In this course, you’ll learn self-hypnosis techniques grounded in both neuroscience and Jungian psychology. You will be guided in discovering your unique hypnotic learning style and how to work with the imaginal realm where dreams, symbols, and archetypal figures live.
Each 90-minute module includes teaching, Q&A, and guided practice, so you leave every session with a technique you can use immediately. You’ll learn to create your own trance states, work with inner imagery (safe places, wise guides, symbolic figures), and apply hypnosis to everyday challenges like sleep and stress, as well as deeper work with dreams, symbols, and life transitions.
The course covers the history and myths of hypnosis, various induction techniques, nervous system regulation, imagery work, symbol amplification, and how to build a sustainable self-hypnosis practice. Whether you’re exploring this for personal growth or to deepen your professional work with clients, you’ll develop practical skills for intentional, embodied relationship with the unconscious.
By the end, you’ll have practical tools to work with your psyche intentionally, creating space for rest, insight, and deeper self-knowledge.
Ethical considerations, contraindications, and scope of practice boundaries are addressed throughout, particularly in relation to using hypnosis and imagery based techniques. Participants will learn to recognize when self hypnosis and imaginal practices are appropriate for personal use, when and how elements of this work may be adapted within their professional scope of practice, and when referral, consultation, or additional training is indicated. Designed for post-doctoral mental health professionals, this course builds on foundational psychological training by emphasizing clinical application, professional judgment, and ethical integration of hypnotic approaches.
