Calgary Counselling Centre brings Dr. Michael Yapko to Calgary for Hypnosis Training
Dr. Michael Yapko is coming to Canada for the first time ever to teach Hypnosis Training. Calgary Counselling Centre is thrilled to bring the internationally known expert, Dr. Michael D. Yapko, to Calgary for training. For the first time ever in Canada, Dr. Yapko is coming to teach his 100 hour comprehensive hypnosis training to practitioners in Calgary, starting in April, 2012.
“This training is a coup for the Centre to offer,” says Dianna Campbell-Smith, Director of Counselling Initiatives at Calgary Counselling Centre. “Dr. Yapko is changing the way we look at depression. He is one of the leaders in the world for depression research and treatment. His treatment – and particularly his hypnosis treatment – is ground-breaking. He is making the whole industry change their predictions about treating depression successfully, without the use of medication.”
This is a very practical course, which takes place in three phases. Its emphasis is on helping clinicians learn the skills and develop the skills, with a particular emphasis on using the skills for depression treatment. Each session has a designed two month break, where people go back to their practice and use what they’ve learned with clients.
Phase one – Foundation of Hypnosis: Concepts and Basic Methods - clinicians are exposed to the concept of hypnosis and the “nuts and bolts” of using hypnosis in practice.
Phase two – Applying Hypnosis in Psychotherapy: Developing a Goal-Orientation – this intermediate training takes the initial skills and aims to evolve the practitioner to the next level of hypnosis treatment.The session covers client receptivity and strategically using hypnosis in treatment to learn the artistry in performing hypnosis in psychotherapy.
Phase three – Expanding Clinical Approaches: Developing Deeper Clinical Focus – this final week of training focuses on very specific treatment, using hypnosis.
Each phase is filled with very concrete, skill building exercises. The focus of the course is to not only learn hypnosis, but to do hypnosis well.
