Statement of Need:
The North Texas Society of Clinical Hypnosis has been active since 1981. Our regular programming has drawn from a wealth of local resource professionals most of whom have retired over the last decade. Our frequent meeting schedule provides opportunity to build sustained interest and at this time we consider ourselves to be fortunate to have a growing population of professionals who are relatively new to hypnosis.
The NTSCH has long offered classes reaching out to interested individuals who may not be able to dedicate a weekend to the national training. Over the last few years, due to administrative misunderstandings regarding pre-approval, the NTSCH now has a dozen intermediate students who completed what was mistakenly identified as meeting requirements of intermediate training. This error came to light when students attempted to matriculate into Certified Status.
In response to this concern, we are making every effort to meet the criteria for pre-approval for all of our programming. It is hoped that this program will be approved so that we offer it to students on an ongoing basis for the remainder of the year 2016
This intermediate program is conceptualized as a series of six-hour sessions (five hours of actual training time each session) offered on a monthly basis. An intermediate student must attend a brief orientation, and at least four of the practice sessions. The four sessions involves twenty-four clock-hours allowing for a solid twenty hours of training time. While it is intended that the intermediate classes will be offered once a month, in order to attend to the backlog of students, a full twenty hour training weekend will be on July 15, 16 and 17th. The clock hours will be 8 am to 3:30 pm each of those three days.
The format of this intermediate program is intentionally designed to support self-directed growth, and to encourage the development of a professional cohort learning together. The program emphasizes live demonstrations and practical experiences, with minimal reliance on videos. Professional videos are already offered on a regular basis in our monthly study groups.
The economic costs of our programs have facilitated our student's investment in books that can then serve as reference materials for ongoing growth. Our local chapter has amassed an extensive collection of materials that are loaned out. It is recommended that each student have their own copies of the first four books listed in the references.
By building our local community knowledge base, we not only enhance our referral networking but nourish the opportunity for ongoing growth and cooperative effort that continues to promote outreach ad the responsible use of clinical hypnosi
Course Description
This course is designed for clinicians who seek an intermediate certificate, and whom have already had some actual experiences in practicing hypnosis in a treatment setting or therapeutic context.
The primary purpose of this course is to provide a broad base of reflection and feedback regarding methodology and execution. More importantly it promotes a deeper understanding of one's own therapeutic orientation on how hypnosis can be used to further ones professional work. It is anticipated that students will become more comfortable, confident and proficient in their hypnotic skills and will also learn to expand their repertoire.
Upon enrollment, the intermediate students will be issued coursework notebook including required reading. The reading and preparatory work must be done prior to training, and this is outlined in the student notebook. Each student will self-monitor their own progress through the course work using a check list. Supervisory staff will offer instructions and guidance, monitor productive time use and as well as give feedback and insight regarding the performance of each participant.
Sessions are oriented to a small group format in which participants demonstrate skills and therapeutic techniques. Each demonstration is followed by a discussion in which the hypnotist along with the demonstration subject discusses the intent, planning, execution, techniques and the subject's responses. Feedback will be offered by supervisors and peers, and will include observations as well as potential alternative approaches.
