Hypnosis Training, Certification Course

 

Whether you are currently a mental health care professional, a minister, massage therapist, chiropractor, medical doctor, or want to open your own hypnosis practice, a certification in Hypnosis may be exactly what you are looking for. It can be a valuable tool in your toolbox of services, or your new profession.

 

About Our Classes

 

Our Certification Course in Hypnosis is broken into 3 levels. Each level consists of four 10 hour days of training. Classes are taken either over 2 weekends or 4 days in a row. In between the levels of training you are expected to practice what you have learned thus further preparing you for the more in depth classes. It is broken up into these levels to ensure that by the time of completion you have complete confidence as a Hypnotist. After level 2, you will receive certification as a Hypnotist through our Center and through the National Guild of Hypnotists. Certification includes membership for one year.

 

This is a well structured course in hypnosis. The class is VERY hands on. You will have to hypnotize someone and will be hypnotized every time our class meets. You cannot truly learn and understand hypnosis unless you DO it.

 

All concepts and perceptions of hypnosis are taught. That includes all material from a medical perspective and also from a very spiritual perspective. We go into extensive depth about how to work within your clients belief system, AND what can be done with your clients depending on their beliefs. We discuss all the training perspectives and techniques that current “authority” teachers in the Hypnosis field are teaching and why or why not to use each technique. We also teach you the best techniques that have worked for us based on applying many of the techniques used by other people keeping only the best. Many other techniques taught are only available at our center.

 

Also, when most students come to class they have something they really want to get a closer look at in Hypnosis. This can be anything from working with children, doing anesthesia/pain relief work, to in depth spiritual regressions. Typically EVERY student that has had a specific topic they’ve wanted to cover a little more in depth has been satisfied after these classes. Not only are specific scripts and explanations given, but also detailed experiences of past clients from our instructors. If you have certain things you want to make sure is covered then please email us or request a consultation with the instructor. We will gladly talk to you about it.

 

Here are some testimonials of past students…

 

“Anyone who is interested in taking the Hypnosis Certification should take the course with Benjamin DeFoor.

Thanks!” – Marsha Mathis
