Think you’re fully trained..?

Most degrees and programs overlook critical skills that create lasting change.

Did you know…

E

The average time spent earning an advanced degree in psychology is 6-8 years.

E

Yet the overwhelming majority of these professionals receive no training on how to work effectively with the subconscious mind.

E

Meanwhile, over 16,000 scientific studies validate the effectiveness of therapeutic hypnosis.

Effectiveness Comparison:

Hypnotherapy (6 sessions): 93% effective
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (22 sessions): 72% effective
Psychoanalysis (600 sessions): 38% effective

What does this mean for you?

Investing in hypnotherapy training can significantly enhance your practice.

With our comprehensive training, you can achieve remarkable results in a fraction of the time and cost of traditional therapy methods.

For licensed professionals, coaches, and wellness practitioners, these tools are essential for creating profound growth and positive change. One could say it’s a crucial investment in your professional growth and client success.

“If hypnosis were a drug, it would be standard of care.”

From “Hypnosis: The Most Effective Treatment You Have Yet to Prescribe” published in the American Journal of Medicine (3/2021)

The hypnotherapy certification training led by Jack and Evelyn was both educational and experiential, not to mention very fun! I’m a Licensed MFT working with brain injured patients. Adding hypnotherapy to my practice not only advanced my personal learning and growth, but enhanced the therapeutic quality and benefits experienced by my patients. Often, as a result of stroke or other type of brain injury, some patients experience weakness or paralysis on one side of their body. Through hypnosis, for example, one of my patients regained the ability to move a part of his body that had been paralyzed by stroke. This is just one example of the healing properties hypnotherapy can provide. In my practice, I now frequently integrate hypnosis to help patients with other problems such as stress management, anxiety and phobias, and weight loss. I can’t thank Jack and Evelyn enough for their amazing teaching and training!

MORE DETAILS:

How is our immersive training different from traditional learning methods?

In general, most standard education consists largely of a lot of “what”. Simply memorize and regurgitate the info and you pass the course. That is most definitely NOT the way to learn the art and science of hypnotherapy and subconscious coaching.

In contrast, we consider your unique learning style and provide you with a good balance of “what”, “how”, “why” and “what if”.

Learning with us is a unique opportunity to receive maximum one-on-one interaction with top-level instructors (similar to the renowned “Tutorial Method”, pioneered at the University of Oxford), enrich your mind in new and engaging ways, and experience a huge, positive shift!

Research shows that adults learn best in real-world, immersive settings with immediate feedback.

Experiential learning is a well-known model in education. It builds skills, confidence, and gives you the opportunity to practice. It also develops attitudes such as curiosity, a willingness to experiment, and self-direction.

Being hands-on is crucial when learning hypnotherapy and subconscious coaching because it allows you to engage in kinesthetic learning while also having access to real-time coaching and feedback as you learn.


OTHER IMMERSIVE LEARNING BENEFITS:

It Enhances Your Learning and Retention

Immersive learning offers significantly higher retention rates. Imagine remembering up to 75% of what you learn compared to just 10% with traditional methods. Our immersive training deeply engages you with the material, making it stick much better through real-world simulations. You get to engage in hands-on practice, make decisions, and receive immediate feedback. This helps you build momentum and retain information more effectively.

It Boosts Your Engagement and Motivation

Our training is interactive and engaging, keeping you motivated and focused. Learning is made fun and memorable, enhancing your involvement and ensuring lasting impressions. You get to practice in a controlled, risk-free setting, allowing you to learn from mistakes without real-world consequences. This boosts your confidence and competence, turning errors into valuable learning moments.

It Speeds Up Your Skill Building

Instead of spreading your learning over many months, our immersive format helps you pick up and refine new skills quickly. Regular, intensive practice sessions reinforce new skills and habits more effectively than occasional sessions spread out over time. This hands-on approach bridges the gap between theory and practice, ensuring you’re ready to apply what you’ve learned in no time.

Overall, our immersive training program supercharges your growth and makes learning exciting. It’s the ultimate way to boost your skills and reach your goals faster and more effectively than you ever thought possible.

Get ready to see transformative results in weeks, not months or years!

 

How does our training schedule compare to traditional schedules?

Our clear, condensed schedule requires a short-term, intensive commitment with several dedicated blocks of no more 3–4 days each week. Each of those days consists of four 90-minute sessions.

This approach minimizes long-term disruptions (see comparisons below) to your personal and professional routines, helping you achieve your goals up to 7 times faster and more effectively than a year-long course with weekly classes.

It’s a big time-saver, so you can fully dedicate your energy and attention to the training, making the most of your time.

A MORE DETAILED COMPARISON

Our Immersive, Intensive Trainings:

  • Clinical Hypnotherapy: 9 days within a three-week period, plus an additional 3-hour weekly online mindfulness training over an eight-week period.

  • Total Duration (of both trainings together): 22 days of intensive training spread over eight weeks
  • Total Hours (of both trainings together): 225 hours (includes practice/review time) over two months

  • To achieve comparable hours, you would need to take approximately four courses.
  • Total Duration: 15 weeks per course x 4 courses = 60 weeks
  • Total Time Commitment: Over a year, assuming no overlap in courses.

Conventional Once-a-Week Trainings:

  • Typically meet once a week for 3 hours.
  • To achieve comparable hours, the program would need to run for 52 weeks.
  • Total Duration: 52 weeks (one year).
