Introduction: A discussion of Hypnotherapy in the context of self-development, service, raising the social-consciousness, and changing the world - one mind at a time.
History of Hypnosis: The discovery, refinement, and evolution of hypnosis, hypnotherapy, suggestion, trance, and more. An analysis of the hard-fought battles and incredible discoveries that have influenced Hypnotherapy over hundreds of years. A discussion of notable figures in the field such as Mesmer, Braid, Esdaile, Freud, Estabrooks, Erickson, and more.
Hierarchy of Hypnosis: Understanding the different styles and standards of hypnosis and Hypnotherapy - where this training lands in the spectrum and how it sets you up for success (and progression).
Subconscious & Unconscious Mind: What is the Unconscious? Why is it important? How is it ultimately responsible for all of our successes (and perceived failures) in life?
Prime Directive of The Unconscious Mind: What is it that the Unconscious Mind is most concerned with? How does this affect our ability to make rapid and lasting change in self and others?
Conscious vs. Unconscious: How much of our behaviour, thoughts, and emotions are within our conscious control? What is the "division of labour" between the Conscious and Unconscious Mind?
Hypnotic Language: What is the vital understanding we must have in order to effectively craft communication that is readily accepted by the Unconscious? What linguistic pitfalls must we avoid at all costs?
Brain Wave Frequencies: What are they? Why are they important? Where do we want self and others to be during hypnosis? And how to do we guide self and other to the "ideal frequency"?
Stimulating the Parasympathetic Nervous System: How can we rapidly and reliably guide self and others into a state of heightened awareness, free of negative thought and emotion, where learning, comprehension, and retention are markedly enhanced?
Responsibility for Change: The importance of a client's understanding of the hypnotic process and their role in their own change and development. How to maximize effectiveness of hypnotic processes in self and others.
