Life by Design with Barbara Jo Hawkins

Myths and Misconceptions About Hypnosis
1. MYTH: Only the weak-minded can be hypnotized. If I'm strong-minded and in control, I can't be hypnotized. You should have told the client to type it up for you

2. MYTH: Hypnosis means being asleep or unconscious.

3. MYTH: I have to give up all my control to the operator. The hypnotist will be able to make me do things I don't want to do.

4. MYTH: I might tell secrets and reveal something awful about myself.

5. MYTH: The state of hypnosis is dangerous.

6. MYTH: I'm not a good subject for hypnosis. OR: Someone tried to hypnotize me once and it didn't work, therefore I can't be hypnotized.

7. Hypnotists have special powers.

8. If the hypnotist dropped dead, I'd never come out of trance.

The Comprehensive Hypnotherapy Certification Training Course with Barbara Jo Hawkins.
This course is for EVERYONE - not only therapists.

This course is the cream of Hypnosis, NLP and Applied Kinesiology in a practical, hands-on format.
Barbara orients you to the profoundly healing uses of hypnosis for lay people and professionals alike. Help your children, your friends; help yourself!

The emphasis is on "getting to the cause" rather than attempting to change by just adding new suggestions to the brain.

These five days could change your life! You can let go of crippling emotions and have positive life changes DURING the course!

And you practice, practice, PRACTICE.

In five days you will develop and expand your skill using inductions, deepenings, self-hypnosis, age regression, rapid phobia treatment, Treasured memory technique, Divine Intervention technique, change prior life scripts, language of unconscious influence for daily life, even past life regression.

And much more!

Break through to a new level of meaning in your life!
Comprehensive Hypnotherapy Training
Even if you've had other training you'll want to experience this one! Normally available only in Washington, North Carolina and Virginia, this course is virtually unique.

It's a brilliant blend of traditional suggestion hypnosis, neurolinguistic programming (NLP) and Kinesiology. Also you'll be introduced to Ericksonian Language and practice it.

During the class you'll have lots of time to practice and, when the class is completed, you feel both competent and confident. You know you've learned quality techniques which can create significant – even amazing – change and you know you're competent to use them.

Some people have asked "What if my friend (client) gets really upset? What can I do? I'll only be a beginner."

What a great question that is and it's certainly appropriate. During the class we include techniques which may totally avert a possibility that will happen AND you'll have ways to deal with it if it does.

Be prepared because there is homework. There's a textbook along with specific assignments and specific practice sessions.

This is a Master Hypnotist certification course. It is not only expected, it is REQUIRED that you practice and do homework between class sessions. By the end of the course you must evidence by your conversation, your questions, your behavior and your conduct of practice sessions that you have practiced and done your homework. You may be required to hypnotize and take Barbara Hawkins – or someone she designates – through a complete session in order to give evidence of a reasonable level of confidence and competence.

At the end of the course, assuming you have fulfilled the above, you will receive a certificate as a Master Hypnotist. If the above conditions have not been satisfactorily fulfilled yet there has been full-day attendance in every class, a Certificate of Attendance is issued.

In the eventuality that a student receives the Certificate of Attendance and would like to be certified as a Master Hypnotist, the student has three months in which to contact Barbara Hawkins and arrange a time at which the student hypnotizes Ms. Hawkins in order to evidence a reasonable degree of competence. After that session, if Ms. Hawkins believes the student has shown a reasonable degree of competency, a Master Hypnotist certificate will be issued to replace the Certificate of Attendance.

Texts for the course are:
1. "Conversational Hypnosis: A Manual of Indirect Suggestion" by Carol Sommer
2. "The New Hypnotherapy Handbook" by Kevin Hogan
3. "Secrets of Self-Hypnosis" by Dr. Bruce Goldberg
4. "Hypnotherapy" by Dave Elman (optional, yet highly recommended)

It is expected that each student will buy their books independently of tuition. While the above are available from Amazon, students are free to buy where they choose.
