Hypnotherapy can be used to bring relief to many diagnosed medical conditions and this is a very rewarding area of work. This training course will give you an insight into many physical health problems with which clients will seek your help. As hypnotherapists, we can't claim to cure or heal people, but we can support them through medical treatment. We can also teach them techniques to manage diagnosed pain, such as that caused by arthritis or migraine. Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a problem which many people experience and hypnotherapy is recommended by NICE (the National Institute of Health and Care Excellence) for the treatment of this painful, chronic condition. On our medical hypnotherapy training course you will learn about IBS and how hypnotherapy can help. You will also learn how hypnotherapy can be used to manage symptoms and to deal with psychological or emotional problems resulting from a client's health prognosis. We will teach you how to help your clients to feel more comfortable, positive and optimistic.

You'll learn the theory of hypnobirthing and how hypnosis can help women to have a non-medical birth. We'll give you an introduction to hypnosis for childbirth how you can support pregnant women and their birthing partners through hypnosis and self-hypnosis. This module also covers fears and phobias related to medical and dental treatment, such as dental phobia, white coat syndrome, fear of blood tests and other medical procedures.

As with all our training modules, you'll practise what you learn in class with your fellow students and you'll watch a number of live classroom and video demonstrations. We’ll teach you how and when you can use visualisation techniques with clients and what concerns hypnotherapy can help with. Professional and ethical considerations will be discussed in this module to ensure that you feel confident and understand the appropriate boundaries in your role as a hypnotherapist.

This intensive four-day hypnotherapy practitioner course will enable you to assist others in accepting and managing sensitive, physical and neurological conditions.
