FAQs

What makes this course different?

The key distinction is the psychotherapy model we use. Hypnotherapy does not cure anything by itself. It is a vehicle to deliver psychotherapy. Our course utilizes the benefits of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Strategic Psychotherapy, and Solution Oriented Therapy through hypnosis. Additionally, the Gordian Pillars of Psychotherapy are unique to IAP and offer people without experience a simple framework to quickly assess and understand complex issues. This is unique in the world.

Can I do this if I have no experience in Therapy?

Absolutely. There will be people of different levels of experience in the room, but this model is as new to a psychologist or counselor as it is to a novice.

What if I am already a talk therapist? Do I still have to do the Psychotherapy competencies?

No. You can do the Hypnosis Certificate (first four days of the course plus Elearning) and then apply whatever psychotherapy model you currently use through Clinical Hypnosis. Once you are here, if you decide you like our specific model of therapy, you can upgrade to the full course if you wish. (12 more days)

I have not studied in decades. Can I really do this?

You can join the course if you are currently studying in a related field, or if you have five years of work experience. Otherwise, apologies, but we can’t accept you. This course requires a level of “life experience” that none of us has in our early twenties.

How do you support me after graduating?

It’s OK! You are safe. You can choose to stay with us for supervision and you have ongoing access to your Learning Annex – Over 400 video demonstrations, lectures, research papers, and clinical tools. If you are ever unsure how to run a session, you can watch your trainer do it the night before your client arrives. This. is unique to IAP. Simple.
