You will then be automatically enrolled into the Daybreak Distance Hybrid program (no additional cost). Through the Distance program, you will be provided with easy access to videotaped recordings of all Phase 2 and Phase 3 class sessions (to be viewed at your own pace), along with regular webinar-based check-in meetings with faculty to ensure continued progress and momentum. You will be required to complete 3 case studies and two phone-based clinical consultations prior to certification (we allow up to 1 year for program completion, but most students complete all program requirements within 6-8 weeks, following their in-class training intensive).
Pre-Requisites
You must be a mental health or wellness counselling professional (or meet equivalency standards), and have adequate background training in counselling and motivational techniques.
What Makes This Training Unique
Trauma-Informed Clinical Focus
Tamarindo homework spot
Our training is highly specialized in the integration of clinical hypnotherapy within a trauma-informed therapy and wellness counselling framework. The program is exclusive to trained health and wellness counselling professionals. In this way, you are guaranteed to be training with peer colleagues in a dynamic and interactive group setting. We allow no more than 20 attendees, so that each student's unique clinical situations are addressed in a high quality small group experiential. Through the case studies and challenges/scenarios you bring from your own practice to this training, we offer in-depth, practical and "real-life" tools that you can use for immediate applications with clients.
The programming is unique in its blending of both classical and clinical styles of hypnosis, giving you a truly comprehensive knowledge base and solid foundation from which to draw upon in your depth work with diverse groups of clients.
Intensive and Experiential Approach
Our courses are experiential and practice-based. You won’t be wasting any time listening to boring lectures - it’s assumed you already did enough of that in your post-secondary training. Now, you’ll be asked to “hit the ground running” on incorporating hypnotherapy into the clinical work you already have training in and know exactly how to do!
Your Program Itinerary will include a great mix of intensive training and "down time" each day to rest on a hammock, take in a spa service on the beach, watch the monkeys, or explore the local area. We allot one retreat day as an optional group activity. Many attendees book their class-free day as a special excursion (eg: horseback riding, zip-lining, waterfall visiting). Special excursions can be arranged for an additional charge.
