30-Hour ICBCH Advanced Certification Clinical Hypnosis Program
Trancework and Clinical Hypnotherapy
INDEPENDENT HOMESTUDY CE PROGRAM
30 Hours of NAADAC/NBCC/CNE Approved Continuing Education Credits
(This course has a pre-requisite of successfully completing the 20-hour ICBCH Certification Program.)
This 30-hour advanced Certification course is based on two of Richard Nongard's favorite instructive hypnosis textbooks, which are included in the price and will be shipped along with the course documentation materials:
In "Hypnosis in Clinical Practice," Rick Voit and Molly DeLaney help both newly trained and experienced mental health professionals become more comfortable and adept in using hypnosis in their clinical practice.
Despite dramatic evidence of the effectiveness of hypnosis and its growing acceptance, only a small percentage of psychotherapists employ their hypnotherapy training in their practices. This under-use of hypnosis is due to exaggerated misconceptions about its power and the resultant performance anxiety therapists experience after their training.
This text is designed to address therapist performance anxiety surrounding the use of hypnosis by exploring the myths of its power and therapeutic potential. The integration of a straightforward systematic hypnotic approach into therapeutic practice has value both in assessment and treatment, and the professional should be comfortable with its implementation.
"Trancework", by Michael Yapko, is perhaps one of the most influential new texts on the subject of clinical hypnosis. Yapko provides numerous practice exercises and assignments, and every therapist who wants to work hypnotically with clients should read this book.
This course will build on your foundations as a clinical hypnotherapist. It addresses specific modalities of intervention, how to use them, and when.
(Note: Some people question the cost of this 30-CEU credit program, simply becaue the coursework is comprised of only two textbooks. In addition to the heavy administrative requirements for processing exams and maintaining accurate student records for the professional licensure boards, these books are actual textbooks - and if you've priced college textbooks lately, you know they are quite expensive - and we do not receive any discount when procuring them for your advanced and board approved continuing education. )
ICBCH Advanced Certification
We offer this 30-hour textbook-based CEU course in addition to our 20-hour basic Certification program, for two reasons:
1.) Many hypnosis practitioners desire to receive advanced continuing education training on clinical hypnotherapy (which we encourage, because the more training you have, the better services you will provide), primarily for the reasons stated above in the course descriptions, and to enhance their ICBCH Certification status.
2.) State of Florida licensed professionals must meet a 50-hour training requirement in order to practice "hypnotherapy" for illness, injury or disease, under Florida Statute Regulations.
Once you successfully complete the 20-hour program - and then this 30-hour program:
If you are a Certified Hypnotist (C.Ht.), and have now completed a total of 50-hours of training, you may advance your ICBCH Certification level to the Certified Professional Hypnotist (C.P.H.) designation.
Licensed professionals will have already earned the Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist (C.C.H.) recognition and will then receive a new certificate denoting their endorsement of Advanced Certification (C.C.H./A.C.)
State of Florida licensed professionals will also have met the 50-hour training requirement for the "hypnotherapy" practice designation.
Certified Hypnotist (C.Ht.)
This title is reserved for associate members of the ICBCH and is the most basic level of recognition. The requirements for associate membership and certification include completion of our live or homestudy 20-hour certification program. This level of certification is designed for those who practice hypnosis apart from any clinical setting, but have learned the 5-stages of the hypnotic process and use hypnosis primarily to enhance personal life goals and to help people achieve the physical and mental benefits of hypnosis.
Certified Professional Hypnotist (C.P.H.)
This title is for those who intend to or are practicing hypnosis professionally and are already an ICBCH Certified Hypnotist. Requirements for this level of certification include completion of our basic 20-hour certification program, plus an additional 30 hours of ICBCH approved training. Members of the ICBCH who are certified by another professional organization with substantially similar training requirements may apply for CPH status through reciprocity.
Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist (C.C.H.)
In most states the practice of "therapy" or use of the word "therapy" is legally reserved for those with licensure or certification in a mental health or medical related discipline. The ICBCH will award status as a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist only to those who are certified or licensed by a state or recognized national board in healthcare, medical or mental health professions. ICBCH members who complete our 20-hour homestudy or live certification and are licensed or certified by an acceptable organization or state licensing board will be designated as Certified Clinical Hypnotherapists.
ICBCH Diplomate Status
Diplomate status is reserved for those who are ICBCH certified as Clinical Hypnotherapists (CCH) or Professional Hypnotists (CPH) and complete 100 hours of hypnosis instruction through the ICBCH or another recognized provider.
