This comprehensive Basic Hypnosis Program lays the essential groundwork for your professional journey. The curriculum begins by establishing a clear Definition and functions of hypnosis, effectively breaking the myths and misconceptions often associated with the practice. You will gain a deep understanding of the characteristics of the subconscious vs. conscious mind and learn to identify various levels of trance. The program thoroughly covers the technical core of the practice, including basic styles of induction, multiple methods of trance induction, effective deepening techniques, and the proper delivery and return from trance.
 
We provide intensive focus on signs of trance and minimal cues, the anatomy of a hypnotherapy session, and the critical skills of creating effective suggestions and hypnotic language, including anchoring post-hypnotic suggestions. You will also explore suggestibility testing and the distinction between suggestibility vs. gullibility. Importantly, all training includes vital instruction on the benefits of hypnosis and essential legal and ethical considerations for your future practice. This Basic Hypnosis Program serves as the foundational segment specifically Class 101: Introduction to Hypnotherapy and Class 102: Counseling Skills - of our complete Hypnotherapist Certification Program.
