Course 2: Clinical Hypnotherapy Course

Learn to be a highly effective therapist by expanding your personal power and using dynamic strategies to achieve therapeutic effects utilising hypnosis effectively to access the client’s subconscious mind. This course teaches the student the art of applying hypnosis in a wide variety of clinical settings to a vast array of problems. The use of hypnosis provides a rapid and powerfully effective method to address personal problems, psychosomatic illnesses, stress problems and to achieve personal development, performance enhancement and personal goals.

Outline of the course:
This module focuses on teaching the understanding, techniques and strategies necessary for successful hypnotherapy practice. A successful hypnotherapist sees a very wide range of clients, many with problems and conditions that have been developing for a long time and have deep roots in the client’s past. The aim of hypnotherapy is to penetrate to the core of these problems and resolve them. The final stage of the therapy is to educate and train clients how to use their minds to solve problems and create a fulfilling life, rather than using their mental energies to sabotage or inhibit their success. Interview and communication skills are taught in-depth, as these are essential to developing rapport with the client and establishing the therapeutic relationship. Essential to the latter is the development in the student of the personal qualities of a highly effective hypnotherapist, which is an important learning strand in the module. Students learn important principles of therapeutic change and powerful methods to assess and understand problems effectively to help clients generate high levels of motivation and commitment to clearly defined goals. The teaching programme incorporates skills necessary to practice hypnotherapy at a high level of proficiency and avoid common causes of failures in therapy including inadequate or incorrect assessment of problems, lack of effective skills and how to apply them. Students are taught in-depth psychological and philosophical principles of hypnotherapy and how these are contrasted with psychotherapies using primarily conscious introspection.

Further methods of hypnotic induction, trance deepening and various phenomena of hypnotism are learned at this stage and students are taught to achieve a high level of technical proficiency in their practice. A key element in the teaching programme is the knowledge and skills essential to creating and delivering highly effective hypnotic programming tailored to the client’s needs. Dynamic methods of subconscious programming are taught to trainees for application with clients in performance enhancement in a variety of fields including sport, education and business and also for personal development, spiritual growth and health benefits. Advanced methods of self-hypnosis are taught for personal development and personal goals, including development of skills in hypnosis. Students learn to teach these self-hypnosis procedures to individuals and groups for powerful benefits in a wide range of applications, including highly effective stress management training.
