Can online hypnotherapy training provide real practical experience?
Online hypnotherapy training can include substantial hands-on practice. At HTA, live Zoom classes include demonstrations and partner work, with time to discuss what happened during each exercise. Working with classmates gives learners a chance to see how theory actually plays out in conversation.
Why is this course different from others that are on offer?
Our point of distinction rests with the application of our own original teaching methods, “The Marilyn Newman Method”, named after our founder. Marilyn carefully documented her methods and proved their effectiveness during her long career as a Hypnotherapist and as Director of Hypnotherapy Training Australia.
As Marilyn’s Daughter, Kaz Field Anderson stepped up to Director of Training after Marilyn’s passing, she wanted to add more process work, so students could really work through their issues and gain clarity, authenticity and a complete understanding of what their clients will experience first hand.
There is no better teacher than experience and we have found that our students really get it and have consequently embodied their learning through direct experience within their own practices.
Kaz believes in a 3 pronged approach….The Mind, The Body and The Spirit. We must take all 3 into account when working with Trauma, as the Mind gets sick, then the spirit, then the body. For healing, we must work with all 3 in the subconscious.
The essential strength of Marilyn’s and Kaz’ original methods, combined with practicing and teaching Hypnotherapy & Psychotherapy is what CEO and Director of training, John Pemberton further brings to the HTA community, combining beautifully and powerfully together the capacity to bring people to their centres and back to a space of peace and love.
Guidance in returning to ‘the heart’ and consolidating the experience of self acceptance is the foundation of self empowerment, and therefore our capacity to reach out and help others.
Hypnotherapy Training Australia is Accredited with the Australian Society of Clinical Hypnotherapy, Recognised by Australian Hypnotherapy Association, Professional Hypnotherapists of Australia, and is a Founding Member of the Hypnotherapy Council of Australia and HTA has a Platinum Training Award Status with I.I.C.T.
