Why learn trauma-informed hypnosis as a therapist?
Your Therapeutic Superpower
Hypnosis is a state of absorbed attention and inner focus that anyone can learn to access. When we experience hypnosis, we not only feel calmer, but we are better able to access inner resources, and integrate information from both the logical and emotional regions of the brain.
This improved brain connectivity allows us to grasp new perspectives, influence the nervous system, and change the way we feel, think, and react more easily.
Hypnosis enhances the effect of cognitive-behavioral therapy by 66-70%
Clinical hypnosis can help your patients get better results, faster.

Plus, clinical hypnosis is enjoyable for clients, providing a pleasant tool they can use to ease pain, calm anxiety, manage cravings and boost motivation. Rather than leaving sessions feeling drained, clients will leave your hypnosis sessions feeling relaxed and uplifted.
Whether you are new to hypnosis or have had prior hypnosis training, we’ll teach you how to harness the power of clinical hypnosis to transform patient outcomes.
