories and specific applications for effective habit control techniques. Students learn the components of a successful hypnosis session, the pre - induction interview, the hypnotic session and the post - induction interview.
We devote time to develop each students private goals and their vision for their business.
Clinical Hypnotherapy
Level III
Completion of Level I and II are pre-requisite.
This level of the training focuses on teaching and demonstrating hypnosis in the therapeutic setting for the licensed health care provider or the complementary and alternative health care setting for the lay person.
This level includes in-depth study and demonstration of advanced methods of hypnosis and hypnotherapy techniques and principles. Students learn techniques such as Parts Therapy, Inner Dialogue, Regression and other emotional release techniques.
Level III demonstrates hypnotherapy principles and techniques to use to allow the mind to heal as well as gather essential criteria on effective healing imagery and applications.
Level III focuses on the practice of the Art of Hypnotherapy. Students have the opportunity to experience this wonderful tool themselves.
There is a very powerful skill that we all have at the tip of our tongue, the ability to influence others with integrity. The most common experience of many is that they are not heard, or responded to in the way they anticipate.
This course changes that experience into one of success, in every communication. One graduate traveled to Washington DC right after attending the course and negotiated a multi-million dollar contract in the first go-around of negotiations. This had never been accomplished by anyone before.
This course is for professionals in any field who would like to know how it is that we do communicate, in other words, how is the person you are speaking to, going to be able to hear what you say.
Individuals think and respond through their own inner language processor, and when you attend the Communication Course you are able to instantly recognize that inner system, and speak directly to that person consciously and subconsciously.
This is useful in any field from hypnotherapy, business people, executives, sales people, to communication within the family. One woman, who attended the course to improve her sales and marketing, discovered the difficulty that she had been having with her step-son, was because of the different language systems in which they were speaking. She changed her approach, established rapport with her step-son, and was instantly rewarded with the response that she had been seeking.
In this course you learn the different representational systems that people use to communicate, and how to instantly identify and speak in that system; you discover your own model of the world as well; you learn to establish rapport and to speak directly to the subconscious mind, where the power of our ability to change and grow resides; you learn to elegantly command attention and get results; you learn the NLP presuppositions for language and their meaning, as well as the amazing communication strategies of one of the most renowned hypnotherapist of our times, Dr. Milton Erickson, founder of the Ericksonian Method.
