About the training:

Would you like to learn how to integrate clinical hypnosis within your specialism?

Do you or your colleagues suffer from burnout or stress? If so, then this is the course for you!

Learn how clinical hypnosis and the use of imagery can transform your anxious patients!

Learn how to avoid giving negative suggestion and capture your patient’s imagination to help themselves.

Module 1 of our short Foundation training gives you the basic skills you need to integrate hypnotic techniques into your clinical work to help both you and your patients with anxiety and stress. Learn about the neuroscience behind the hypnotic response and how words can influence the outcome of any interaction you have with your patients.

Modules 2 and 3 expand on this knowledge and demonstrates ways of working with patients with a variety of problems such as pain, psychosomatic problems, phobias and past traumatic memories.

There are also various optional specialist modules that will enable you to expand your knowledge of using clinical hypnotic techniques with children, in obstetrics, PTSD, depression, grief, oncology and terminal care.

In the current climate much of the training will be online but each Branch will arrange how they deliver this and decide when face to face practical sessions can be re-instituted safely.

....................................

This 3 weekend training has been well received by a mix of healthcare professionals from a variety of different specialisms. Dentists, doctors, paramedics and clinical psychologists have attended in previous years at York, Hull, and Edinburgh. This course will show you how to integrate various hypnotic and communicative techniques into your everyday working world.

Please feel free to express interest NOW , and we will contact you regarding any changes we feel necessary over the next few months.

Full price for the course is £550 with an Early Bird price of £500 Available up to mid December ( Subject to change as we have not yet opened booking or payments pending firming up detail) Places will be limited so expression of interest would be wise.

We hope to run the course as usual for 2021 but possibly augmented by our rapidly gained experience with video conference meetings which could reduce the face to face contact.

At the moment we are outlining our usual core structure which is three weekends in Edinburgh. However, it seems certain that a good deal of it will be done virtually via zoom or similar techniques.

This course is being kept under constant review and we are sure you will understand that the 2021 course may look considerably diffierent acording to how events unfold . We will update this entry and keep those who have expressed interest informed of significant changes
