As you can see, there are many reasons you might want to do a hypnosis training course to enhance or transform different aspects of your life… or your mind. Or to use it in a more therapeutic setting to help heal other people.
Hypnosis is simply an altered state of consciousness that allows for direct communication with the unconscious mind, rather than the conscious mind.
This mind-state shift, from conscious to unconscious and back again, happens to everyone naturally all the time – you’re just usually not aware of it.
For example, when your mind drifts off as you watch the rain pour down the window. Or when you’re driving a very familiar journey – such as the office to your home – and you go into auto-pilot and don’t really remember the trip.
A hypnotist simply uses this natural mind-state change for a specific purpose, generally to help someone create a positive change in their life.
Although in stage hypnosis, it is usually done for fun and entertainment purposes – of course with the subject’s consent.
When a subject is intentionally put into hypnosis, they become highly responsive to the hypnotist's suggestions.
This is because hypnosis is able to bypass the critical part of the conscious mind and work directly with the unconscious mind, which is where deeply ingrained behaviors and beliefs are stored.
This is why hypnosis is very effective at treating negative beliefs, fears and phobias, as well as healing and improving performance.

Hypnosis training is for anyone who wants to use hypnosis to make positive changes to their life, or to the lives of others.
Given its fast and effective results, hypnotherapy is becoming a popular career choice and powerful form of trusted therapy.
Many life coaches, NLP practitioners and other types of therapists also learn hypnosis as a complementary healing modality.
And given its similarity to meditation, self-hypnosis has been becoming increasingly popular over recent years as it’s a highly effective tool for decision making, achieving goals and achieving deep relaxation.
Anyone can learn hypnosis, it isn’t magic, mind control or difficult to learn. Like any skill, it just requires training, persistence, patience and practice!
Hypnosis can manage and dissolve a huge variety of complex emotional and physical issues in a relatively short amount of time when compared to traditional forms of therapy, such as psychotherapy (which can take years).
Hypnosis can transform some issues in as little as one session, although it depends on the issue and also the person.
Here is a list of some of the most common issues that hypnosis can be used for:
To overcome a variety of addictions
And much more.
We have over 100 different online hypnosis training courses, as well as live hypnosis training events that take place in the U.S. and Europe each year.

How To Hypnotize Someone For The First Time: Discover The Simple Step-By-Step Guide To Inducing A Hypnotic Trance
I took the Power of Self Hypnosis program, and it helped me a lot to destroy my dirty goals.
I had used self hypnosis before but I'd not gotten consistent results.
The way that Igor explained the idea of a dirty goal and then presented the indirect suggestions mechanism to destroy it was revolutionary at the time, and I was totally amazed.
I still use that structure in my daily self hypnosis practice to get what I want.
Also I cannot say enough about the Mind Bending Language course.
It just blew me away.
I had no idea how to master the language aspect of hypnosis before it.
This course taught me a new way of understanding language, and I use it everywhere; in business and also in my hypnotherapy practice.
People have no idea what I do!
A few days ago, my friend was trying to drive us to a new place and could not remember the address.
I just used a mild MBL pattern (since she was driving and I did not want her to slip into trance!) and that was it!
She got the strength and clarity of mind that she needed and we got to the destination in less than 5 minutes!

My girlfriend once developed an embarrassing and painful attack of the hiccups while we were in the pub - so loud that everyone was looking!
I'd just finished learning the Non Awareness Set, so asked her how her hand was feeling, and then she would know how she wasn't going to hiccup any more - just ran her through a couple of loops and within two minutes she'd stopped hiccupping and her embarrassment had vanished, replaced with a massive smile!

While attending the Conversational Hypnosis Professional Hypnotherapy seminar (my first formal hypnosis training), I realized that I've always been capable of putting people into covert trances.
Now that I have that awareness, I can be more graceful in pulling people out of them.
Additionally, my experience as a novice hypnotist at that seminar was incredibly efficient.
I was on par with experienced hypnotists by day 2, and by the end of the week had performed dozens of inductions.

Using the approach to regression I learned from the Conversational Hypnosis Professional Hypnotherapy training, I've been able to help my friend overcome her overeating problem, which consecutively helped her to reduce her smoking habit too (which wasn't even the problem she wanted to help with in the beginning).

I am a college student in southwestern Indiana.
I have recently been listening to your Power of Conversational Hypnosis program.
I have noticed some dramatic changes in the way I interact with people.
I am enjoying making other people feel good with the techniques I have learned.
I have a greater sense of influence and feel like I have an edge in life.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

The Conversational Hypnosis Mastery DVD program helped me to be more confident in breaking people's resistance down and gave me the confidence in helping me use conversational hypnosis in my day to day life.
The Money In Your Mind program helped and taught me the importance of wealth and how to offer value to people every day.
It also taught me about debt and how to get out of debt. I found this really useful.
The Conversational Hypnosis Professional Hypnotherapy online course was excellent at helping me use trance without using scripts, and has helped me 'drop' people into hypnosis easier and I don't have to think so much about the language anymore.
It's all pretty natural now.
The Lifelong Success affirmations have made me feel more confident and happy in myself, and more relaxed around wealth as well.

The following letter from my ten-year-old daughter soon after I returned from the Long Beach Conversational Hypnosis Professional Hypnotherapy Certification is the most rewarding I have ever received.
For the best Daddy in the Universe...
Daddy!! !! !!
Dear Daddy, I can't tell you how grateful I am about you giving me a Happy Place.
It was the Happiest time of my Life!
I woke up smiling and I just couldn't stop!
Now whenever I'm sad or mad I can go to my happy place instead of just sitting around and being bored.
I know my happy place will always cheer me up whenever I'm not happy.
Your now very happy daughter.

I have many of Hypnosis Training Academy’s products because I can’t find anyone else that offers the same amount of value - that is why I keep buying more :)
I don't even know where to begin when it comes to sharing the techniques that I have learned.
My whole communication style has changed drastically over the years.
All of my relationships with people have become immensely stronger.
It’s funny how you notice life changing before your eyes as you implement these techniques in different ways.
Why, you might ask?
When you communicate efficiently, people can’t help but notice, and more opportunities come into life simply by the fact that people are "spellbound by your communication."
Igor has brought magic back into life for me and I can’t thank him enough for that.

I have spent the last six years developing myself.
I have tried everything out there: Goal Setting, Positive Thinking, Eastern Philosophy – I even took up Tai Chi.
But there were things still missing from my life.
It's ironic: as a Kiwi I'm naturally a friendly and chatty guy.
The problem is that I didn't used to "get" people.
Empathy to me was just a curious concept.
So I never had really "intimate" relationships.
Then I stumbled across Igor's course...
I learned loads of things.
The strange thing is that I could feel things happen in the back of my mind.
It was as though someone was lifting invisible barriers from my mind, leaving me feeling more free and easy.
The really crazy thing is what happened after...
I found that somehow I was getting much better rapport with people.
Work colleagues seemed to be nicer to me.
My friends seemed to be opening up to me more.
But the best thing is that I now have a great relationship with a beautiful, loving woman.
She's always telling me that I am one of the few people that actually "gets" her!

I have found the techniques learned from the Conversational Hypnosis program very helpful in working with disadvantaged teenagers.
Finding out their values and beliefs and helping reframe their stories from their current maladaptive views of a situation to a more healthy adaptive view filled with resources has enabled me to help teens find the root of their problems and resolve their crisis more quickly.
I absolutely love the NLP component of this hypnosis training, which I have not seen in other teachings on hypnosis.
I highly recommend the Conversational Hypnosis program and look forward to obtaining more products in the future. :)

I shouldn't brag about this but about 3 weeks ago I got out of a traffic ticket with a pattern interrupt.
I believe pattern interrupts are in the original Conversational Hypnosis set.
It was 3:35am and I was driving down a major freeway in Phoenix on Friday morning on my way to work.
I hold weird hours at the TV station.
I was going about 12 mph over the speed limit.
Out of the blue, lights are flashing and I pull over.
After checking my license, the officer asked me, "Mr. Brady, do you know how fast you were going back there?"
For some bizarre reason I figured at this time of night the officer must be going through the motions and really just trying to stay awake.
I reply without hesitation, "Honestly officer I was going about 77 or 78mph I know that it is a bit fast but aside from that I have to be at work at 3:45 and I needed to get gas.
Do you think gas is cheaper in Scottsdale or in Phoenix?"
"I could see the shift in his face and a glazed look appear."
Uh, well.
I'm not sure but I will be right back.
He went to his car for 2 minutes but of course felt like 10.
I was actually surprised how I delivered the line with total confidence and didn't think it would really help.
He came back to the car and said, You know Luke, you were very honest and honesty is very hard to come by these days.
I know you're just trying to get to work in a hurry so I will let you off with a warning.
Just please try and leave your house with plenty of time in the morning to go the speed limit.
Now I can't say for sure it was the pattern interrupt but I am willing to place money on it the way his face glazed over when I asked him a question.
I've bought three products so far, and they are all top notch.
The first product I purchased was the Conversational Hypnosis program.
This has helped me so much as a mother to communicate better with my daughter and teach her important life lessons!
That isn't why I purchased it, but it's sure a great side effect!
The product that has done the most for me personally so far is the The Money in Your Mind program.
I LOVE what I get out of this.
It's something I still use every day and have for about a year now.
This program has helped me really create a shift in how I am with money.
I struggled for years trying to "make it big" as an entrepreneur, yet always lost money, and couldn't figure out why.
With this training, I have been able to change some deep struggles in my relationship with money, and my business has improved dramatically.
It has happily spilled out into the rest of my life, too!
