How to Learn Hypnosis – Your Way

There are weekend workshops dedicated to helping you to become a hypnotherapist and there are even longer trainings that can offer a reasonably solid training that can set you on the right path. However, at IIH, we have always worked hard to be a leader in the field of hypnosis training by offering true state-licensed diplomas, over 500 hours of training, and advanced educational systems that allow you to learn hypnosis in a way that works for you.

IIH Flexible Options

We began training people to become hypnotherapists in 2007 and have continued to refine everything about how we deliver this life-transforming education. We went from being a 100% in-house learning facility to offering 70% of our training online, and a full 30% of your training hours are now dedicated to hands-on practical hours under direct supervision. Classroom learning is wonderful, yet you can easily miss what was said and can never press pause if you need a break. With our advanced Online Interactive Tutorials, you can train from home, at your own pace, and at hours that work for you. Then, every six weeks, you attend your hands-on practical hours at the Clinical Externship Location nearest you. In this way, you can start when you are ready, and adapt the training to your life and your schedule.

The Benefits of Distance Learning

By welcoming in modern technology, we can train you to become a hypnotherapist in the same way that virtually every college and university has opted to go as well. Increasingly, teachers and students have become aware of the benefits of having online classes with a “brick-and-mortar” location as well.  With online learning, you can:

1. Go back and review classes anytime you want to (even after graduation)
2. Stop when you are tired or need a break
3. Press pause, take notes, organize materials, and continue learning when ready
4. Enjoy your own home (or even your own bed) while making learning comfortable and convenient
5. Write down your questions to be sure they are answered by a qualified instructor

Is Distance Learning Enough to Learn Hypnosis?

We would answer, “Not entirely.” Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy must be learned through qualified instructors and supervisors who can help you to master the hands-on components of the curriculum. At IIH, we have broken our training down into three components:

1. Online Interactive Tutorials
2. Live Online Classes with a Certified Instructor (always recorded for later viewing)
3. Hands-on Practical Hours at approved Clinical Externship Locations

Learning the inductions and powerful transformational modalities of hypnosis online is virtually impossible, but a great portion of theory certainly can be learned from the comfort of your own home and at times that don’t place unnecessary strain on your current activity schedule. To learn the practical components of hypnotherapy with IIH, you can expect:

1. To review the techniques online multiple times
2. See them demonstrated in class
3. To practice yourself on a classmate
4. To have a classmate practice on you
5. To watch multiple other classmates practice
6. And then to practice core competencies again and again throughout the duration of your training.

This is only a glimpse of how we have structured IIH hypnosis training.  With state-licensed diplomas and over 500 hours of training, we feel confident that we’ve put together one of the most powerful hypnosis education systems in the world.  To learn more, call us at 800-551-9247 or visit us online at www.InstituteofHypnotherapy.com.
