Syllabus

COURSE OVERVIEW: Welcome to Guided Imagery, a Doctorate Level course in the curriculum for the degree in Clinical Hypnotherapy. The primary focus of this course is to use the classical power of imagery in healing. A Learning Portfolio begins the extensive insights to understanding images within the mind. Images within the mind manifest as physical connections to the body. Self-Healing with images emerges the power of the mind/body connection. Regulating images and colors allows for the ancient understanding of gesture from the client and many common complaints. The ancient therapy of modern reflexology unlocks the client’s complaints to areas of the body that seem to become ‘blocked’ in hypnosis sessions. The explanation of issues, colors and images are the two main objectives in this course. It covers virtually every area of human body in relation to the mind and images from an ancient resource in a fresh approach to hypnosis and healing. Numerous learning styles with the same level of knowledge are developed and gained in enhancing the learning experience.
