Hypno-EMDR – Practical Skills Workshop

At HypnoTC, inspired by the versatility and overall effectiveness of the standard EMDR Therapy process, we have created the new and ground-breaking therapy approach, Hypno-EMDR. Specifically designed for hypnotherapists, the use of tried-and-tested hypnotherapy techniques in conjunction with EMDR-inspired elements is a power-combo that creates significant and long-lasting changes.

The 3-stage Hypno-EMDR training programme

Hypno-EMDR training consists of three components:

A live online practical skills workshop (this course)
An online practitioner-level training course (coming in 2022)
An in-person master-practitioner training course (coming in 2023)

We will soon be launching our Hypno-EMDR online practitioner and in-person master-practitioner courses. In the meantime, the Hypno-EMDR practical skills workshop is a fantastic place to get started, and you’ll learn exactly how to apply Hypno-EMDR in your own hypnotherapy practice!

This highly interactive live-online training, is taught via Zoom. It will take you through the entire Hypno-EMDR protocol, from start to finish, as well as explaining how to adapt each element to suit a range of client needs, whether working online or in-person. Full use of Zoom breakout rooms enables this course to be highly practical. In addition, after the workshop, you will be able to engage in activities and discussions in the exclusive Hypno-EMDR Facebook group.
