It’s Not Just a Hypnotherapy Course

a note stating this will change your life

How hypnotherapy training can change your life too..

One of our Senior Lecturers, only realised he’d like to train as a clinical hypnotherapist three days before starting his course with David Newton in Bristol. He ended up having his interview the day before the course started.  Now that’s what we call last minute!  Who’d have thought all these years later, well, over 10 years later, he’d be a supervisor and a senior lecturer with the same organisation.

Students Say it is Life Changing:

Previous students often say that this course is a life-changer. Whilst receiving the training on how the brain works, it not only has a life-changing effect for their case study participants, but also for the students themselves. As they apply what they learn to their own lives they tell us about the positive effects this has, for instance:

They tell us about how:

  • they’re sleeping better;
  • they’re dealing with everyday life in a better way;
  • they’ve taken COVID in their stride much more so than they would have done previously;
  • they’re loving helping people and getting the positive feedback as a result.
  • And more… a lot more!

Even after they graduate, we still receive updates from them. Many of them become our supervisees.  This means we stay in very regular contact as we continue to support them as they build their businesses.

We like to see them develop their careers and they’ve started well. Having studied on a very strong course that covers a multitude of areas. Just taking the symptomology we teach them to work is extensive, such as:

Anxiety, depression, addictions, anger, blood pressure, blushing, lack of confidence, insomnia, IBS, smoking cessation, relationship difficulties, migraines, nail biting, nightmares, obsessions (OCD), panic attacks, skin disorders, pain management, weight loss, and a lot more!

Our Success is Widespread:

In fact, at the time of writing this, there are 27 schools across the UK. Therefore, we have an infrastructure that is robust and supports our graduates with not only supervision once they finish their HPD course, but Continuing Professional Development training (CPD).

The HPD course teaches students pretty much everything they need to know for a successful career as a Hypnotherapist. Our CPD’s help graduates refresh, revise and deepen their skills and knowledge. The CPD programme helps keep them fresh and motivated whilst broadening their knowledge in areas such as IBS, Childbirth, PTSD, etc. Knowledge that allows them to talk with more confidence, such as why someone is more likely to suffer from IBS.

And who knows, just like us, they could become future hypnotherapy supervisors or lecturers – you just don’t know where looking through our website could lead you to!

Neuroscience And How The Brain Works

by
two peoples head filled with cogs

A great advantage we have in Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy is that we explain to a client, how the brain works, and how this is reflected in the symptoms or difficulties they are experiencing.

The brain is an extraordinarily complex organ but for the purposed of our explanation, it can be considered as two parts:

There is the intellectual brain, which sets us apart from the other animals and is usually positive. But we also have a part of the brain that has not changed since caveman times – the primitive emotional mind. Many of our difficulties lie in the balance between these two parts of the brain.

The intellectual mind is logical and positive and when we are operating in this part of the brain, we are positive, confident, happy and we make good choices. But the primitive brain, because its job is to protect us, can have a strong negative influence on our thoughts and actions.

If the primitive part of the brain perceives that we are in some sort of danger, or crisis, it will step in to help us. Faced with real danger, the primitive mind will put us into ‘fight or flight’ and changes will happen to our physiology – the heart will race, stomach churn, we will go sweaty – and we will run away. And that would be appropriate, under the circumstances.

But this can sometimes happen in life when we are overworked, stressed and it can gradually build up until the primitive mind misreads this and provokes the ‘fight or flight’ when there is nothing to fight or to run away from !

This causes us to undergo the physiological changes in the body but it doesn’t help, and in fact makes us feel pretty uncomfortable. We know that long term stress can cause a threat to our physical health.

Explaining how the brain works gives the client an understanding of what is happening to them. They can see that what they are experiencing can be explained as a normal response to stress, or to other life event(s).

Further explanation demonstrates to clients of how Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy works, and it shows them that they can take control of their lives to provide hope, optimism, and confidence for a way forward.
