Tim Brunson, PhD, and Annie Brunson have created a new twenty module transformation program designed to install mastery-building techniques within the participant. The course is self-paced with one module released each Tuesday for the duration of the program. It includes exercises and demonstrations designed to progressively improve skills. While the intention is to teach how to quickly master anything, as the program progresses the student will steadily develop more and more abilities, which can then be applied to various aspects of their lives.

Over the past several years many of our members and readers have asked if they could certify through the Institute. Although some time ago we announced a specialty certification and an advanced certification (Certication Programs), traditionally we did not offer any opportunity to formally recognize a basic hypnotherapy practitioner certification. We have always accepted all of the credentials provided to us by our members. Also, providing a full spectrum of certifications was not part of our original plan. However, we now are full engaged with the community of clinical hypnotherapists and integrative health care providers. We must listen to the needs being expressed. Therefore, it is now time for a change.

Starting on Tuesday, April 21, 2010, we will initiate a new program, which will formally accept clinical hypnotherapist certifications issued by reputable nationwide or international clinical hypnotherapy-oriented organizations and associations. This will constitute an official recognition of such accomplishment by our members. Approved applicants will be considered as Certified Clinical Hypnotherapists and authorized to use CCHt credentials after their name.

This program is only available to Institute members. Others may join so that they can take advantage of the certification process. Existing members may apply for the CCHt credentials. The procedure is outlined on our certifications Web site.

In August 2009, the International Hypnosis Research Institute announced the availability of two new certifications. These are the Mind/Body Integration and Advanced Neuro-Noetic Hypnosis^TM certifications. Both are currently available only in a distance learning format. They are designed to help integrative health care professionals improve their ability to enhance client and patient healing. These certifications and their individual courses are intended to appeal to a wide range of professionals. These include medical doctors, dentists, nurses, social workers, psychologists, hypnotherapists, counselors, chiropractors, massage therapists, and others.

The Mind/Body Integration certification program covers theory that is based upon leading-edge research and provides participants with numerous demonstrations and exercises, which they are encouraged to begin using immediately. The intent is for students to appreciate the good evidence-based science foundation of the theories presented and quickly see results as techniques are applied to real cases. The program is based upon a realization that clinicians must have a high level of competence when communicating with the mind's of their patients. Therefore, this program relies on the most effective and proven ideas including direct suggestion, permissive methodologies, and advanced neurologically-based interventions. Even though the course is designed to accommodate experienced hypnotherapists, those with little or no experience with hypnosis and guided imagery will find how easy it is to apply the presented demonstrations. This certification includes 36 lessons organized in 4 courses.

The Advanced Neuro-Noetic Hypnosis^TM certification builds upon the skills presented in the four Mind/Body Integration courses. The focus of this certification is on developing clinical competency in three major areas, which includes performance enhancement, resolving mental pathologies, and improving physical healing. This certification concentrates on the student mastering advanced theory and effectively applying the lessons learned in real-life therapeutic settings. The program moves from concept to application, which includes improving session design. The uniqueness of the curriculum is that it applies rather advanced neurological and mind/body integration concepts to everyday clinical situations. This certification includes a total of 78 lessons organized into 12 courses. The 36 Mind/Body Integration courses are included in this program. Students who complete this program will receive both certifications.

Certification candidates enroll in individual courses. Upon completion of each course they are informed of their progress toward final certifications. Institute members receive a 25% discount off of the tuition for each course. Additionally, renewing members who have free course eligibility may take individual certification courses at no charge.

On Sunday, May 25, 2009, Dr. Tim Brunson will be offering The Neurology of Suggestion workshop for the first time. The workshop will occur between 2:00 and 5:45 p.m. at the annual conference of International Medical and Dental Hypotherapy Association in Daytona Beach, Florida.

Workshop Description:

The power of suggestion to influence the structure of our brain and body rests largely on our ability to orchestrate our mind with the capabilities of our neural system. This enlightening and entertaining workshop will give dedicated hypnotherapists a "layman's guide" to how the brain functions and provide valuable insights as to how hypnosis can be best sequenced to get maximum results – while avoiding the most common mistakes. Based upon recent advances in neurology, neurofeedback, energy modalities, and ancient Eastern concepts, you will quickly and easily master revolutionary concepts and acquire new skills which may be immediately incorporated into your practice. Students will also be introduced to Advanced Neuro-Noetic HypnosisTM , which is a comprehensive program of techniques based upon these principles. Participants will receive follow-on access to valuable written, audio, and video materials which will continue their training in this field.
