Intensive Certification Seminar
November 12-14, 2008
Earn 18 Contact Hours!
Prerequisite:  Graduate Degree in Mental Health Field or Current Graduate Student in Mental Health Field
Attendees do not have to attend the Rational Living Therapy -- Level One Seminar to attend
the Rational Hypnotherapy seminar.  There are no training prerequisites.
Question: Why utilize hypnotherapy in the practice of psychotherapy? 
Answer:  Hypnotherapy
is another
technique
to
help people change
the
way they
think.  The difference
between
it and conventional psychotherapy, though,
is that with
hypnotherapy, believability
is
irrelevant
in
terms of treatment outcome. When
in
a
good
state
of
hypnosis,
the
client
is
not
required
to
believe
a
word
you
say
for
the
suggestions
to
become integrated
into
his
/
her
manner of thinking!  Secondly, some
thoughts are acquired
through accidental
hypnosis.  
Can
you
learn
hypnotherapy
in
three
days?
Certainly!
Rational
Hypnotherapy
is
a
very
straight-forward approach, and attendees become competent and effective in only three days.  Of
course, it takes practice to develop a smooth delivery.
Day One
What is Hypnosis? Learn what
hypnosis is and why common
definitions are problematic.

instructor will demonstrate a
complete hypnotherapy session
from induction, to deepening, to
therapy, to termination.
Why and How Hypnosis Works.

hypnosis that encourages change in
cognition, emotion, and behavior.
Induction / Deepening
Techniques. Learn how to induce
and deepen the hypnotic state, thus
preparing the client for therapeutic
suggestions. Attendees will engage
in practice sessions and the
instructor will provide feedback.
Day Two
Testing for Depth. How do you
know when the patient is ready for 
therapeutic suggestions? This 
seminar will show you how to test 
for depth.
Therapy. Learn how to develop
and deliver hypnotherapeutic 
suggestions for a wide variety of 
problems, including anxiety, 
panic, phobias, depression, anger, 
smoking, obesity, substance

Day Three
