Course Syllabus

The Hypnotherapy Diploma Course assumes no previous knowledge of hypnotherapy but an interest in psychology is helpful. The Course examines some of the concepts of Freud and Jung as a basis to understanding the personality and its relationship to analytical procedures.

The Course draws upon the works of respected authorities such as Milton Erickson, David Cheek and Ernest Rossi and an understanding of communicating with the subconscious mind through the use of ideomotor signaling is developed to deal with a wide range of psychosomatic problems. An introduction to NLP, language patterns and eye movements is also given consideration.

You will develop an understanding of anxiety states and how resolving unconscious conflicts can help clients to move forward. Pain relief can be achieved through the correct application of hypnosis, as can freedom from addictive behaviour such as smoking, overeating, gambling, etc.

Throughout the Course you will demonstrate an understanding of the modules through papers containing case histories and questions relating to the Course. Whilst it is accepted that there are sometimes no right or wrong answers, you will be encouraged to analyze and prepare a treatment plan for the case histories.

Keeping in contact with other Hypnotherapists via emails and telephone conversations is useful for when you begin your own hypnotherapy practice as it helps to exchange ideas, news, and keep up to date with developments in the field of hypnotherapy. Continued professional development is considered an important aspect of this profession and we aim to provide this with our informative workshops and seminars.

The student learns when and how to use suggestion therapy and is taken through a course of analytical therapy in order to see the different stages reached as therapy progresses. Transference and resistance is examined and ways of dealing with these problems, should they arise, will be discussed.

Age regression and the issues surrounding false memory syndrome are given consideration and we take a fascinating look at the belief of past life regression and its relationship to therapy.

Hypnotherapists employ different techniques when hypnotizing children and a special section is devoted to this, with treatment procedures for stammering, enuresis (bed wetting), thumb sucking and other problems explained in detail.

The Course also provides you with all the necessary resources to begin practicing hypnotherapy - including consent forms, press releases, evaluation forms, scripts, glossary of hypnotic terms plus a wealth of advice about starting up and continuing in business—and much more.
 

The training will enable you to treat a range of issues, including:
