“The course presentation very integrated, compact, could always refer back to material before or after sessions, very challenging at times for me – out of my depth at times, especially after sessions.
“It gave me an opportunity to learn much about myself moving out of comfort zone in the first instance and taking a metha-stance to understand my responses [in relation to my basic needs, for example].
“The course was far more than just content – or about the ‘how to’ do hypnosis for me. That in itself has been very useful and fulfilling of course, but new concepts about the role of [self] hypnotic induction really enriched my way of thinking as a whole, e.g. on my personal spiritual meditation level; as well as understanding the significance of language [metaphor, narrative, reframing, prescribing of symptom, double bind] in therapy, and checking on hypnotic content in everyday conversations. I also tried self hypnosis during a migraine attack and minimised the irritating light flashes in my eyes.
“The ‘know how’ expertise, I’m sure will continue with practice and I am currently reviewing the course holistically to integrate into my therapy practice further.”
