Clinical Hypnotherapist Certification

Certified Hypnotherapist, (C.Ht.): There are three courses that lead to certification as a clinical hypnotherapist. Each course module builds on the previous one and includes computer disks that duplicate the written manuals provided to our students with each course. These classes are held on the 2nd and 4th weekend (Saturday/Sunday from 9:00 a.m.to 5:00 p.m.) of each month. Dates may change due to some holidays.

MODULE ONE

Module I introduces the discipline of hypnosis basics to the beginning student. Hypnotherapy is a two part process of Hypnosis and Therapy.  In Module I the primary focus is on the basics of psychology, hypnotic induction and how it is implemented in order to help someone Stop Smoking and to learn & teach Self Hypnosis.  

MODULE TWO

In Module II the students are introduced to hypnotic regression therapy and pain management.  Their knowledge and experience will be expanded through the subjects listed below and the use of advanced methods of hypnosis, language skills, and therapeutic processes. Students may apply what they’ve learned in class to work with a client under supervision in a professional hypnotherapy clinic.

MODULE THREE

In this Module the student learns more advanced Regression Therapy processes through the use of Analytical Hypnotherapy and the subjects listed in the Syllabus.  

We want all of our students to be successful upon graduation and one of the most unique parts of this certification process is the last day of the course when we cover the business aspects of a successful hypnotherapy practice.
