One of the most valuable skills a hypnotherapist can develop is knowing how to guide the depth of trance with intention.

Depth is not a fixed state. It can shift throughout a session, and effective client work often depends on knowing when to deepen, lighten, raise, or adjust the hypnotic state to match the purpose of the moment.

Join us for Controlling The Depths of the Hypnotic Trance with presenter Gary Josephson, Clinical Master Hypnotherapist.
