Many leading clinics worldwide are using hypnosis to help people with trauma and co-morbid conditions, such as anxiety, chronic pain, and those generally feeling stuck in deep-rooted dysfunctional patterns.

But for many therapists, hypnosis is shrouded in mystery, can seem difficult to learn, and finding good training can be tough.

That’s why we’re offering this training with expert Courtney Armstrong who will dispel hypnosis myths and show you simple ways to integrate hypnotic induction into your current treatments.

You’ll learn:

  • When and how to introduce hypnosis to your clients
  • A step-by-step foundational guide for integrating hypnosis into sessions
  • What hypnosis can and can’t help with
  • How to use it to safely help clients re-process traumatic memories

After this training, you’ll have the potential to improve your treatment outcomes by 60-70% and help clients transform toxic attachment schemas, destructive habits, and painful emotional memories-- leaving them with deeply felt corrective experiences.

And don’t worry--in this training, only evidence-based hypnosis strategies will be covered, so you can be sure you are offering clients the most proven interventions.
