The Medical Series
Make your advanced training count -
Train with a State Licensed School and a State Licensed Curriculum

(See Course Dates Above - click here)

These courses are designed as post graduate level certification for the Certified professional hypnotherapist who wants to sharpen and expand their skill in specialty areas.  The courses may be taken one at a time and don't have to be taken in a particular order.  Certificates are  issued for each course.

There are fifteen courses in the Medical Hypnosis Certification (C.M.Ht.) Program. We have designed these courses so that a certified hypnotherapist with 120 hours of training from a state licensed hypnosis school may enter this program of certification. These courses begin every other year and the program may be entered at any time, courses may be taken consecutively or one at a time.  Certification occurs when all 15 courses have been completed.


Introduction to Physiology & Anatomy
is designed to introduce the hypnotherapist to body systems and some of the common problems with each system and suggestions for hypnosis intervention strategies.  Location:  Courtyard Marriott in Farmington Hills

Rapid and Instantaneous Inductions
is a course no one should be without.  You will finish this course as an adept in speed inductions, learning the subtle nuances that make these gems work every time with any client.  Standing up, sitting down, or in a hospital bed these inductions save time when you need it.
Speed Inductions are very useful when there is a maximum of work to be done and a short amount of time to do it in.  A rapid or instantaneous induction is not only quick but often quite a deep trance state.  They are useful for deepening a trance state, fractionation, and conditioning a client for future sessions.  Location:  Courtyard Marriott in Farmington Hills

Creating Medical Programs
is  designed to teach individual hypnotherapists how to develop hypnotic strategies for a wide variety of medical conditions.  Programs are developed using language patterns developed via Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) and specialized usage of Waking Hypnosis techniques.  This is an extension of the previous course on Physiology & Anatomy.  Location:  Courtyard Marriott in Farmington Hills

Smoking Cessation
teaches the hypnotherapist how to conduct a successful stop smoking program.  Our client's at Clinical Care Network have reported over 90% long term success rate with this program. Location Wayne State-Oakland Center in Farmington Hills, MI

Subconscious Mind Healing (SMH)
is a variation of the wonderful Analytical Hypnosis process developed by Dr. Edgar Barnett.   In this technique (developed by Frank Garfield) there is no dialogue between therapist & client.  Rather, the therapist guides the client through a subconscious process to find the original cause and the solution of the presenting problem.  Often times the therapist and even the client is unaware of the cause of the problem, yet resolution is achieved. 

Weight/Shape Management
shows the hypnotherapist how to conduct an effective program focusing on finding a new body shape rather than losing weight.  We find this to be a more effective program because the subconscious mind doesn't want to lose anything but is quite happy to find a new shape.  After all, it isn't your weight that doesn't fit into those favorite clothes ... it is the shape of your body.  This program encourages a healthy life style that promotes healthy eating, exercise and stress management.  

Pregnancy & Childbirth - Hypno-birthing, The Garfield Method
is one of the few programs that encompasses pre-pregnancy issues, the pregnancy, the delivery, and post natal areas of childbirth.  The focus of this program is on individual attention to the mother and her needs as they arise throughout the process of having a child.  Hypnosis has proven effective in maintaining a comfortable pregnancy, an easy delivery, and quick recovery following the birth. 

Trauma Management
demonstrates how shock is an altered state of consciousness that can be used hypnotically to induce change in an injured persons condition, e.g., bleeding, swelling, bruising, pain, etc.. 

Hypnodontics (All aspects of hypnosis in dentistry)
covers just about anything and everything you could possibly use in dental hypnosis including:  Hypnoanesthesia, Bruxism, TMJ, braces, bridges, adjusting to false teeth , rapid healing after an extraction, minimize or eliminate bleeding during cleaning or following an extraction, and much, much more. 

Basic Core Issue Clearing
is an adaptation of a process originally developed by Joan Ratliff, B.A., CHt and is presented by Cheryl Beshada, CMHt.  The Core Issue Clearing Process is a form of regression therapy.  It is designed as an all inclusive process to uncover, release and resolve the client's presenting issue.  Joan Ratliff originally designed the Core Issue Clearing to be used solely as an Ideomotor process.  Cheryl Beshada added the option of Higher Self Work and of verbal communication to elicit further resolution and integration. Sometimes clients are aware of the cause of the issue and sometimes they are not.  Conscious awareness is not always necessary in order for the problem to be resolved.  The comparison and analogy of the subconscious mind to a computer is introduced and a safe file folder is established to hold the client's core issues.  The therapist asks strategically formulated questions that illicit responses that are then categorized into groups according to similarity.  Some issues are similar in nature and may pertain to the same Initial Sensitizing Event and others may have an entirely different cause that still pertain to the client's presenting issue.   We have found this process to be very thourough and effective for resolution of core issues.  .. 

Core Issue Clearing - Origin of Illness  (Prerequisite - Basic Core Issue Clearing)  
A firm understanding and skill in the Basic Core Issue Clearing process is a prerequisite to this class.  A deep understanding of medical protocol is included in this course as well as an understanding as to what can be healed totally or partially, as well as to what symptoms can be alleviated.  The therapist learns how to research and formulate questions that pertain to specific medical conditions.  These questions are strategically designed  to elicit feelings, emotions, and other causes that have contributed to the client's presenting illness.  These issues are then released and resolved acording to the structure and format of the Basic Core Issue Clearing Process. 

Pre & Post Surgery and Organ Transplants
is a course that was just written in the year 2002 following requests from several clients we worked with during the previous year. Pre surgery anxiety can present many problems for the patient as well as the surgeon.  Most of these problems can be easily overcome with hypnosis.  Post Surgery Recovery can be much shorter in duration and much more comfortable through the use of hypnosis. This course also includes processes to help client's adapt to appliances for hip and knee replacement surgery as well as prosthesis and phantom pain.  Organ Transplants present some very unique problems.  Both pre and post surgery processes are useful for organ transplants.  Sometimes organs are rejected when by all rights they shouldn't be because there is no logical medical reason for a rejection.  Many organ recipients report changes in personality traits.  Taking on some characteristics of the donor is not uncommon.  We've scientifically researched why some of these things happen and how hypnosis can help change these phenomenon. 

Hypnotic intervention for Pain Management
 
is extremely useful and patients can be taught how to employ it through self hypnosis as well as with a therapist.  Various techniques are employed for acute pain as well as for chronic pain.  Learn  techniques to alleviate numerous types and varieties of pain, inclluding phantom pain  post limb amputation.   Many of our private clients have reported that they came in with headaches or body aches & pains that were gone after their session for something unrelated.  Deep relaxation alone will reduce or eliminate many aches & pains without even addressing them directly.  Specific hypnosis direction to a particular area of concern can reduce or eliminate discomfort literally within seconds.  Frank will show you techniques that have eliminated migrane headaches in 30 seconds over the telephone.  .. 

Hypnotic Intervention for Cancer Patients
could be a career specialty in and of itself.  You will be shown hypnosis techniques that effectively reduce or eliminate pain and reduce or eliminate side effects of Chemotherapy and Radiation Therapy (hair loss, nausea, weakness, etc).  These programs in conjunction with medical care have also been effective in reducing the size of tumors, the growth rate of tumors and cancer cell production, and in some cases elimination of the cancer completely.  .. 


 
The Professional Series.
Make your advanced training count - Train with a State Licensed School and a State Licensed Curriculum


These courses are designed as post graduate level certification for the Certified professional hypnotherapist who wants to sharpen and expand their skill in specialty areas.  The courses may be taken one at a time and don't have to be taken in a particular order.  Certificates are  issued for each course.


Anxiety, Fears & Phobias
Many people today have anxiety about upcoming events, fears about driving & flying, and intense fears called phobias about heights, spiders, snakes, germs, etc.  This course provides advanced training in hypnotic interventions to assist the client in overcoming these disruptions in their life.


Creating Metaphors
For thousands of years the most effective method of teaching has been through the use of metaphors.  The subconscious mind responds well and positively to stories that illustrate how someone or something changed.  This course is about how to create effective therapeutic stories.


Sports Performance
This course was created from the hundreds of professional athletes we've seen as clients requesting hypnotic intervention to overcome blocks that prevented an athlete from excelling in their particular sport.  Cheryl Beshada and Frank Garfield share their experience in successfully helping atheletes excel in many, many varieties of sport.


Dream Therapy
Frank Garfield is the author of an international best selling book entitled DREAMS, Unlock the Secrets of Your Subconscious Mind.  This book has been reprinted in hard cover 8 times since 1995 and is published by Barnes & Noble.  You will receive your own Dream Interpretation Dictionary and learn how to distinguish the different types of dreams and help clients understand what their dreams are telling them.


Relationships
One of the best courses a hypnotherapist can take.  Understanding the dynamics of inter-relationships (personal, family, business, romantic, etc.) and the role of personal priorities will clearly tell a client why a particular relationship isn't working and what needs to happen to resolve that problem.  Clients begin to recognize disruptive patterns that can then be reframed through the hypnotherapeutic process.


Taking Care of Business w/ Risk Management
A person can be the best therapist there is and yet fail because they don't don't know how to conduct business, they don't understand certain business principles such as accounting, proper advertising, not knowing how to make or use a business plan, and such things as selective Target Marketing.  This one day course is taught in conjunction with our excellent Clinical Hypnosis Institute CHt Certification course and is open to all certified hypnotherapists interested in enhancing their business skills.


Grief & Loss
Some people get over things easily and others take years and a great deal of counseling before they feel normal again.  Hypnotic intervention can short-cut months and even years of grief through a process called 'CLOSURE.'  Grief and loss can take many forms including loss of a loved one, loss of a job, loss of home and lifestyle due to disaster and even loss of relationship
