The Art of Integrative Hypnosis:

A Comprehensive Hypnosis Training

Level One and Two Certification Training

(80hours-Classroom Training plus 40 hours of Individual Application)

(Approved by the American Board of Hypnotherapy and The International Association of Counselors and Therapists)

You are invited to begin your journey into the field of hypnosis. Some of you have found us in pursuit of a new profession, some of you would like to acquire another powerful set of tools to assist in your current profession, and others of you may have simply found us out of sheer curiosity. And we are delighted with whichever path that has led you here.
 

Who is using hypnosis?

Although you might think therapists are the only people using hypnotic tools, today however, this is not so. Sales professionals use hypnosis to paint vivid pictures in their prospects minds. Persuasion experts such as marketers and advertisers use words in a precise manner to move you in a certain direction. Negotiators use specific elements of rapport building and elegant language patterns to navigate between opposing sides to come to a win-win resolution for both parties. Doctors and dentists use hypnosis to suggest faster and more thorough recovery. They have also been known to use hypnosis as a natural anesthetic to reduce the amount of drugs needed, and also in cases where patients are allergic to traditional anesthesia. And the most obvious use of hypnosis would have to be by Hollywood (That's how they keep you in those theater seats for hours at a time). So the real question is who isn't using hypnosis?

Can I get a general overview of the whole training?

Sure. In each of the weekends of the two levels, we will be covering specific aspects of the concept of hypnosis, so that you walk away with a global understanding of the field as well as specific maps/models, techniques, and applications of which hypnosis is comprised. We will also cover the history as well as learn from the leaders in the field such as Estabrooks, Elman, and of course the late, great Milton H. Erickson who was a master of conversational hypnosis.

The objective of each level varies. Level One focuses more on the basics. Level Two delves into more advanced components.

Who should attend?

Whether you are interested in this course for your personal development, for becoming certified as a Hypnotist, for acquiring greater depth and flexibility as a communicator, for learning persuasive and hypnotic sales techniques, or for developing proficiency as a hypnotist, you will learn powerful skills and techniques that you can immediately incorporate into your life and your work. The first weekend of Level One is open to all participants, no prerequisites.

How will this training differ from others out there?

If you have looked around there are many hypnosis trainings out there, and it is important to choose the best one for you. Some of them teach you hypnosis totally consciously, so you can really talk intelligently about hypnosis without any real skill, while others are teaching it completely unconsciously, so you don't have a clue as to how you know what you know. The focus of this training, as the name states, is on integrating the best in hypnosis, hypnotherapy, and the art and science of personal change. And to do that effectively means learning hypnosis at both the conscious and unconscious levels. We believe that this will build a solid foundation for those of you who desire to go further in this field.

If I am already a Hypnotist, how can I still benefit from this training?

First of all, Hypnotists need at least 15 continuing education credits per year in accordance with most certifying organizations. This is will fulfill that requirement. But more importantly, most hypnotists have learned to do hypnosis with a script, and when the client doesn't fit into the mold of the script, then the hypnotist is "stuck." This training will take your skills beyond scripted hypnosis. You may still use a script if you choose, but after this training, you will have the skills, confidence, and a framework to customize trance for each person. And that means, better results... And that means more referrals!

Another thing you can expect from this training is a closer look at you. You'll be requested to explore new ways for you to enter and experience trance. You'll discover more about your own inner world, which will lead to a greater understanding about the uniqueness of other people's inner worlds. In short, this training will provide you an opportunity to work on you for you.

How many hours of training is sufficient?

That depends on how the training is conducted. Most institutes that teach hypnosis as an academic subject in an academic style, teach it in 500+ hours. Others send you on your way in a weekend training course. In those cases, you end up having a very minimal understanding and hardly any skill development of hypnosis. There are even some schools certifying individuals who are only required to read books, listen to tapes, and watch videos. And although that may assist in understanding hypnosis, skill acquisition comes from practice, plain and simple. Hypnosis is something that must be experienced from both chairs (the hypnotist's chair and the client's chair) to have thorough comprehension. What we are offering you is a comprehensive training with sufficient hours of classroom training and more importantly a strong emphasis on practicing the science of hypnosis, so that it eventually becomes an art that you make your own. At the end of the day, the real training begins with your clients, who are your "real" teachers.
