Hypnosis Through Nature®: outdoor therapy course
50% discount for Hypnotherapy Directory members, bringing the fee to £149.50
Hypnosis Through Nature® takes your work outdoors in a way that is so much more than just outdoor therapy. You will learn to bring in a core hypnotherapeutic skill of utilisation to use meaning, sensations and symbolism of the landscape to transform your practice and transform your clients’ experience. You’ll learn how to work with both individuals and groups. Receive a bonus Therapy Through Nature (TTN®) Certification for situations when you’d prefer to apply a more counselling or coaching approach.
The benefits of outdoor therapy are strongly supported by research. This is one of the fastest-growing areas in therapy, and the number of people who have experienced outdoor therapy has almost doubled since before the pandemic. Outdoor therapy is strongly supported by evidence that shows being outdoors can impact people at a cellular level, improve immune system function, and reduce stress and anxiety levels.
This course specifically draws on utilisation and provides clear guidelines about how to use your usual hypnotherapeutic skills – including inductions, ego-strengthening and post-hypnotic suggestions – in outdoor settings.
Only students who have undertaken this training can use the trademarked titles Hypnosis Through Nature® and TTN® (Therapy Through Nature), which is essential in marketing your services to both individuals and groups.
Our training programs are meticulously crafted to provide cutting-edge knowledge and practical skills that address the evolving needs of your clients. Whether you’re a seasoned practitioner or just starting your journey, the Academy’s courses are designed to ensure you stay ahead in the field of hypnotherapy.
You will receive everything you need to work confidently with your clients, including scripts, client handouts, risk assessments, resources, practitioner guides and a certificate which is externally accredited by the ACCPH and counts for 8 hours CPD.
