Clinical Hypnotherapy Approaches & Application, formally known as Transpersonal Hypnotherapy, is a foundation course that provides an understanding of the essence of the clinical hypnotherapy approach, the history of hypnosis, the language of hypnosis, and the application of hypnosis to psychotherapy. The course covers several hypnotic inductions, provides instruction on how to monitor trance states, utilize suggestibility tests, and both learn and teach self-hypnosis. This course also offers an introduction to Ericksonian, NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming), and Naturalistic approaches to hypnotherapy. This course teaches the student to master the following protocols: Progressive Muscled Relaxation, Journey to a Safe Place, Journey for Resources, Two-Way Com (The Golden Protocol), Separation of Interjected Parents, Abreaction/Reframing, Retrieval of Essential Aspects of the Self, Problem State/Desired State, Cutting Energetic Ties, Healing Childhood Abuse/Trauma, Working with the Shadow, NLP Introduction, Circle Integration and Timeline. Self-hypnosis, trance logic, safely entering and bringing a client out of trance states and many other therapeutic lectures are also built into this rich course.

This foundation course offers the opportunity to learn and practice journey work in a supportive environment, where each individual has the opportunity to be a student-client and a student-therapist.

The Hypnotherapy One course consists of hands-on experiential training where students either meet 1 time per month for a full weekend (Saturday and Sunday from 9:00 am to 5:30 pm) for 4 months or for 3 hours once per week for 16 weeks. Each training month (1 weekend or 4 weekly classes), three to five protocols and/or inductions are focused on through didactic training, live demonstration of each protocol, supervised practice of each protocol where there are Certified Hypnotherapists supervising our student practice dyads. Full clinical debriefing sessions follow each lecture, demonstration and practice session.
