In answer to a question that was emailed in to me... Questions, "I'm thinking about certification as a hypnotist but I'm not sure if my teacher would like it if I became a teacher down the road".
Personally, I could never recommend that you get certification training from any instructor or organization if they did not actually encourage students to become trainers "down the road". For our profession to grow this is necessary. That is why we consider it part of the career path in our certification courses.
Thank you Cal and Erika, at first I was thinking that this was going to be about "teaching" certification courses, but I was thrilled to realize that it was actually about that PLUS doing community classes about hypnosis. Erika has been doing some really great and interesting classes in her community! It is true that we learn so much when we prepare to present it to others. I am working on an upcoming class and I realized that I needed to brush up on some basics so that I can effectively explain a few important principles of hypnosis to my audience!
Thank you Brenda! And yes I'm glad you liked that twist to this episode - it's about the benefits of being a hypnosis educator in general and not just teaching certification courses. It makes you a better hypnotist, and be seen as an authority in your community.I learn so much from my clients and students, and having both is very rewarding and it helps to balance out the work I do.
Thank you Cal & Erika,
Like Brenda, I was thrilled to hear the twist as well. I am going to start putting myself out there to do some talks/teachings in my community now too.
I think I had lacked some confidence about content, but since doing 5-PATH training, I now feel competent & confident because of the underlying principles.
I was asked by my previous trainer to give a presentation recently on the 'intake interview' at one of our regular workshops. Of course I jumped at the opportunity with relish...spent considerable time preparing & was fascinated to realise that our training had not really given all that much credence to the pre-hypnosis talk (which as a 5-PATHer we know is critical to get the clients confidence). So of course I covered that in great detail in my presentation & it was well received by everyone. Afterwards, I was told by a few people I really should be a teacher. Now...that has got me thinking. ????
As for the email question you got Cal, I agree with your response completely. Human beings can have some funny beliefs sometimes can't they? It's the same as when some people get jealous of anothers happiness...as if they might miss out somehow, or there's only so much happiness available and there won't be enough left for them.
I grew up with parents who were restauranteurs and I always remember my dad saying about new restaurants opening close by that competition is great because it challenges him to be the best, cook better food, give better service...just excel! I have always had a good work ethic, working in the family business from childhood, but perhaps that attitude really was ingrained in me more than I realised.
