Welcome to Effective Counseling with Hypnotherapy, a Bachelors Level course in the curriculum for the degree in Clinical Hypnotherapy. The primary focus of this course is to understand the effectiveness in relaxation responses to various sources of hypnotic techniques. Inductions, deepening techniques, direct suggestions form A-Z, going beyond the relaxation response and into self-change is the power behind all hypnosis. A Learning Portfolio accompanies this course and will target specific questions in the areas related to self hypnosis and encountering situations with clients when there is a major block to heal through relaxation. Responding to relaxation allows the mind to manifest physical connections to the body and facilitating change without having to understand the use of relaxation. Hypnotic methods allow you to recognize and help the client in the manner suited for the particular script to unlock blockages or go beyond a plateau the client has reached. This course compliments modern learning styles with the same level of knowledge enhancing the learning experience.
