What You Learn with Ann

What do you learn in Ann’s hypnotherapy training program? You learn about life. Life around you, life inside you. How it was meant to work, how it goes wrong, how it can heal. I learned to help others heal. More than that, I learned to heal myself.

You learn about others. How they learn to survive, how that ends up working for and against them, how they can learn to thrive and not just survive. You learn the same things about yourself.

You learn about the body. How it’s wired, how that wiring can get messed up, how it can be rewired.

You learn how humans begin life and how they grow. You learn about the many selves and parts in them. You learn to help each self and part, to laugh with them, cry with them, to just BE with them. You learn the same things for your own parts and selves.

You learn about pain and joy, grief and happiness, shame and pride. You learn about all our human emotions, where they begin, where they end, how one can be changed into another.

You learn about human connections. To yourself, to others, to the divine. You learn to clear and open channels for these connections. You learn to do this for others and for yourself.

You learn how to help others release the “issues in the tissues” and find their way to abundant life. You learn how others can help you do the same.

You learn that you are not alone, that your life is connected to others and to the Source. You learn how to strengthen those connections, in yourself and in others.

You learn by doing, not just by listening. You experience it with all your senses, not just five but six. You learn to guide others as you learn what it is to be guided yourself. You learn from your classmates and teachers as they also learn from you.

You learn that lives can change. You learn this about your own life as well as the lives of others. Places where they are stuck, where you are stuck, places that have been stuck for years, all can give way to new life, new learning, new interpretations.

You learn that change doesn’t have to take long. It can happen quickly, easily, instantly. Something inside can change ”in the twinkling of an eye.” This causes the trajectory of a life to change and settle into a new course of action.

You learn about human consciousness. Your own and that of others. You learn to grow in consciousness yourself as you help others do the same. You learn that about deep wisdom. Your own and that of others. You learn to access that wisdom, to trust it, and to let it guide your daily life.

You learn that Jesus was right. The answers are within. They are within you and within others. They are the gold hidden in plain sight. You learn to have “eyes to see” and “ears to hear.”
