CLINICAL HYPNOTHERAPIST CERTIFICATION PROGRAM

Here  are some of the topics covered in the courses for Clinical Certification.

Clinical Hypnotherapist Certification
HYP 601 HYPNOTHERAPY AND THE PARANORMAL
(50 hrs)

This is all about the Psyche.

(Course formerly titled Uncommon Hypnotherapy)
A Therapeutic Approach

Pre-requisite: HYP 101, HYP 201, 202, 203, 204 or equivalent

Maximum attendance:  8

The Situation. 
Karmic conditions, recurring “bad luck”, mood swings, sudden changes in personality, hallucinations, visions, voices, split personality, multiple personalities, and other situations emerging during a consultation.

Part of the Solution.
Increasing awareness as to the possible origins of these conditions in order to help clients/patients resolve what torments them, setting them free, enabling them to become fully functional human beings.

The Seminar.
A fascinating 5 days, introducing the use and applications of hypnotherapy to access a world alive and well to the client, and beyond our 3 dimensional perception.  Age regression, pre- and peri-natal regression, the near-death experience, the after death experience as well as past life therapy techniques pertaining to the subject taught will be described and demonstrated.

The Course.
The course consists of lectures, video presentation, live demonstrations including “Remote Hypnotherapy” a hypnotherapy session In Absentia (through a surrogate).  This latest technique was originally developed by Anny Slegten in 1987 to work with people in a coma, and children and/or adults unable to communicate.  It has since been proven very effective in a full range of situations, including removing intrusive energies from people, lands, houses and buildings.  Each person in attendance will have the opportunity to experience being a surrogate.

Since many techniques used to work during Remote Hypnotherapy Sessions are similar to techniques used when doing Astral Projection, Astral Projection is now part of what will be taught in this course.

A certificate will be presented upon completion of this course.

Did not take your Hypnotism Training with us?  We will be happy to have you join us and a Continuing Education Certificate will be presented to you upon completion of the course. When registering for this course, let us know where you took your hypnosis training.

Clinical Hypnotherapist Certification:
HYP 602 PHYSIOLOGICAL STRESS RELEASE
(50 hrs)

(formerly HYP 701, Critical Incident)

Pre-requisite: HYP 101, HYP 201, 202, 203, 204, or equivalent

Maximum attendance: 8

This is all about the Soma, the physical body.

The Workshop. (presented in four parts)

1. Hypnosis in the Field 
For emergencies and emergency medical responders.

2. Body Cell Regression

The Question. 
Is it possible to take control over genetics, and limitations placed on us by our ancestors?  Can these limitations be the residues of physical and emotional traumas manifesting in various physical and emotional disorders?

Answer.
Profound emotions are ‘frozen’ in the cells (genetic memory) and passed on from generation to generation.  For this technique, the client goes down the family tree, accessing ancestral memories, to unlock the cause of the “family curse”.  The intentions are to free future generations from these limitations, as well restoring physical equilibrium to the present generation, allowing the body to enjoy perfect harmony as it was intended.

3.1. Emotional Stress Release

The Question.
Can a harmonious bond between the psyche and the soma be restored, allowing the body to enjoy perfect harmony as it was originally intended?

Answer.
After an accident or traumatic event, “chronic pain” can be manifestations of emotional issues (it becomes evident when after exhausting all physical resources, a person is told “it’s all in the head”). Counselling techniques on the trigger and releasing of these issues will be demonstrated. The technique is simple, compassionate, and usually restores emotional order in one session.

3.2. Physical Stress Release

The Technique 
The client is first lead into a hypnotic trance, and then encouraged to access and trigger the memories of the trauma by acknowledging a physical discomfort.  As stated before, this technique is as efficient as it is simple.  The information comes spontaneously and with great emotion.  There will be demonstrations followed by practice sessions.

The Results
With emotional order comes clear memory and an awakening of the body.  Consequently, some clients have experienced total feeling back in their limbs; total freedom from allergies; complete release of chronic pain; to just mention a few cases.  Remember, the technique being demonstrated is not meant as a substitute for medical or psychological help.  Instead it is a powerful adjunct.

A certificate will be presented upon completion of this course.

Did not take your Hypnotism Training with us?  We will be happy to have you join us and a Continuing Education Certificate will be presented to you upon completion of the course. When registering for this course, let us know where you took your hypnosis training.

What is a Doula?
Coming from the Greek, a Doula is a woman’s servant or slave.  Although giving birth is work, this name was found to be more appropriate than “labour support” person, and rightfully so!

A Hypno-Doula will be a highly qualified person to help women from fertility issues, pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum.
For childbirth, the Hypno-Doula will be trained at helping in any situation, co-operating respecting and understanding the wishes of the birthing mother as well as the professional requirements of the medical staff.

The purpose of this training is to help women have their control back and allow their body to do what it is built for:  conceive, carry and then give birth to a baby.

Beth Smolyk, R.N., will be sharing her experience as a mother and as a registered Nurse and will suggest how to navigate the medical environment. For the attendees to have a good understanding of the different procedures and vocabulary used in such circumstances, Beth will explain and teach how to help a woman during labour and during childbirth, should the woman want the Hypno-Doula ( a “Birthing Hypno-Doula” assisting a Midwife or the Medical Staff)) to be with her during delivery.
Beth is highly qualified in this field. Her ability to share here knowledge and her passion for the subject makes her well suited to teach this material.

Anny Slegten will teach the use of hypnosis, hypnotherapy and other modalities pertaining to conception, pregnancy, post partum and parenting. Anny will also suggest practical and effective business advice on the subject.

Note: Attendance to HYP 301 with Dr David Brown is the requirement to receive  a 50 hrs Continuing Education Certificate upon completion of this course.

For the student mostly interested at taking the complete training for hypnotic anaesthesia for surgery, hypnosis for pain control is included in most of HTIA general hypnosis and hypnotherapy courses. In addition: to qualify for the Hypno-Anaesthesia Certification, one must first of all studied and practiced hypnotic pain control on self and clients for about five years, using it for pre- and post-operative support, childbirth, dental treatment etc, until the first opportunity arise to carry out a full hypnotic anaesthesia as a replacement for chemical anaesthesia in surgery.  This route is strongly recommended to anyone interested in the field.

Time:  8:30 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. or later
            Monday to Friday

Instructors: Beth Smolyk, R.N.
                       Anny Slegten, Director HTIA

Kisikow™ Method of Healing

"The Light Comes On"

We are proud to offer this specialized course developed and taught by Kisikow Pimotew (a.k.a. Pat Buffalo).

I met Kisikow (pronounced Kis’ko) Pimotew (Pimotew means Day walker) or Pat Buffalo, 15 years ago. He is a member of the Samson Cree Nation in Hobbema, Alberta.

Highly interested in healing modalities, Pat was curious about hypnosis and hypnotherapy. Taking training with Anny Slegten at the Hypnotism Training Institute of Alberta, his curiosity turned into fascination and Pat quickly became an excellent Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist. Displaying an affinity with Energy Work, Pat pursued his quest by taking many more courses and trainings, too many to mention here. This also included becoming a Reiki Master/Teacher certified by The Reiki Training Centre of Canada.

What is “Kisikow”™

Kisikow™ is a Cree word. In general, it means daylight, and in this context, it means “The Light Comes On.”

Powerful and highly respected in his field, and strongly influenced by First Nations spiritual healing, Pat developed the Kisikow Method by combining Energy Work and Hypnotherapy.

According to Anny Slegten, observing how creative Pat is at using the aura meter for various situations is a course in itself.

Whether your familiar with energy work (Reiki – Thought Field Therapy - Healing Touch – Kinesiology, just to name a few), practicing Dowsing, an NLP Practitioner, a Social Worker, a Hypnotist or Hypnotherapist, or just interested in an unique and safe method of healing, come and discover how fast and accurate the Kisikow Method of Healing is at finding the cause of discomfort and learn new methods for healing. This is a fun and interesting course open to anyone with a genuine interest in the subject. We will be happy to have you join us.
