Erickson and his foundation believed, and still believe that only physicians, dentists and psychologists should be allowed to use hypnosis. The Ericksonian Foundation will not let anyone who's not a licensed member of those professions join the society, attend their meetings, buy or borrow audio tapes from their extensive library, or even publicly practice hypnosis.
Erickson believed that the techniques he discovered and refined were “too powerful” to be in the hands of the ordinary layman”.
The Hypnosis Home Study Course powerfully breaks the embargo on these techniques that the Ericksonian Foundation wants to keep hidden.
Nothing has been left out.
You get the same instructional format that Igor uses for his hyper-expensive personal lessons and seminars … with the added advantage that you have it recorded … so that you can “rewind” and go over any part you like until it becomes second nature!
Your home study course also includes a manual with references to every essential pattern, technique, exercise and hypnotic suggestion required to command the respect and compliance of your subjects.
Your instruction manual (including transcripts of all 12 sessions) gives even more detailed information about your new powers of persuasion … so you'll always have an easy reference right at your fingertips!
You can read this manual at work, before sales calls, or use it to “brush up” before an important meeting.
