I’ve been interested in hypnosis and hypnotherapy for several years now, and have engaged in enough study and practice to understand how to use it well. All this time, I have had a bit of NLP knowledge, which I’ve incorporated into hypnosis. My knowledge of NLP, or neuro-linguistic programming, mostly came from books, such as The Big Book of NLP by Vaknin, which I occasionally thumb through here and there (it really is a big book).

I am not sure why it has taken me so long to decide to get certified in NLP. I think part of the reason is that I wanted to make sure I was confident enough in my hypnotherapy skills, first. After recently reviewing my hypnotherapy training program from beginning to end, I finally felt prepared to take the next step of integrating even more information into my methods of therapy. Actually, “prepared” is an understatement. In truth, I felt a really intense thirst to learn more, which developed rather suddenly. It’s strange how that can happen to people; we can go for years and years being “sort of” interested in something, and then one day we wake up with a serious passion for it. “Fascinating,” as my NLP teacher would say.

I am about a quarter of the way done with my NLP Basic Practitioner certification training. After I take the test and receive my certificate, I plan to go for the NLP Master Practitioner certification training. Not just for the title, but because the human mind is just amazing to explore, and I fully believe in the validity and usefulness of NLP to enhance our lives. I am very excited about learning, these days; it almost feels like I am a child with a special key to a secret place that I’ve just entered, and I get to keep unlocking more and more doors.

And although I am confident in my skills as a hypnotist, there is always more to learn, and I can always get better. One of the things I love about the study of psychology is that there are always more discoveries to be made. Each human mind has its own unique set up, with all its various complexities. It seems that we are always unearthing new ways in which we can work with the mind in order to heal, learn, create, and succeed.

I am glad to share this exciting point in my life with visitors to my site. I hope that I am able to assist you and inspire you, as I believe each individual does for me, in some way or another.
