Important Information:

1. The medium of instruction is English, so fluency in the language is important.
2. Our classes in Clinical Hypnotherapy are held both online and offline and in hybrid mode. However, please note that Levels 3 & 4 will be completely offline in Gurgaon.
3. Every Level has its own certification, which is preceded by a Written test.
4. Online classes will be via the Zoom app.
5. Students will be provided with separate study material for each level, along with a Suggested Book Reading list to enrich their studies. For online students, PDF files will be sent in advance.
6. Self-study, course work and case studies are imperative for progress through the Levels. Practice sessions have been integrated into the Training program, and are done under the Instructor’s observation and guidance.
7. Duration: The Training Program is spread over 4-5 months, depending on the learning pace of each batch. Adequate gap between levels is essential for practice, learning and developing confidence. Levels that are longer than 2 days are split over subsequent weekends to facilitate proper learning.
8. Faculty might add additional days if they feel the need for a certain batch or practical sessions.
9. Most of our students are working professionals, thus our classes are held mostly over the weekends. However proper commitment and sincerity to the Course work is expected from all students. Failing to do so, they will not be allowed to move forward to the next level. The decision of the faculty would be final in this regard.
10. Fees are mentioned with each Level. Fees are to be deposited before the commencement of every Level. Fees are non-refundable and non-transferable under any circumstance. 
11. In case of any indiscipline, misconduct in class or outside, or incompetent course work by the student, the Faculty and Directors of IJSS hold full right to take suitable disciplinary actions and expel any student from the course. In such a case, no refund of the course fees will be provided and the decision of IJSS will be final.
12. Quorum: Each batch shall have a quorum of 5 participants. (Maximum batch size is 8 participants.) This we would know a week before a batch begins, as we close enrolments. Nevertheless, if you have paid the fees, and your batch commencement dates are postponed, you will duly be informed about the next dates.
13. Outstation students who fly in for their classes, should make their own stay arrangements. There are some good guesthouses and hotels in the vicinity. However, check individual reviews carefully, before booking.
14. For students in different time zones: Standard Timings are 11 am – 6/ 6:30 pm IST, and remain fixed.  If we have 5 or more students in a time zone, we can create a special batch and do classes of short duration like 3-4 hours each to help them learn. As we have done for US, and EU participants in some training.
15. Are you ready to grow? We prefer students, who are willing to work on themselves and grow through the duration of the course. This gives them the requisite humility to serve and the right aptitude towards the ever-evolving art and science of Hypnotherapy. A healed therapist is far better than a Wounded one. Mere intellectual knowledge without doing actual trauma and healing work, will remain a handicap as you would get triggered often. That’s why contraindications of this course are any kind of severe mental illness, like Bipolar, Schizophrenia etc and severe PTSD symptoms. 
16. To maintain the quality of each batch, we have a selective intake, and we recommend you enrol well before commencement. Mail us your profile at innerjourneys11@gmail.com (info@innerjourneys.life), with a recent photograph. Also, mention the reasons you want to become a Hypnotherapist. Directors reserve the right to reject any application.
17. Fresh batches start every 4-5 months, enrol in advance!

TESTIMONIALS

1. “I completed all four levels of Hypnotherapy practice from Inner Journeys under the tutelage of Mr Abhishek Joshi this year in February. Abhishek sir has a unique, gentle yet firm approach in his classes. What’s fascinating is the myriads of real-life examples he can supplement along with the lessons. Owing to over a decade’s worth of experience in hypnotherapy and past life regression therapy, he is never short of sharing the practical nitty-gritty of therapy.

What I particularly liked was his dedication towards each student’s learning. More often than not, we were given more than the scheduled time of the class to ensure we gauged the subject matter accurately.

His classes were a satisfying mix of theory, practicals, discussions and Q&A from the students. I loved how he was able to patiently deal with each student’s questions which sometimes even veneered off-topic yet linking them adroitly to the subject matter of hypnotherapy.

I have already started applying the tools of hypnotherapy in my practice to good effect. And even now, Mr Abhishek Joshi is available for guidance and assistance in the topics learned in hypnotherapy. I’m glad I could study under his guidance and wholeheartedly recommend his classes and even his therapies to anyone who chooses to seek.”

– Kushagra Singh

3. “I was a part of the Clinical Hypnotherapy training through Inner Journeys and all I can say is that it was a life-changing experience for me. Not only did I learn a lot about human behaviour and mental health but also learnt how to effectively deal with day-to-day life issues and also help others to recover from some serious challenges in life.

My entire learning, life-changing experience and this amazing journey are all because of one man Abhishek Joshi. Abhishek sir has been completely supportive, loving, caring and an incredible mentor. He is always willing to give his time to help clear our queries and also guides us in the right direction while enabling us to take all the actions for our clients.

During all the levels of training, he was an amazing facilitator. He was super patient and always respected the participants while keeping a focus on the learning/ topic at hand. I have 14 years of experience in the training field and have been a corporate trainer as well as have been the head of training in a few of the biggest MNCs in India. Hence, I can say with a lot of confidence that he is perhaps one of the best trainers in India at the moment for Clinical hypnotherapy.

I am utterly grateful to Abhishek sir for all the learning and never-ending support. 🙂

Thanks for everything you do for us.”

What is Hypnosis?

Hypnosis is a state of focused awareness, reduced peripheral awareness and enhanced capacity to respond to suggestions. It is in effect a waking state of awareness, (or consciousness), in which a person’s attention is detached from his or her immediate environment and is absorbed by inner experiences such as feelings, cognition and imagery. It could also be seen as a meditative state, 

A hypnotherapist helps people enter a state of hypnosis, through a process known as Hypnotic Induction. Actually, we take ourselves into a hypnotic trance, thus in effect all hypnosis becomes self-hypnosis. The use of hypnosis for therapeutic purposes is called Hypnotherapy. It is one of the oldest forms of psychotherapy.

In 1958, Hypnosis was recognized by the American Medical Association (AMA). In India, Hypnotherapy is not a regulated field by a Government body. However, the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Government of India, in its letter no.R.14015/25/96-U&H(R) (Pt.) dated 25 November 2003, has stated that hypnotherapy is a recommended mode of therapy in India, to be practised only by appropriately trained personnel.
