The purpose of this training is to assist you in experiencing the power, the joy, and the creativity of your true nature, and teach you how to bring it out in others.

What distinguishes our training is the comprehensive approach derived from the synthesis of powerful insights and techniques that have proven useful in dissolving the blocks we have created within ourselves.  These blocks are formed by the creation of often unconscious beliefs resulting from various experiences in our lives.  Most medical and psychological approaches to illness that can be manifested by these blocks merely treat the outward symptoms and at best create a healthier alternative.  They do not address the core beliefs and the energetic holding patterns that are the root cause of the symptoms.

Recognizing the outward manifestation of these limiting beliefs is a core element of our program.  Once the outward demonstration has been defined, we then follow the trail inward to the root cause.  Here is where all true therapy lies – in the psychological realm of the mind.  We utilize guided meditation and hypnotherapy due to its ability to get an individual out of their outward “story” and directly address the core limiting beliefs that are held in the unconscious.

Our professional programs are designed for students who are seeking:

• To become certified as a Professional Counselor
• To become certified as a Clinical Hypnotherapist
• To expand their existing healthcare, service, or counseling practice
• Self-Mastery in all areas of their life

We offer a unique approach to Counseling and Hypnotherapy by utilizing the PAUSE Model as our core methodology.  It provides a practical framework to conducting therapy that is tested, creates lasting change, has a sensible approach, and offers a repeatable process.  We accomplish that utilizing the tools provided by Clinical Hypnotherapy, NLP, Integrative Body Movement, The Characterological Defense System, The Enneagram, Trauma Resolution, A Course in Miracles, Emotional Freedom Technique, and more.

Teaching Approach

We offer two formats designed to meet the various needs of our students.  The Weekend Intensive Format (A) requires full in-classroom attendance for 100 hours.  The Long Distance Learning Format (B) combines Self-Directed study (40 hours), Instructor-led Internet Webinar Training (27+ hours), and a final In-Classroom Intensive (40 hours) which minimizes travel and yet provides the opportunity for professional certification with an in-depth, Instructor supervised learning experience.

Weekend Intensives – Format (A)

The In-Person version of Level One of our professional training program Mastering the Therapeutic Process™ is fully Instructor Led, and portions of the class may be video and audio taped.  As a result, all participants shown on video will be asked to sign waivers.  The class will be held on all-day Saturday and Sunday for one weekend a month, for three to five consecutive months, as needed to reach the 100 hour training goal.  Please refer to the website for the exact schedule.

Long Distance Learning – Format (B)

This program is offered in three parts:

At Home:

The self-directed portion consists of 40 hours of home and partner study via Audio, Visual, Skype, and Written material, including self-examinations.  New Vistas will provide each student with an MP3 Player and Website loaded with all material needed for remote training (first 60 hours), including Audio, Video, Word and PDF Documents.

Internet Webinar:

Instructor-Led weekly seminars over 18 weeks are 90 minutes long and are designed to assist the students in a deeper, more interactive model while remaining very convenient.  All students are required to have access to a Broadband connected PC with Audio Headsets.

In-Classroom:

The in-classroom segment consists of a 6-day intensive designed to provide 40 hours of Instructor-led training, including directed Guided Meditation, Trancework, NLP, and Trauma Resolution Practicum, mutual hypnosis sessions, and final examinations.  Many students have commented on how powerful and life-changing the experiential portions of this training has been for them.

All portions of the program are supported by a dedicated website, discussion board, email, online, and phone support from the Instructional staff.

Homework:

Homework for both formats includes conducting 10 sessions of Hypnosis, Journaling, Logbook entries, directed reading, examinations, and Self-Hypnosis.
