PAUSE Training Programs

PAUSE: A Comprehensive Approach to Wholeness

New Vistas International offers a complete range of training options on the PAUSE Model, from Self-Mastery to PAUSE Certified Master Instructor. Each track offers the student an opportunity to deepen their resources, increase their skill-set, and escalate their personal growth, and if desired, widen their professional offering. NVI follows the professional training guidelines of both the Nevada Commission on Postsecondary Education and the American Council of Hypnotist Examiners (A.C.H.E.). Upon successful completion of each level the graduate will be awarded the appropriate PAUSE level certification, and their information will be passed to the A.C.H.E. for further recognition, as appropriate.

PAUSE Self-Mastery Track

The intention of the PAUSE Self-Mastery track is to support the individual in determining and proceeding on their PAUSE Personal Path to Wholeness. Arguably every client, student, counselor, and instructor is actually working on this program for themselves. As we work with others, we work with ourselves. The course curriculum in this track includes all the elements of the PAUSE Model without the requirement of qualifying or participating as a counselor.

Students who do not wish professional certification and are focused on personal growth and Self-Mastery are an important part of our training program. We encourage Self-Mastery students to attend any of the Online Training programs that have a Self-Mastery component. Look for the -SM flag in the description, and the separate Self-Mastery offerings in the New Vistas International Catalog. There are typically no mandatory exams or attendance required.

Students that have taken successfully taken the Self-Mastery Class in the previous three (3) years will receive a significant discount on taking the same class as a Professional. A Professional Student not completing a class can petition the Registrar for a Self-Mastery certification for a given class to track hours and attendance. Please review the appropriate section of the Catalog for more information.

PAUSE Instructor Track

To be a PAUSE Certified Instructor requires a mastery of the PAUSE Model of Counseling™, and an ability to share this information easily with others. The appropriate level of mastery is demonstrated through Instructor training, assigned research projects, and an internship where the Instructor Candidate participates in teaching students in a supervised setting.

Instructor Candidates need to have successfully graduated from the programs they wish to teach. They then need to perform successfully in the role of Student Teacher for the desired class. Specialization classes as a Student Teacher are an excellent way to get mastery of the core subject areas within the PAUSE Model.

There are two options within the PAUSE Instructor program: The PAUSE Spiritual Counselor Instructor (S-track) and PAUSE Clinical Hypnotherapist Instructor (H-track). Both programs are based on the PAUSE Model and include physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual components. The PAUSE Spiritual Counseling track includes an interfaith theosophical component.
