Dr. Rob McNeilly's C.E.T.
Learning Solutions in Hypnosis 

We therapists are increasingly suffering from

  • isolation

  • lack of confidence

  • a safe place to practice

  • overwhelming choices of therapy approaches

  • being weighed down with the strain of having to pretend to be an expert and have all the answers while knowing we don't 

  • dealing with the frustration of feeling stuck with difficult and complex clients

  • boredom

  • burnout or settling for "doing time" until the weekend, holiday or retirement!

  • ​

Traditionally learning about hypnosis requires memorizing a script - "Look at that spot, relax your body, your eyes are getting sleepy, etc., etc., etc.

​

Milton Erickson revolutionized all this by inviting us to focus on

  • hypnosis as an extension of "the common everyday trance"

  • the individuality of each unique client

  • adapting our approach to the client, not require the client to adapt to our "wisdom"

  • the client as the expert, not the therapist

  • the client having the resources, not the therapist

28 Hr. Certificate 

Traditionally learning about hypnosis requires memorising a script - "Look at that spot, relax your body, your eyes are getting sleepy, etc., etc., etc.

 

This programme emphasises learning by doing, avoiding any need for complex theories or techniques. Recurrent practices allow the learning process to be embodied, confidently, respectfully, and securely.

 

This approach emphasises

  • creativity, not mechanical techniques

  • evoking resources and solutions from within a client, not imposing something external

  • listening, not instructing

  • being a partner, not an expert

  • exploring, not treating

  • asking questions, not giving answers

  • creating solutions, not understanding problems

  • focusing on future possibilities, not past limitations

  • observing rather than explaining
