This exciting advanced course for HTI grads is even more experiential than our Level 3 and 4, with fewer lectures and plenty of demonstrations with follow-up discussions, and practice sessions. Besides the transformational live hypnotherapy demonstrations that Randal and Marleen are known throughout the world for, we also have a section with Lyn Hilliard teaching hypnotherapy skills for working with grief.

Demonstration and/or practice themes include EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), major life transitions, safety, and further explorations of regression and hypno-healing. We will provide a rare film of Gestalt founder Fritz Perls demonstrating powerful brief therapy methods, along with practicing a new Gestalt process. There will be a time to brainstorm about your clients, and a marketing strategies discussion.

We are also pleased to have for the second time, counselor/hypnotherapist Terry Stout teaching the Inca Medicine Wheel and its philosophy and relevance to hypnotherapy.

Also, as always, CEUs apply for hypnotherapists, nurses, marriage and family therapists, social workers, and others.

This course leads to further mastery of the field and Clinical level Certification. It continues an emphasis on our signature comprehensive integrations of uncovering and transformational methods. Sections include spiritual awakening, parts therapy and bioenergetics. Some demonstrations delve deeper into dreamwork, regression, psychosynthesis and advanced ideomotor methods.
