Cognitive Behaviour Hypnotherapy
I began my training in hypnotherapy with the LCCH and after working as a hypnotherapist for many years I became interested in the cognitive and behavioural approaches to hypnotherapy. I pursued this interest and gained a Masters degree at Goldsmith College in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). My knowledge and confidence as a hypnotherapist grew and I started integrating the two with great results. After running many Masterclasses on specific topics combining these two styles of therapies and listening to feedback from students and other therapists, the LCCH felt that it was time to develop a diploma course for those students qualified in hypnotherapy and with an interest in CBT. CBT is an action-oriented humanistic approach to emotional growth that stresses individuals' capacity for creating, altering, and controlling their emotional states. It places emphasis on the present, on currently-held attitudes, painful emotions, and maladaptive/ dysfunctional behaviours known to sabotage a fuller experience of life. In other words, it teaches people how to overcome the past by focusing on the present. It also helps clients to implement healthy and realistic alternatives to current problematic psychological patterns. CBT offers proven techniques for solving problems. Practitioners work closely with their clients, seeking to help uncover their individual set of beliefs (attitudes, expectations and personal rules) that frequently lead to emotional distress. It then offers a variety of methods to help people reformulate their unhealthy beliefs into more sensible, realistic and helpful ones, by employing powerful techniques. Ultimately, it helps people to develop a philosophy and approach to living that can increase effectiveness and happiness in all areas of life. Practitioner Diploma in Cognitive Behaviour HypnotherapyMost hypnotherapy practitioners are hungry to work effectively and with confidence that is grounded in a powerful psychological model. This diploma course not only provides this but also provides a therapeutic structure, clinically sound, and which enables the practitioner to help client progress. It also helps practitioners deal with obstacles that we all commonly face in our practice. The course is both theoretical and practical. Practitioners will develop a solid understanding of the theory and process of CBT. This will involve lectures, demonstration and experiential work. Part of the course involves therapeutic work outside the trance state. As the course develops practitioners will learn how to integrate their hypnotherapeutic techniques effectively and apply them specifically in hypnosis within a cognitive and behavioural framework. This course is designed for qualified hypnotherapists. The following are the minimum entry requirements for the Practitioner Diploma in Cognitive and Behavioural Hypnotherapy:
To receive the Practitioner Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy you will be required to complete a written examination paper and submit a written case study. Relevant consent forms would need to be in place for the submission of the case study. A minimum of six tutorial sessions will be required as part of the course structure and clinical supervision will be available for those wishing to keep a log of their clinical experience. Clinical supervision is strongly recommended but not complusory. "Excellent course!!!. Never had so much fun learning something so valuable. A priceless tool to use in my life and helping others.
