ALL STYLES (i.e. Ericksonian, Alchemical, Advanced Regression Therapy, etc.) of hypnotherapy breakdown to be a form of one, or a combination of both. Suggestion therapy is basically, saturating the mind with the right thinking to bring about behavior modification, i.e. stop smoking. Uncovering methods are for the discovering and healing of the subconscious "cause" of the problem. While this is a simplification, there are dozens and dozens of methods for accomplishing either category. And you simply won't be prepared to help people address all problems by attending a basic, brief and superficial training program that does NOT provide you with comprehensive instruction in both categories. (Any course less than 250 classroom hours of instruction just can't give you enough time to develop superior skills.)

Here's What Our Students Are Saying: "While there are several aspects of the Academy's training I consider superior, five aspects stand in particular. First, they teach solid and practical clinical skills, and then reinforce them with demonstrations and practice. Second, they teach material in multiple ways in order to support learning of students with different learning styles and backgrounds, and they are flexible in how they present concepts and techniques.

Third, they teach principles as well as techniques, which help students to apply what they learn in flexible and adaptable ways. Fourth, they support student learning with well organized written material in manuals that are continually being adjusted according to student responses and feedback. Fifth, they focus on the importance of practitioners living the principles and developing personally. In addition, the training is professional and is taught by instructors who are not only clinically accomplished, but who are also obviously committed to educational excellence. Because of the quality of training and because of the deeply enriching personal experiences students receive, I highly recommend the Hypnotherapy Academy of America for any lay person, health professional or mental health professional who wants to become an excellent hypnotherapist." Greg Freedman, MD, CCHt Director, Colorado Institute of Behavioral Medicine Boulder, Colorado. "After training at a school close to home, I realized I needed a lot more, so I researched hypnotherapy schools around the world and found the Hypnotherapy Academy. It was well worth it to go to the Hypnotherapy Academy for their entire training. Now I finally feel confident and know exactly what to do to help others. This hypnotherapy course is incredible! I am still amazed at the difference in the quality of training." Jeff Albrecht, Breckenridge, CO "I have studied in formal classroom settings, college, graduate school, and continuing education settings for the past 26 years. Never have I had a course that so finely integrated theory and practice. I am leaving the Academy with a greater confidence in my skills than I have from any other course I have ever had. Tim and the entire staff showed a compassion and concern for every student that is, in my experience, totally unparalleled." Linda Knight.

"Dear Tim,I must tell you that taking your classes THREE YEARS AGO was a life altering experience for me. I have attended many workshops for self-improvement, none of them have ever come close to giving me the benefits your

class did. I have so much MORE SELF-CONFIDENCE. Fears that I once carried have disappeared. If I find myself stressed out, I have the ability to relax anytime I want. This is not to mention the EXPERT TRAINING I received which gives me the tools to help others. I thank you so much for what you are doing. " Love and Blessings,Marjorie Taylor, Florida You Deserve High Quality Instruction "As a veteran educator, I have studied in and taught many, many classes.

The coaches supervised practice sessions for every technique. What a profoundly transformative experience for my own personal growth!

Hypnotherapy Goes Mainstream: It seems like every day a new study proving the efficacy of hypnotherapy appears in the media. Hospitals, Medical Clinics and Urgent Care facilities and are bringing medical hypnosis to their patients. Both Masters and Doctoral level counselors, psychologists and Social Workers and learning hypnosis to assist their clients. Lay people getting off the conventional corporate career track are becoming hypnotherapists because they want to make a difference in the world. Hypnotherapy has come a long way in the last thirty years. The demand for competent clinical hypnotherapists who have a broad base of knowledge and effective practical skills is growing by the day. Just last week a local physician called the school to arrange medical hypnosis sessions for a patient who has non-organic chronic headaches. To assist taking hypnotherapy into this new era of acceptance by the mainstream, hypnotherapy schools must increase their contact hours with students, improve the quality of their curriculum and update their teaching methods. Sure, in the 1980's and 90's a course with 150 or 200 hours of hypnotism training and the outdated "just watch me and learn" style seemed like enough, but in the 21st century with billions of dollars being spent annually on complementary therapies and

alternative medicine by intelligent, well-informed-consumers, a hypnotherapist lacking in-depth training just won't cut it. What's even worse are the hypnotism diploma mills that claim that a distance learning format or correspondence course prepares a person as a professional in the people-helping field. The Hypnotherapist most likely to meet the demands of this evolving climate is the one with the best education. Hypnotherapists skilled in advanced techniques simply help people reach goals quicker, solve problems with more ease and achieve greater degrees of personal growth by empowering them with self-help methodology. This saves the consumer money, time and effort while on their path to well being. Because we are committed to your future success as a hypnotherapist and hypnotherapy being one of the primary tools for helping people heal emotional and physical issues, we designed our hypnotherapy training course to present you with ample theoretical background, an actual training manual (1000+ pages) developed by master's level educational designers, live demonstration of the hypnotherapy methods, live video case histories of extraordinary sessions, hands-on practice with individual performance based coaching, dynamic classroom lectures and feedback sessions. The Hypnotherapy Academy of America focuses on in-depth instruction in the most effective hypnotherapy methods. This is why we are rapidly becoming the most sought after professional hypnotherapy certification program in the world. Most other schools provide a very limited training. Students may receive only a few hypnosis induction methods and therapeutic techniques. For example, only suggestion therapy and guided imagery and a handful of pre-structured scripts to follow. If you have been searching the web you've probably run across many so-called "hypnosis schools" with impressive sounding names, that are only three to six days in length, or only on-line or only train by correspondence. Since there is no federal regulation of hypnotherapy, we are left to self-regulation and "buyer beware." Hypnotherapy Defined Experts agree that hypnosis is simply a natural, altered state of mind where communication with the subconscious mind is facilitated. Hypnotherapy is the application of universally accepted self-discovery techniques and self-empowerment methods (during an altered stated of mind) that free you of fear-based programming and assumed limitations. This provides for an ongoing experience of your natural state of health, joy, abundance and love. Tim Simmerman Sierra's training program at the Hypnotherapy Academy of America, is considered an "advanced level course" from beginning to end.
