Students to practice accredited hypnotherapy courseWhat is hypnotherapy

Hypnotherapy is a therapeutic technique that uses hypnosis to address psychological, emotional and sometimes physical problems.
Hypnotherapy uses hypnosis. Hypnosis itself is a state of deep relaxation and focused attention, where awareness shifts from the analytical to the feeling and the subconscious emerges more strongly. In this state, the person is more open to suggestions and changes, which can help treat various conditions and achieve personal goals.

Recognize an accredited hypnotherapy training program

Recognizing an accredited hypnotherapy training program is essential to ensure that you receive a quality education.
There are some important criteria that an accredited training program must meet.
First, the training must be accredited by a reliable and recognized professional organization, such as the KTNO, GATregisteropleidingen or the NVBH.
Our training courses are recognized by all of these professional organizations.
In addition, we have a quality seal of approval from the Dutch Council for Training and Education (NRTO).
If you want to know more about the NRTO, read on here.
It is also important to look at the qualifications and experience of the instructors.
A recognized training is given by experienced hypnotherapists who not only have theoretical knowledge, but also extensive practical experience.
This ensures that you not only gain the necessary knowledge, but also develop practical skills.

Another hallmark of accredited training is a comprehensive and well-structured curriculum that includes both theoretical and practical training.
This curriculum should cover topics such as hypnosis techniques, therapeutic skills, ethics, what to do in case of abreactions and client counseling.

Finally, accredited training programs often offer support in many ways in the form of an exchange platform, specialty training and telephone support.
At HypnoseMentor, we pay close attention to these forms of support.

The duration of a hypnotherapy course

The length of an accredited hypnotherapy training program can vary depending on the intensity and level of training.
At HypnoseMentor, you can take an 8-day training course to become a hypnotherapist.
This short training is designed to teach all the key techniques in a relatively short time, allowing you to get started quickly with simple problem areas.
During the training you will learn what you can and cannot do as a hypnotherapist, and the professional association CATcollectief has accredited this training and considers it sufficient to start in the field.

Although this short course will get you started quickly, it is recommended that you also take a course in basic psychological knowledge according to the Plato model.
This will provide a broader base of knowledge that will come in handy in your practice.
For those who wish to work as a reimbursable therapist, it is possible to expand your training to 120 European credits through the CATcollective and its associated GAT registry courses.
This makes you eligible for reimbursement through insurance companies.
