Cognitive and Awake Hypnosis


Practitioner Level
VALIDATED TRAINING
General Hypnotherapy Standards Council

This Training has been assessed as part of a Certified Practitioner Training in Clinical Hypnosis, validated by the General Hypnotherapy Standards Council (UK)

We believe that the fundamentals of neuro linguistic programming provide an excellent framework for understanding and more effectively delivering change though hypnosis. This is born from long experience in delivering therapy and training using both.

On this training you discover the fundamentals of how change happens at the unconscious level, based on a cognitive model of behaviour. You will also learn powerfully persuasive communication techniques, and how to use ‘waking state’ hypnosis – brief moments of hypnotic trance. Together this will form a framework for you to be able to use hypnotic language to direct someone towards a particular behaviour and to help resolve emotional , behavioural and even certain health problems.

Course details

This training is one of the three training stages required to be certified in Clinical Hypnosis at Practitioner level, the highest nationally recognised level of training as certified through the GHSC. It is delivered over 7 days, usually spread out over a two weeks or a month. You can choose to study this course at any time during your Hypnosis training towards Practitioner Certification.

The course content is in common with what is frequently taught on many NLP (Neuro Linguistic Progamming) trainings. You will also have the option to learn the amazingly powerful techniques of Time Line Therapy®, and qualify for certification in both.

Note: there are some training institutes which offer a hypnosis certification as part of an NLP Practitioner training. Usually this comprises no more than a few days training in hypnosis, and very little of the strategies of using hypnosis for therapy. This is fine as an introduction to hypnotic phenomena but in my experience, not sufficient if you really want to learn the proper use of hypnosis for therapy.
