from the book “TRAINING TRANCES....”
6 days


Note: Our Basic course is a pre-requisite for this course. Please see the tab on the left for the Basic Hypnosis Course which is on audio for you to listen to as you prepare for the training.

This six day training begins with the hypnotic approaches of Milton Erickson, M.D. as modeled by John Overdurf and Julie Silverthorn. The research and original material taught in this training is the basis for their book Training Trances: Multi-level Communication in Therapy and Training. It also includes advanced models which Julie and John have created for emotional and physiological healing that utilize purely unconscious processes for change. This is a great training for those interested in deepening their competence in using hypnosis personally and professionally. Many graduates credit this intensive training with integrating their understanding and use, of not only hypnosis, but also NLP.
