Highest Level of Transformation
You will be training to the highest level and will be studying, sharing, and practising hypnosis on yourself and your clients/patients from the outset.
Correctly used, hypnosis is a wonderful tool for transformation. Our courses go deep. From your first course, you are immersed. Your commitment is rewarded with rapid progress. Through direct observation, video, and practice, you learn how to produce powerful hypnotic states in yourself and others.
Learning to induce the receptive trance state known as hypnosis in yourself and/or your clients/patients enables you to facilitate or programme desirable behaviours with the power of suggestion. The comprehensive foundation in the theory and practice of hypnosis that you receive from the Academy for Hypnosis gives you the authority to speak with conviction and reliably prepare, induce, and confirm hypnosis in your patients.
Accessing the active subconscious mind, you explore and diminish the impact of negative thoughts and behaviours for your clients/patients and create new programmes for positive change.
