Four live online masterclasses with Dr. Richard Nongard — one of the most recognized names in professional hypnosis education.

These are not introductory lectures. They are not reviews of what you already know. Each session is a focused deep-dive into a specific set of techniques drawn from the research and refined through decades of clinical practice. You will leave every class with skills you can use the next day.

Can't make a live date? No problem. Every session is recorded, and you will have full 24/7 access to the recording the day after each event. Watch on your schedule. Rewatch as many times as you wish.

Each class runs about 90 minutes. 

Each session comes with an official ICBCH Certificate of Completion so you can document your continuing professional education and demonstrate your commitment to clinical excellence.

Most people think hypnosis requires a reclining chair, closed eyes, and a formal countdown. It doesn't. You will master pacing, leading, and embedded suggestion inside ordinary conversation so you can work with clients anywhere, meet resistance before it forms, and create profound therapeutic movement without ever announcing what you are doing. Drawing on Erickson's covert methods and the street hypnosis tradition, this is the skill that separates technicians from true practitioners.

Everyone knows the Dave Elman induction. Almost nobody knows this one. Long before the rapid induction that bears his name became the standard in clinical hypnosis training, Elman was developing a sophisticated approach built entirely around the psychology of expectancy, using the client's own anticipation, belief, and readiness as the primary mechanism for producing deep trance. You will learn how Elman understood expectancy as a therapeutic force in its own right so you can begin building trance before you ever give a formal suggestion, work with clients who resist traditional approaches, and understand the psychological foundation that makes every induction you already use either succeed or fail.

Your voice gets most of the credit but your body is doing half the work. If you are doing online sessions — and most hypnotists are — mastering nonverbal communication is not optional, it is the difference between a session that feels electric and one that feels flat. You will develop command of tone, rhythm, silence, proximity, and physical positioning so you can communicate trance permission before a single suggestion is spoken. Clients respond to what they feel as much as what they hear, and this session trains the nonverbal fluency that makes everything else you do land harder and faster whether you are in the room with your client or working with them through a screen.

The imagination is not decoration, it is a diagnostic instrument. You will learn to guide clients through hypnagogic imagery and directed reverie states so you can access material that direct questioning never reaches, surface unconscious patterns through symbol and story, and use the methods of Desoille and Leuner to turn a client's inner imagery into a precise and flexible therapeutic tool.
