The Cognitive Hypnotic Psychotherapy Diploma is not only about taking home a framework or developing skills but also about undergoing the same transformation yourself that you would later help your clients experience!
That would be wonderful, wouldn’t it?
One of the most exciting aspects of Cognitive Hypnotic Psychotherapy training is the breakthroughs you experience as an individual.
During the training itself, you extensively practice what you learn with your co-participants, working on real goals and issues that you may be facing. This takes you through a series of personal breakthroughs that culminate in a transformation.
As a result, you are able to design your own pathway to a financially and emotionally fulfilling career as a therapist and learn to manage your own mental state – your thoughts, emotions, beliefs and more.
Your personal growth during training and mentoring enables you to help your clients transform their own lives, as you develop –
Clients may present with a large variety of problems when coming for psychotherapy. In psychotherapy, these are known as presenting problems and include clients’ perceived symptoms, emotional disturbances or difficult behaviours that lead them to seek therapy. Understanding the clients’ issues is important to help the client define goals and expectations, and for the therapist to design a therapy plan.
When you are training to be a Cognitive Hypnotic Psychotherapist, you not only learn to identify the symptoms the client presents with but also train to find the root cause (Secondary gains, beliefs, identity, past experiences), wherever applicable.
The clients do not come to you with a precisely defined problem or issue, rather a story of their lives. It is often difficult to filter out significant symptoms or issues in order to formulate a therapy plan for a specific client. The therapist should be able to cut through the clutter and objectively identify the key symptoms that are important to help the client reach the desired outcome.
The client’s problem may have several layers and broadly, the symptoms or surface issues or presenting problem and the root cause or the deeper issue. These layers may include lack of clarity, skills and resources, ongoing thoughts and emotions, beliefs, values, positive intentions or secondary gains, identity, suppressed emotions, past experiences and repressed memories. The therapist should be able to identify each layer and resolve the problem at the specific layers while ensuring that therapy remains a seamless experience for the client.
The client is able to truly create and sustain change, in other words, undergo a transformation when they can overcome the conscious as well as unconscious hindrances that stop them from creating changes.
These hindrances may include ongoing thoughts and emotions, beliefs, patterns of behaviour, secondary gains, past experiences, suppressed emotions and repressed memories.
Cognitive Hypnotic Psychotherapists can help clients restructure thoughts, release and replace emotions, develop skills, modify behaviours, change underlying beliefs, address secondary gains with harmless or productive behaviours, resolve trauma, work with repressed memories and reframe or re-imprint past experiences. They are not only able to help the client resolve all these but also do it in a manner that is sustainable and effortless, without creating an internal conflict.
Automatic thoughts can stop the client from doing a task or making the change in the direction of their desired outcome. Since these thoughts are automatic, the therapist should be able to help the client identify and replace these thoughts naturally and automatically, without confrontation or inner conflict.
Emotions are another source of unconscius hindrances. Effective therapy may require facilitating the release of suppressed emotions that may lead the client to a breakdown. In addition, there may be current emotions that may be stopping the client from making desired changes in their lives. A therapist should be able to help the client identify the emotion and replace it with an effective emotion that can support the change.
While thoughts and emotions can help the client develop a resourceful mental state to achieve the outcome, it is equally important for the client to be able to develop the skills required to take the necessary action towards their goals. The therapist should be able to help the client identify the skills they need and then access a resourceful mental state to develop those skills.
Sometimes, patterns of behaviour the client is stuck in are preventing the client form changing. In addition to resolving thoughts and emotions, the therapist should also be able to work with behaviours directly, disrupt unproductive patterns and install ones that are useful for the client.
Often referred to as limiting beliefs, underlying beliefs or rules may lead to hindering thoughts, emotions and behaviours that are creating a problem in the client’s life. These beliefs may show up in multiple behaviours or multiple areas of a client’s life. The therapeutic process should include diagnosing such beliefs and changing them into ones that will help the client reach the desired outcome.
Behind every behaviour is a positive intention, which may be conscious, but is usually hidden in the unconscious. Without fulfilling that positive intention or secondary gain with an alternate, harmless or productive behaviour, it is difficult to create sustainable change. And even if change happens, the likelihood of relapse is really high. To prevent relapse and to enable the client to change naturally and effortlessly, the therapist should be able to work with these secondary gains.
Past emotional trauma can show up as seemingly unrelated symptoms and problems in the client’s present life. In such cases, trauma resolution becomes extremely necessary to help the client get rid of the unnecessary emotional baggage and suppressed emotions, as well as move forward in life. However, an effective therapist should be able to do so swiftly, without exposing the client to the risk of reliving the trauma during the course of therapy.
When repressed memories are causing problems in the client’s life, it is vital to access and resolve repressed memories to relieve those symptoms. The Cognitive Hypnotic Psychotherapist can help the client access the memory, resolve the stored emotion, learn from the memory and move forward.
It’s usually not things, events and situations that create a problem in the client’s life, rather the perception of those events and situations. The therapist should be able to help the client reframe past experiences in order to move past Tham and start creating the life they want to live, unhindered by that past experience.
Once you have trained to develop advanced therapeutic skills, you have to build a therapy practice from scratch.
We know, we have been there!
Since each level of this course is complete in itself, we share a detailed, step-by-step strategy to help you set up your own practice and build a brand, right from the Practitioner’s Course (level 1)! This means you do not have to wait to complete your diploma to start building your brand.

All participants for the course can join our end to end year long fellowship program where we help you develop and implement additional skills required to set up a flourishing practice.
Cognitive Hypnotic Psychotherapy is a unifying approach to psychotherapy. To get more details and understand how we integrate different approaches together please check this out.
You can enroll for our Cognitive Hypnotic Coaching Course. The course helps you develop advanced coaching competencies to enable you to work as a Life Coach or a Relationship Coach.
The short answer, this course is not meant for them, there are other courses we have that will benefit them more.
The long answer is that while during the course, our focus is to ensure that the participants develop advanced coaching and therapeutic skills – skills that are powerful enough to transform lives.
One of the most important features of the course is the emphasis on practicing these skills, not only with others but also yourself. In other words, each participant personally experiences the transformation in his/her own life. This personal transformation makes them internalize the true essence of these skills as well as gives them the confidence to work with others.
So, “Yes”, participants do experience breakthroughs in their own lives and can definitely bring changes in their own life, yet we only encourage people who are looking at becoming practitioners themselves to join us for this program.
For a course to be highly effective, its format and style of delivery needs to be in sync with the end objective. The ideal course format and delivery style for a practitioner program is very different from a self help program.
So between reaching out to a larger audience and maintaining a higher degree of effectiveness for a more selected audience, we choose later.
We also noticed, that giving practitioners certificate to those who were looking for self-help is not a good idea. Once they receive the certificate, they feel motivated to practice, if only to recover what they have invested in the course.
But if they were not focused on working with others during classroom practice and training, they do not have the necessary skills to become a practitioner. At ICHARS, being responsible is one of our core values and hence we wouldn’t be comfortable encouraging such practice.
The course has been designed in a way that each level is divided in 3 parts:
Pre Level online modules focus on concepts and theory. Live training sessions focus on demonstrations, practice sessions and discussions. Post level online module include supporting material like forms, checklists and also recordings of techniques practiced during the classroom sessions.
Completing the pre-level online course is a prerequisite to attending the Live training session.
The post level recordings are provided so that you can continue to learn by observing these sessions and use them for reference before a session with client if required. Completing the same is recommended but not a requirement for attending the next level.
We provide our participants the flexibility to join for a batch different from the one they enrolled for provided we are informed at least a week before the starting date of the batch you had enrolled for. In case you have to make changes less than 7 days before the batch starts you can but you will need to pay additional venue charges for the next workshop.
There are different ways in which we support our participants:
Apart from the above in the coming months we are also planning:
We are also open for any other ideas with which we can help our participants. A lot of the above steps have been a result of suggestions from our existing participants.
All the certificate programs that focus on developing coaching or therapeutic skills are basically skill building programs. None of these courses be it Hypnosis, NLP, CBT, REBT, TA or CHP are regulated by any regulatory authority.
So all certificates are just that certificates. They do not have any legal validity… but that doesn’t make them illegal either. Whether you can legally use these skills or not depends on the area in which you are applying these skills.
So for example if you are promoting yourself as a life coach or a mind coach or a behavioural trainer and staying within the limits of what these people can do, you can freely use these skills as these titles do not have any legal restrictions. But if you are promoting yourself as a doctor or a psychologist or a psychiatrist and handling cases related to intense emotions or psychosomatic issues or mental disorders, then you must fulfil the educational prerequisites that are required to use these titles and work with these problems.
This is one of the key reasons why we have the eligibility criteria for level 3 and 4.
Short answer is No.
Long answer, the accreditation maybe there but most international organisation offering these accreditation’s are also private bodies. They don’t really have any statutory authority.

To be true it is unfair to even compare the Cognitive Hypnotic Psychotherapy Course with a standard Hypnosis and NLP training programs. There are multiple reasons for the same:
While ICHARS is primarily a training and development organisation, one of the key components of ICHARS mission is to connect effective mental health practitioners with those in need. From time to time we take up projects with different NGOs, Corporate houses to help them support the mental and behavioural health needs of people associated with them.
For each project that we take up, we offer our trained Alumni the opportunity to become a part of these projects to conduct group sessions and/or one-to-one sessions.
If you also wish to be an ICHARS Alumni and avail of these wonderful opportunities, join our upcoming orientation and learn about our courses by directly connecting with our trainers.
