The Central Texas Society of Clinical Hypnosis invites you to join us for a hybrid training in hypnosis. The Level 1 Hypnosis Training Program is a comprehensive introduction to Psychological and Medical Hypnosis, designed for professionals in the psychotherapeutic and medical fields. This structured, incremental training, the first part of a series of workshops in the certification program for clinical hypnosis, supports the progressive development of clinical competence and practical skills in hypnosis and has been approved by the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis for 22 hours toward certification.
