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:
