Jonathan D. Fast – 2-Day Intensive Hypnosis Certificate Workshop: Apply Clinical Hypnosis to Improve Treatment Outcomes

2-Day Intensive Hypnosis Certificate Workshop: Apply Clinical Hypnosis to Improve Treatment Outcomes – Jonathan D. Fast

Watch this Intensive Certificate Workshop and transform your practice to heal anxiety, stress, trauma, sleep, addiction, and pain.

Leave this high-impact certificate workshop and immediately apply the following hypnosis skills in your practice:

• Go into self-hypnosis
• Work with a partner to do a pre-trance interview to discover abilities and help for individualizing in trance
• Induce trance
• Use direct and indirect suggestion
• Deepen trance with hypnotic phenomena
• Elicit relaxation and calm
• Activate positive unconscious processes
• Successfully end trance

The unconscious is a reservoir of potential, and hypnosis is the way to access that potential. By working indirectly and unconsciously in hypnosis, you bypass your client’s conscious limitations and enlist resources to help resolve entrenched problems. You can also utilize powerful self-hypnosis techniques for self-transformation and self-care.

If you are new to hypnosis, you will gain the skills you need to start using hypnosis in your practice. And if you are an experienced hypnotherapist, you will add innovative methods to enhance your work.

With the latest research, case examples, guided trance experiences, opportunities to work with trance induction, helpful handouts, and protocols – this workshop will inform, uplift, and transform!

6. Construct clinical interventions by exploiting 12 classic hypnotic phenomena.
7. Recognize and exploit an abreaction to discover unresolved issues in a client’s past.
8. Use age regression to uncover unresolved issues from a client’s past.

11. Maximize the efficacy of traditional cognitive behavioral therapy by regulating suggestability, visual imagery, and emotional association and dissociation during trance.
