Tim Brunson DCH

Welcome to The International Hypnosis Research Institute Web site. Our intention is to provide quality information to clinicians and the general public concerning hypnosis, hypnotherapy, and other mind/body modalities. We intend to expand our coverage to include such topics as Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), energy psychology and medicine, and other related topics. While our intention is to provide quality information derived from valid sources, including peer reviewed literature concerning significant research, this site is not presented as a source of medical or psychological advice. Clinicians wishing to expand their scope of practice or protocols based upon presented information should perform due diligence prior to use. It is our sincere hope to stimulate interest in these topics and to contribute to the evolution of the science of hypnosis. -- Tim Brunson, PhD

Increase your Credentials with our Certifications

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 HypnosisTM 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 HypnosisTM 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.

HypnoSummit

While there are multiple hypnosis conferences all over the world, I want to tell you about one that is very different. Before you worry about gas prices or airfare I have great news to share: The HypnoSummit takes place in the comfort and convenience of your own living room. Online hypnosis and NLP education is finally a reality, with full interaction between the presenters and students.

Imagine what it would be like if you could sit at your computer and have a conversation about hypnosis with some of the biggest names in the industry? What if you could type a question in and have it answered, live, via video? The HypnoSummit conference is designed to have video lectures as well as live audio, video, and text chat to maximize communication, sharing and learning in a convenient, affordable format.

No Politics, no membership dues, no hidden fees. No airfare, no hotel room, no time away from your family. Just pure hypnosis and NLP education at your fingertips. In fact, you can watch every class whenever you want, as often as you want, for three full weeks after the live event is over. Finally, a conference that fits around your schedule! The HypnoSummit offers Continuing Education Units required by most international organizations.

This is an incredibly rare opportunity to interact and communicate live with some of the greatest minds in Hypnosis and NLP on the planet. Check out the list of speakers and see what I mean.

Before I forget: HypnoSummit is having a contest to see who can invite the most participants so please remember to put down "IHRI" as the person who invited you.

The Neurology of Suggestion Workshop

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.
