š Counseling Hypnotherapist: Healing Through Trance and Compassion
The Counseling Hypnotherapist program is a transformative journey into the art of healing through trance, therapeutic conversation, and compassionate presence. Designed for working adults and full-time students, this training integrates hypnotherapy, counseling, and somatic wellness into a single, accessible skillset.
Whether you are beginning your path as a healer or deepening your existing practice, this program offers tools to support othersāand yourselfāwith clarity, care, and confidence.
š± What Is Counseling Hypnotherapy?
Counseling Hypnotherapy blends the principles of therapeutic trance with the relational depth of counseling. It is rooted in the understanding that trance is a natural human state, and that hypnosis is a set of skills used to guide and support others through that state for healing, insight, and relief.
This practice is not about controlāitās about collaboration. It honors the clientās inner wisdom and uses techniques that are gentle, effective, and affirming.
š Program Features
š§ Training That Honors Mind, Body, and Spirit
Our curriculum draws from decades of research and practice in:
- Rapid Induction Techniques for pain relief and emotional regulation
- Generative Trance for creativity, insight, and transformation
- Somatic Release to support trauma mitigation and nervous system regulation
- Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP) for rapport-building and communication
- Carl Rogersā Core Conditions: empathy, congruence, and unconditional positive regard
Participants learn to listen deeply, respond intuitively, and guide sessions that foster safety, clarity, and growth.
āØ Impromptu Hypnosis and Everyday Trance
In addition to structured techniques, this program teaches how to recognize and work with spontaneous trance statesāthose moments of natural focus, absorption, or emotional openness that occur in everyday life. Youāll learn how to:
- Invite trance conversationally, without scripts or formal induction
- Use gesture, rhythm, and suggestion to deepen awareness
- Respond to subtle cues and shifts in attention
- Create therapeutic impact in casual or unexpected settings
This approach helps practitioners stay flexible, responsive, and attuned to the momentāwhether in a session, a conversation, or a community setting.
š Certification Pathway
Participants who complete the full training sequence are eligible for certification through the International Association of Counselors and Therapists (IACT).
