Syllabus

COURSE OVERVIEW: Welcome to BCH 120. This is a bachelor's level course focusing on the basics of self-hypnosis and Clinical Hypnotherapy in the Bachelor of Science curriculum. I am pleased to offer you a course that is the first course in the Bachelor of Science in Clinical Hypnotherapy program. This course has been specially developed to enhance your knowledge in regards to using hypnotic techniques to help you improve your health and well being by using self-hypnosis sometimes called auto-hypnosis. This course has been developed to provide you with a basic introduction and working knowledge of many of the issues, which can be overcome through the use of Clinical Hypnotherapy and especially self-hypnosis. This course has been developed to provide you a structured learning environment within the framework of a distance learning program.

All the course work including the course midterm and final examination will be found in your detailed course study guide. You can locate your detailed course study guide in the online classroom once you are a registered student.

It is my belief that a practitioner should be capable of practicing self-hypnosis, be listening to good self-hypnosis audio's and CDs, and reading good books on the topic of self-hypnosis. You must work on the areas of your life which you feel you need to improve or work on by using self-hypnosis. Using your own testimonials is and will be one of your greatest marketing tools. You'll be able to say, "If I could do it, certainly you can do it also." You can then use your own testimonial to market your practice and to live a great life and feel even better. You will be you own walking website and billboard.

Your course formally starts when you register for the class through Breyer State University Administration, and I offer a bit of leeway as to your course start date. I say your course starts once you register and receive your textbooks. Your course starts the day you receive your textbooks in the mail so it is crucial you email me and let me know you received your books and audio's. Please email your instructor the day you receive your text, audio-recording, and your study guide from the Breyer State website and your course will formally start upon that date.
