prerequisite: Transpersonal Hypnotherapy, or Transpersonal Hypnotherapy Protocols, or transfer student
Approximately one in every four people (one in every two in therapy) has been sexually abused. It is important to know how to work with this population and when to refer them out. Learn the profile and characteristics of the survivors so you can work with them. Gain a thorough understanding of the stages of recovery.
Learn therapeutic approaches and techniques for each stage of recovery. These are different from the ones you learned in “Transpersonal Hypnotherapy.” Learn how to create safety, keep very clear boundaries, utilize focus-solution therapies and neutrally assist in memory recovery. Learn specific applications for NLP, Ericksonian Hypnosis and Transpersonal Hypnotherapy methods. This course is essential for anyone who has a private practice.
