Transpersonal psychology is a supracultural theory which claims that a person is more than a physical and psychological being and suggests that the spiritual essence is the basis of a human. (A. Shorrock, 2008)
Transpersonal counselling and hypnotherapy comprises a lot of different theories and techniques, always looking for common part in them and expanding the limits of each theory. It is the future direction of practical psychology, which combines psychology, medicine and philosophy. Since body and mind are connected with each other, it contains philosophical methodology, rather than a limited theoretical approach or a few therapy techniques.
Transpersonal counseling and hypnotherapy grants access to the areas that are out of reach for the human mind and gives us tools and techniques which allow us to discover and use the undiscovered potential hidden in all humans: inner wisdom and resources based on transcendental awareness. By connecting the science of psychology, art of philosophy and effectiveness of hypnosis, it is an innovative and effective therapeutic approach, which helps the client to look deeper from their current problems and understand their identity as a whole. This gives the therapy process a new psychological quality, which encourages the client to evaluate the different aspects of their life adequately and to find inner strength and creative ways to improve their lives with the help of a counsellor.
The theories and techniques need to be accustomed to a person, not the opposite.
Transpersonal counselling training needs to have a thorough and comprehensive practical learning process, which includes demonstrating, practising and analysing the skills and different approaches. Firstly, this kind of training needs to include all-round acquisition of psychotherapy theories and methods. Secondly, it needs to provide skills and abilities to use different psycho- and hypnotherapeutic techniques individually and creatively. International Transpersonal Psychology and Hypnotherapy Private school offers that kind of long-lasting and deepened educational program.
The goal of the school is to give its students a contemporary and professional theoretical-practical basis, which assures a transpersonal therapeutical direction, the therapist’s occupational professionalism and credibility.
The structure and methodology of the course is focused on improving the student’s and their close one’s ability to live a fulfilled life – increasing emotional wellbeing and adaptability, decreasing fatigue and stress, clarifying the meaning of life and getting better at finding solutions when you have a life crisis. The graduates of the course have a deeper sensitivity about the world, which is diversifying more and more culturally and religiously. During the course students will acquire theoretical-practical abilities and experiences, which help to explain why people behave in a certain way and they will create therapeutic dialogue in a way to always be capable of adapting to the client’s needs.
The effectiveness of the course is based on transforming the belief systems of the students – in individual human growth and development. The techniques are acquired in the process or the opposite – doing conscious self-therapy while practising the techniques.
The course is based on the following approach:
Hypnotherapy
Since all of our problems are irrational, illogical and created by our imagination, we also need our imagination to solve these problems. The best way to imagine things is to close your eyes, which is called hypnosis.
Hypnotherapy is a useful tool to make us more aware about ourselves, increasing awareness about what’s happening in our body here and now, what we feel, rather than focusing on what we don’t feel.
Hypnosis helps us to gain bigger awareness about ourselves and bring memories that have been suppressed, back to our consciousness. Through hypnosis we create a connection with our inner child and become aware about our subconscious motives, which in turn help us to make changes in our lives.
