Hypnotherapy and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) Training

The altered state of hypnosis has been known to help us to influence the subconscious mind to create positive changes in our lives, yet there are also many related modalities that can allow for change to occur without a formal trance induction. While the founders of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) understood a great deal about hypnosis, they also pioneered ways to make shifts within the mind without having to use the classical hypnosis model. This brief article will explore the nature of NLP in hypnosis training and how it can benefit Hypnotherapists and others in the care-giving professions.
What can you do with a Hypnotherapy Certificate?

Hypnotherapy is a profession and It is important to understand what it takes to truly learn hypnosis and to then become successful as a well-trained hypnotherapist with legitimate credentials.
Science, Spirituality and Hypnotherapy Training

The conflict between science and religion has existed since Darwin first proposed a significant understanding of how our physical world evolved into being. Since then, many people have turned away from traditional religion, yet have felt a strong need for spirituality in their lives. During a time when the world may be becoming more and more secular, there is a need for the human heart to still feel a sense of that which is sacred and meaningful. Hypnotherapy and Transpersonal Hypnotherapy Training open doors to a synthesis of scientific method, spirituality and a life of purpose and fulfilment.
What Our Students Are Saying

I went through the first 300 hours of hypnotherapy training and now I’m in clinical and soon to be in transpersonal. There’s people of all ages who start this so don’t feel like you’re too young or too old. Many people from different backgrounds join the program from doulas/midwives to physicians to psychotherapist to regular people like me. A group of us practice hypnotherapy on our off time out of class to get really good at the techniques. The instructors are very good and went through the same program. I’m lucky to have Matthew Brownstein as one of my two instructors. People come in from out of state to get this training because it’s so in depth.
An Intuitive Path to Learn Hypnosis

There is a rational side of our mind that insists that things are linear, logical, rational and orderly. It has served us well and we can be grateful for being conscious, thinking beings that are capable of living rational lives, yet in hypnotherapy training, we spend a lot of time with what we call the ‘subconscious mind.’ This part of our being tends to be quite different from the analytical, reasoning conscious mind that many of us rely upon on a daily basis. When we learn hypnosis, we learn about a mind that is not linear, not rational, not always logical, and not always “programmed” for our greatest good. However, this part of our mind holds enormous potential for so much good, if we only dare to tap into its innate powers and abilities.
Choosing a Quality Education in Hypnotherapy

When we decide to learn hypnosis, there are many levels that we can start from. We can read a book, watch YouTube videos, take a 3 to 5-day workshop, or we can learn about the highest standards in the profession and work to measure up to those. This article is designed to help anyone looking to truly understand the profession of hypnotherapy to learn hypnosis properly through educational institutes that are not mere weekend hypnosis trainings, but rather are true licensed vocational institutes that offer legitimate credentials in an occupation that we want you to be proud of.
Monday Night Conscious Community Class: Is there a difference between hypnosis and meditation?

Is there a difference between hypnosis and meditation?
We often hear of the altered state of hypnosis in the same way that we hear of guided imagery, visualization work, and meditation, yet are all of these things the same? In this upcoming Monday Night Conscious Community Class, we will explore the differences and the similarities when it comes to various types of altered states. Most importantly, we will explore the difference between simple hypnosis, basic and advanced meditation techniques, as a well as clinical hypnotherapy training and how the altered state of hypnosis can be used in extremely powerful ways once we know how to apply it properly. Join us this Monday Night at 7:00pm EST with Institute of Hypnotherapy Founder and Lead Instructor, Matthew Brownstein.
Monday Night Webinar: Higher-Self Based Hypnotherapy Training

Does classical hypnosis training offer the opportunity to connect with spiritual realms of being? Is it wise to blend down-to-earth scientific hypnotism training with metaphysics? If we keep discussions about “Higher Self” out of the hypnotherapy dialogue, do we miss something vital and important? If we answer that it is best to acknowledge a reality beyond the physical, then at what point in an education in hypnotherapy should we discuss transpersonal ideas? Join us on Monday the 9th at 7:00pm EST for a live online webinar to discuss scientific hypnotherapy and the place for “Higher Self” in this life-transforming field of study.
Monday Night Webinar: Medical Hypnotherapy Training

Hypnosis can be used for more than just behavior modification and non-therapeutic applications. Many people are not aware of the clinical uses of hypnosis and what State laws govern this practice. For many hypnotists or hypnotherapists, regardless of their level of training, they work with therapeutic and non-therapeutic forms of hypnosis and touch upon medical, mental health and dental conditions without a legal basis to do so. Misunderstandings about our profession and the laws that govern it keep many people from learning hypnotherapy and embracing a career as a hypnotherapist. For anyone interested in utilizing hypnosis in a professional manner, we invite you to join us this Monday Night at 7:00pm as we discuss Medical Hypnosis, Hypnosis Law and Scope of Practice Assessment; all designed to keep you and your clients safe and within the confines of the law.
Monday Night Webinar: Finding Freedom through Hypnotherapy

What does it mean to be truly free? Is it the ability to go where you want, when you want and with whom you want, or is freedom something deeper that we can find within ourselves regardless of our external circumstances? Must we work to make the outside world to be exactly as we want it to be to experience freedom or can we discover an inner sense of calm and peace that is available to us under any circumstances? Join us this Monday Night at 7:00pm EST for a free webinar with Institute Founder, Matthew Brownstein, as we discuss how hypnotherapy and an education in hypnotherapy can free the heart and mind of old blockages that keep us from true freedom and true peace.
