Successful Hypnotherapy Diploma Course

Included in this page are actual extracts from the Successful Hypnotherapy Diploma Course...

Most hypnotherapy organisations represent varying ideas and beliefs about hypnosis and hypnotherapy, because their Members train with many different training schools and organisations. The IAPH is unique (as far as we can tell) because all IAPH Members have undergone the same initial training course. The written modules of this training course are described below.

For more information on our unique training course, please click on the 'unique hypnotherapy training' button at the top of this page.

Module 1

The Practitioner

  • The Therapist and The U.K. Law

  • The pros and cons of home practice or consulting rooms

  • The Therapist's Duty of Care to his clients

  • Insurance, Rating and Planning Laws

  • How and where to Advertise, advertising controls/standards

  • The History of Hypnosis from Mesmer to the present day

  • The Therapist's potential motives for seeking to be a Therapist are conjectured and explored

Accompanying CD's:
Welcome onto the Course and Introductory Talk by Course Principal.
'Relaxalongatherapist!' A journey into the fantasy world of Hypnotic relaxation. Boosted by subliminal sound messages the cd will SAFELY produce Hypnosis in all but those drunk, or high on drugs. The cd is unparalleled for instructional purposes and the feeling of well-being afterwards just has to be experienced

Module 2

Character types and their symptoms

  • Describes in depth three main "Character Types" (into one of which all human beings can be classified) and explains which type of character is prone to what symptoms - and what those symptoms are. e.g. What sort of person is pre-disposed to smoking, over eating and nail-biting? Why do some people brood and worry over things, so much so that they create illness? How come some people remain calm at the scene of an accident, while others become 'hysterical' ?
  • Compulsions, obsessions, hypochondria, anxiety, phobias and other symptoms are discussed and explained. How are they formed? Where do they come from? What purpose do they serve? (includes a list of over 300 phobias)
  • The doctrine of CAUSE AND EFFECT and the creation of psycho-somatic symptoms is introduced. Why does the subconscious mind create symptoms? How does 'it' do it? How can we get rid of these symptoms?
  • Anxiety generally, and the anxiety state in particular, is expounded. What is a 'panic attack'? Why does it feel so bad? How does 'it' know when to happen?

Accompanying CD's:
3. Explanation of Hypnosis.
4. Continuing explanation of Hypnotic induction.


Extract from Module 2

..." A person's mind will Repress (with convenient amnesia) something very unpalatable to that person. Where the process is, for want of a better description, half hearted, we will call it, a disavowal. To illustrate this we need only describe the child who has been punished and sent to bed for naughtiness. Let us imagine the parent worrying for an hour or so over the severity of their punishment, finally relenting and going to the child's room to sympathise... Click here to read more



Module 3

Character Formation

  • Early development and the making of our characters and predispositions is explained in detail. The most important years of our lives - from age 1 day to ten years. How we emotionally, psychologically and physically develop into adults is explained. Why do some children take longer to develop than others?
    What happens when children feel very emotional and can't deal with the feelings?

Accompanying CD's:
5. And 6. Explanations of inducing and deepening the state of hypnosis. Different hypnotic inductions are discussed.


Extract from Module 3

..."Our love at first is narcissistic and, at that very, very early stage of our lives, being aware only of ourselves, we have only ourselves to blame if things go wrong. We soon become aware of the existence of another important being in our lives, our Mother. We give her our love unquestioningly because she brings those three vital and important requirements we will treasure all our lives... Click here to read more



Module 4

Anxiety and sexuality

  • A link between sexuality and many anxieties states is explained.
  • The case for Analytical Therapy (remove the cause of the problem) as opposed to the use of pure Post-Hypnotic Suggestion (control of symptom) is expounded.
  • The Oedipus Complex (a childs emotional attachment to a parent or caregiver) is explained in an understandable and matter of fact way
  • Our sexual formation and predisposition's are discussed in a frank and natural manner.

Accompanying CD's:
7 and 8 - Slimming Therapy/Anti-Smoking Therapy.
7A and 8A - Pre-test nerves/nail biting cessation.


Extract from Module 4

Deciding Analysis or Suggestion?

..."Earlier we said that Suggestion Therapy acted upon the symptoms and that Analytical Therapy acted upon the causes, and I would stand by that. However, to be completely fair to Suggestion Therapy, one has to concede that, when it is applied during a Hypnosis session, the suggestions are inevitably having an effect upon the cause as well, in as much as the suggestions for 'calmness' and 'relaxation' react, at a subconscious level, on the subconscious anxiety... Click here to read more



Module 5

The effects of Suggestion

  • Not just Hypnotic or Post-Hypnotic Suggestion, but our overall responsiveness to suggestion is elaborated.

  • Coue's Law of Reversed Effort and Bernheim's Rules Governing Suggestion are clarified, and Chevreul's Pendulum explained.

Accompanying CD:
9. Talk recapping the lecture notes to date. 10. A complex 'anti-smoking', 'slimming', 'anti-nail-biting' and general 'self-improvement' tape all rolled into one, demonstrating how aversion can be produced by post-hypnotic suggestion - also utilises the power of subliminal perception material.


Extract from Module 5

The Law of Reversed Effort

..."The realisation that this is a fact, that the subconscious will faithfully discharge good ideas as well as bad ideas, led Emile Coue of the New Nancy School, in practice 1905 to 1921, to assert the proposition that where there is conflict between the imagination and the conscious will, then the imagination will always win the day. 'In the conflict between the will and the imagination the force of the imagination is in direct ratio to the square of the will'. This proposition leads quite simply to what is termed; 'the law of reversed effort'... Click here to read more



Module 6

Meeting the client

  • Word for word account of what to ask, what to say and how to greet and reassure a client.
  • What the client wants and expects - what the Therapist aims to do. The likely outcomes of Therapy.
  • NLP Techniques discussed.

Accompanying CD's:
11. Relaxing piano music which has post-hypnotic suggestions for calmness and confidence "concealed behind" the music in the form of subliminal perception material (the Therapist's voice taken up the frequency range working in a similar way to a dog whistle; your subconscious hears the message - your intellect doesn't).
12. Talk including Demonstration Hypnotic Induction


Extract from Module 6

Meeting the client

....""Mr. Client, I want for a moment to make a comparison. It's a bit silly but bear with me. We've agreed that what you have really said to me is: 'I have something going on inside myself but outside my own control can you help me remove it please'. Compare that for a moment with going to the Dentist and saying 'I have a bad tooth, will you pull it out please'. The Dentist says: 'Yes, of course he will open wide....' But every instinct in you then pulls away; you think perhaps it's not that bad after all, and you want to resist the forceps. Well Mr. Client, strange as it may sound, exactly the same is going to happen here. You are going to resist releasing that thing inside yourself every step of the way...

Module 7

The Analysis

  • Step by step, session by session, using a real case as illustration - what to do, how to do it, what to expect, when to expect it.

  • Special mention is made of Migraines and also of children and their responsiveness.

  • Clearly shows that Analysis need not be a protracted affair but can be accomplished in just six sessions of Therapy and the results can be astonishing.

Extract from Module 7

A case history

..."The case I have used as an illustration was extremely straightforward, quick to conclude and devoid of any side tracking complications, and the client's natural recalcitrance was easy to overcome. I hope by this stage you will not join the chorus
of unenlightened and say: 'But surely he could have remembered that on his own'... 'He couldn't possibly have forgotten that' . . . 'I had something worse than that happen to me but I didn't forget' . . . 'Surely that couldn't have made him stutter'..

Module 8

Transference and Resistence

  • The amazing phenomena of "Transference" is discussed in depth.

  • More mention is made of symptoms which can now be further categorised as "Direct" or "Indirect".

  • The Client's own unconscious "resistance" to the Therapy is explained.

  • Narcissism is described; homosexuality is discussed; fetishes are explained.

  • The relationship between Client and Therapist is expounded.

Extract from Module 8

..."Now I am going to try and explain the phenomena of Transference, because until you fully understand it you will never wholly realise why the client could not get to his own repressions without you to help him. Even as I begin, I have already floundered by inferring you will ever come to fully understand transference. I would claim to know more than a fair amount about the phenomena and yet I know I do not fully understand it... Click here to read more



Module 9

An introduction to Hypnosis

  • Includes "Waking Hypnosis" and the differing states within Hypnosis.

  • Also symbolism, parapsychology and meta-psychology (including "past life" regression), auto-writing techniques and the ideo-motor response.

Accompanying CD's:
13, 14, 15 & 16 - Now the student has a basic Theory at his fingertips, more detailed instructions are given. "How to" language is used.


Extract from Module 9

..."I am now going to explain something about the Hypnotic phenomena. Elsewhere we have agreed that an idea which takes root in the subconscious must be discharged in motor action of the individual but since the motivation then comes from the subconscious, it naturally follows that the person is not intellectually aware of the subconscious motivation taking place. That sounds awfully complicated, perhaps it is just the way I have expressed it. I will try again: A person acting as a result of a subconscious idea does not know why they are doing what they are doing....Click here to read more



Module 10

Hypnosis Explained

  • Now the student realises that ALL the other Lessons had been about Hypnosis too!!

  • Methods of Induction are explained and thirty three observable (or detectable) signs of the person's entry into the state of Hypnosis are detailed.

Accompanying CD's:
I5A and 16A - Elaboration, examples. The spoken word brings more and more meaning to the written Course Notes.


Extract from Module 10

..."Hypnosis begins from the moment a person closes their eyes, at the request or suggestion, of the Hypnotist. What the Hypnotist actually says to the person, the way in which he says it, his voice control, his manner of course they are all relevant, they are all contributing to the power of suggestion.... Click here to read more



Module 11

Technical Difficulties and Dreams

  • Dream interpretation with examples.

  • The "wish fulfillment" theory of Dreams is touched upon.

  • The intervention of relatives into Therapy and other problems likely to arise are explained.

Accompanying CD's:
X-A, XB, XC, & X-D - Demonstration of "public relations" via Radio Programmes accompanied by lecture.


Extract from Module 11

..."I promised to touch on some of the more technical difficulties of analysis, as opposed to the more general difficulties, which I have outlined previously.
To introduce the subject I want to first of all mention dreams and their interpretation. By now, with the insight you should have acquired, dreams should have less of their mysteries concealed... Click here to read more



Module 12

Two Case Histories

  • Two cases which epitomise the preceding writing are written up as Case Reports. From start to finish - two real cases that you can follow through and see how hypno-analysis removed the cause of their anxiety

Accompanying CD's:
17 and Tape 18. The nearly qualified student gets a final lecture before tackling the Examination


Extract from Module 12

Everybody who embarks into analytical therapy would love to find a repression of the mind where they had been subjected to some terrible torment by another....or just generally made to suffer in life, so as to explain their present malaise. This never happens. When the repression is released, the person will find there is one offender.......THEMSELVES...it's not about the experience, it's about how they FELT... Click here to read more



Examinations

  • Test Exercises accompany LESSONS THREE, SIX and NINE, and the FINAL EXAMINATION accompanies LESSON TWELVE. There are no deadlines for the return of these. (The Student not wishing to enter into Practice need not participate unless wishing to do so).

  • As the Course is constantly being improved and expanded, there are, in consequence, some deviations from, and additions to, the details given.
