NLP Core Change Techniques for Hypnotherapists - Module One

A Practical and Interactive CPD with Lisa Williams Edgar

Would You Like to Use NLP More Confidently in Your Hypnotherapy Work?

Neuro-Linguistic Programming offers a wide range of practical and effective tools that can enrich hypnotherapy sessions and help clients create meaningful change.

But for many practitioners, NLP can sometimes feel like a huge subject, full of unfamiliar terminology and techniques that are difficult to know how to apply safely and confidently in everyday client work.

This practical and engaging workshop is designed to make NLP clear, accessible and immediately useful.

Join Lisa Williams Edgar for a warm, supportive and highly practical CPD exploring core NLP change techniques and how they can be integrated into Solution Focused and Integrative Hypnotherapy practice.

Whether you are completely new to NLP or would like to refresh and strengthen your existing skills, this training will help you understand the principles behind the techniques and how to apply them in a way that feels natural, ethical and effective.

What Will You Explore?

• A clear introduction to NLP and how it can support therapeutic change.

• Understanding representational systems and the importance of VAKOG.

• Building rapport and using pacing and leading more effectively.

• Working with well-formed outcomes and positive goal direction.

• Using Anchoring to strengthen helpful emotional states and resources.

• Exploring the Swish Pattern to interrupt unwanted responses and reinforce preferred ones.

• Understanding and using Submodalities to help clients shift the way they experience thoughts, memories and internal representations.

• Learning VK Dissociation as a useful approach for reducing the emotional intensity of difficult memories where appropriate.

• Exploring the New Behaviour Generator to support future-focused rehearsal and change.

• Thinking about how to adapt language and delivery to suit the client in front of you.

• Integrating these techniques into Solution Focused and Integrative Hypnotherapy in a practical and ethical way.

Practical Learning You Can Take Straight Into Sessions

This is not simply a theory-based introduction.

Throughout the day, Lisa will demonstrate techniques clearly and guide you through practical exercises so that you can begin to experience and understand the methods for yourself.

The emphasis is on helping you leave with tools you can use, rather than just ideas you have heard about.

You will have the opportunity to reflect on how the techniques may support your existing work, ask questions and develop greater confidence in using NLP in a way that feels congruent with your own therapeutic style.

Why Attend Module One?

Module One provides a strong practical foundation in core NLP change techniques.

It is suitable as a stand-alone CPD and is also the starting point for practitioners who may wish to continue on to Module Two: NLP Advanced Applications for Therapists.

If you have ever wanted NLP to feel simpler, clearer and more usable in everyday practice, this workshop is designed for you.
