Accommodations: most students chose to share a house together.  We reserve a few houses in advance and there is usually 2 or 3 students per house. Accommodations are next door or within walking distance to our training. Students have Individual bedrooms and shared kitchens and bathrooms. Each house has a private garden.

Post training we have  a few months of  optional zoom meetings- they are included in your training fee. The zoom meetings are times to debrief, discuss your sessions, review your understanding of the material and how you are progressing, and to support you in building your practice. We also have guest speakers who may have other specialities in our field and so can share their own experiences and how they work. 

Our Agenda is divided into: 

Mornings, which are usually devoted to theory, discussions, exercises and demonstrations. 

Afternoons are usually one-on-one supervised practice between students, and conclude with debriefing review, feedback and support for personal development.

You will also learn through step by step exercises about interventions. Late afternoon is usually dedicated to debrief, feedback review and grounding.

Time to speak about personal development is offered and staff can be available for private mentoring sessions as well.

We also a focus on post training support for setting up your practice and developing and  integrating your skills and personal development that has begun throughout training. 

Six months post training we hold an optional supervised certification week where a combination of reviewing, exercises, induction writing and sessions with volunteers with supervision give more feedback culminating with teaching therapists how to create next steps plans with their clients.

Additional supervision weekends and review weeks upon request.

Module 2  covers working  with Regression Therapy as a method which entails exploring past events as an objective observer.  

An objective observer can gain clarity and insights which can help create a reframe (to shift  perspective) which can often release the emotional charge/block linked to past happenings which can be carried energetically.

This method of working with regression as a hypno-therapeutic tool  creates an ability to change patterns or survival strategies which no longer serve and/or hold a client back and/or creates unnecessary suffering in their present day lives. This technique  may require a progressive unfolding as it takes the time it takes to rebuild a solid base.

Past Life Regression: the soul may or may not decide to carry experiences through the veil of birth along into the current lifetime; these experiences may also develop and create blocks/learning opportunities which manifest in the form of patterns, coping strategies and habits which may serve us in some moments, only to become obsolete later. Going back to the root cause of these phenomena a person has the opportunity to see and experience clearly, in a detached manner, almost as if it is happening to someone else.

Again this new increased perspective allows one to adapt and grow through a present life challenge; letting go honestly of events that do not serve them by recognising them as new learnings, understandings and stepping stones to an expanded present consciousness.

It is a chance to reclaim one’s power, to increasingly move in to your present moment, the now.

As therapists we learn to help clients recognise themes in childhood memories and/or current life experiences which can be echoed in Past Lives or even through Active Imagination.

*Some may feel more comfortable with the idea of a Past Life Regression as Unconscious Metaphor brought forth by the Psyche in order to engender healing, whatever your system of belief, it is not a prerequisite to the experience of engendering healing and growth.

The course covers how to approach:  

• Connecting, empathizing and helping your client create an intention for the work they wish to explore.

• Inducing a state of trance, Metaphorical Active Imagination Exercises 

• Regressing to happy or neutral childhood events

• Regressing to the mother’s womb

• How to move a client in hypnosis along the timeline

• Entering the gateway of a past life 

• Regressing to a Past Life 

• Regressing to Dreams

• Connecting to Spiritual States

• Communicating and reviewing with spirit guides/wise ones 

• Emergence from the trance state

• Grounding and Protection

• Next Steps and  Integrating material

Post training there are optional zoom meetings with review  and debriefing of your sessions as well as guest speakers who share about their specialties in their practice.

There is also a focus on post training support for setting up your practice and developing and  integrating your skills and personal development that has begun throughout training. 

Six months post training we hold an optional supervised certification week where a combination of reviewing, exercises, induction writing and sessions with volunteers with supervision give more feedback culminating with teaching therapists how to create next steps plans with their clients.

Additional supervision weekends and review weeks upon request.

The power for transformations to occur lie within our clients.

We are introducing skills which will deepen your abilities as a Client-Based Therapist, methods of maximising the long-term outcomes from the hypnotic experience which is fundamental for your clients to make enduring change.

Each Module includes post training opportunities for supervised weekends, and follow up zoom reviewing, supervision dialogues and feedback.

Releasing Expectations via Fractionalization

Some clients bring an expectation that can even block their doing the work by bringing conscious mind into the session and trying to control what happens.  By creates a small series of Individualized stepping stone exercises with our clients,  we can help them feel  more comfortable going deeper and deeper into trance in a safer and more relaxed manner. 

Active Imagination

How deep do we need to go? What levels of Hypnosis? Is it truly important to be ‘hypnotised?” There are many levels of trance we can use as starting point. When we travel in our mind, our inner archetypes, complexes, life lessons and intentions reveal themselves more clearly. Every story whether metaphor or real has the elements of our soul plans and life challenges. And sometimes, we can go even deeper via stepping stones..

Sleep Challenges

How do we work individual with sleep challenges. Developing techniques to reach the root cause while also alleviating the symptoms to enable our clients to rest and dream and heal while they sleep.Working with insomnia patterns, nightmares, dream activation as an expressive release,  working with dream re-entry and healing while you sleep.

NVC- Nonviolent communication

Non Violent Communication is a beautiful technique pioneered by the late Marshall Rosenberg in both some of the most conflict-ridden areas of inter-personal relationships, as well as war torn territories. Learning to communicate non-violently helps us to work on our love energy by cutting through to the heart of the matter -communion, that is, true communication. 

Know smoking

Technique for teaching clients to become free of the habit of smoking 

Pain Management 

What is it? 

The term pain management is misleading because in truth, working with pain is not about managing it. Clients want to deal with it by overmedicating, numbing, distracting, ignoring, or escaping it. However, the real goal becomes getting them to perceive the pain differently and understand it from a place and a space of higher emotional awareness. This can help clients learn the lessons pain brings, improve their relationship with it, and experience greater relief and wellness. Physical pain has an emotional component, so the work involves helping clients heal that emotional pain and release the feelings that just seem to trigger, aggravate, and feed the pain and discomfort. 

How does it work? 

Vital aspects of the work include educating clients about how pain and the brain work together and learning to use hypnotic techniques and tools such as mindfulness and our very breath to change the brain’s perception of pain. Hypnosis puts our imagination to work in a powerful way and learning how to help a client use imagery to shape the pain experience can result in a significant reduction or elimination of the pain and discomfort. Equally important is teaching clients how our negative thoughts, limiting beliefs, maladaptive behaviors, and emotions such as anger and fear can intensify the pain. Clients can experience greater freedom from the pain by building a more empowered mindset and letting go what needs to be gone. 

How does it serve?

Working with clients in pain is about helping them to befriend the enemy and discover that it has a good intention. Pain is a messenger and a master teacher, a catalyst that can trigger good, healthy change in their life. When we guide and teach clients to open the channels of communication and connect, speak, and listen to the pain with the ear of their heart, they can discover the true source of the pain. This work has enormous potential and possibility because when we heal pain at its deepest source, we can heal our life. This inner exploration can generate powerful insights, core transformation and gift us the opportunity to become greater than the pain by connecting with that divine part of us that is greater than the physical and emotional pain and discomfort in our life. 

How to Prepare for Surgery

By preparing for surgery via hypnosis and awareness and  guided healing imagery, by bringing in a deeper connection to mind and body the  outcome in recovery can unfold with more consciousness and ease.

Supervision weekends are an opportunity to practice and review all you have learnt during our trainings. We also  work with the process of writing an inductio, teaching you the steps to become versatile in creating inductions and understanding your own style according to client's intentions.

 We also review direct and indirect suggestions as well as review the healing interventions you have learned throughout your training and make sure you understand how to apply them. Often there are small exercises and practices we devise accordingly to your needs as a student.

You will be practicing sessions on volunteers whilst under the supervision of the teaching staff, therefore you have an opportunity to get feedback, insights, and strategies for aspects of a hypnotherapy session.  

Supervision Certification week is a week of review, revision, supervised session with support and feedback as well as induction writing and developing your own exclsuive protocols and style. By the end of the week you can submit your required induction and will have also understood any areas you may want to pursue and develop as a specialty in your practice.

These opportunities provide the time and perspective to work with your case studies for certification, so the process becomes a learning experience rather than feeling a sense of judgment and criticism.
