Level 2 Information
The second step in certification training is to strengthen skills, strategies, and applications of clinical hypnosis. Part one taught “how to” do clinical hypnosis, and part two builds on this skill set and refines and furthers development to add the when, why, and where to the “how-to”.
Advantages
- Introduction to a wider range of topics on the utility of clinical hypnosis
(e.g., Pain Management; Anxiety and Sleep Disorders; Habit Disorders). - Learn more techniques for the creative use of the language of suggestion to facilitate change.
- Learn specific tools (complex inductions and intensification techniques) for specific populations (children).
- More practice with the feedback of expert faculty.
The Level 2 workshop increases skills and builds confidence in the use of hypnosis. It prepares the workshop participant to move on to the Advanced Workshop level and Individual Consultation with a strong basis of skills and understanding of the principles and practice of clinical hypnosis.
