ABOUT
TRANSPERSONAL HYPNOTHERAPY INSTITUTE
®
Hypnosis and hypnotherapy school offering home study training
for career education, professional certification and spiritual growth.
Message From The Directors
These professional home study trainings utilize psychology, hypnotherapy, spiritual
techniques. Transpersonal Hypnotherapy is brief therapy with long lasting results.
Thank you for your interest in the certification and educational programs
of the Transpersonal Hypnotherapy Institute.™ We are dedicated to your
personal and professional development, success and transformation.

Transpersonal Hypnotherapy is brief therapy with long lasting results. Since
most insurance companies have stopped paying for long-term psycho-
therapy, clients are looking for results in a few sessions. They are asking for
Transpersonal Hypnotherapy, and psychotherapists are adding this education to their practice.

The curriculum of THI is based in Transpersonal Psychology, and it utilizes powerful psychotherapy,
hypnotherapy and spiritual techniques. You learn a variety of methods so you can easily determine
each client's particular needs and apply the most appropriate technique. This means you can have satisfied clients who realize
dramatic results.
The trainings of THI are based in home study, a format which is being used by universities nationwide (distance learning
programs, distance education, independent study, correspondence courses). You can actually learn and retain more when you
have the ability to rewind and re-watch professionally recorded trainings from the comfort of your home.
The training DVDs are extremely detailed and edited. They include professional demonstrations and discussions. Follow
along in the workbooks which include outlines of the demonstrations, review questions and exercises.
During the trainings there are also hypnotherapy practice sessions. During the Transpersonal Hypnotherapy course for the
Hypnotherapist Certificate, we personally review recordings of your practice sessions and give you professional feedback.
You can practice with friends, family and co-workers and give multiple sessions to one person. It can be amazing how many
people request sessions when they hear you are in a hypnotherapy training. Plus their "real life" feedback can be objective
and unbiased and a valuable addition to the professional feedback you receive.
You receive unlimited fax and e-mail support throughout your training. You may also call for assistance. We want you to
achieve your goals.

"THI has been an extraordinary experience for me. Not only is the substance of the work
profound and transforming, but also the integration of Psychology, myth, ritual, cer-
emony, spirituality and practical guidance has been educational, stimulating and moving.
THI provides an expansive educational opportunity."
- Jolie Ann Bales, Esq. (Attorney)

History & Philosophy
THI is a recognized leader in hypnotherapy education.
On campus trainings became home study classes to meet the needs of busy life styles today.
The Transpersonal Hypnotherapy Institute™ was founded in 1990 by Anne Salisbury, PhD, MA, MBA, NLP, CCHt after
completing her MA in Transpersonal Psychology and making an extensive study of hypnotherapy. Over the next few years
she and Yukio Hasegawa, MA, NLP, CCHt co-developed the system which is known today as Transpersonal Hypnotherapy.
Trainings were offered on-campus in Arizona, Colorado and Hawaii throughout the '90s. Thousands of certifications were
awarded to individuals who came to study from around the globe. Then in 1996 home study programs were introduced, utiliz-
ing the professional videotaping of live classes. Because of its effectiveness, all programs are home study today.

Transpersonal Hypnotherapy is holistic, synthesizing Transpersonal Psychology with Ericksonian Hypnosis, Neuro-linguistic
Programming (NLP), Alchemical Hypnotherapy and other proven schools of thought. As with Transpersonal Psychology,
Transpersonal Hypnotherapy recognizes our drive toward wholeness, toward a fuller intuitive experience of spirit.
THI is a recognized leader in the field of hypnotherapy education, and its curriculum is approved and regulated by the Colo-
rado Department of Higher Education, Division of Private Occupational Schools. THI holds the trademark for the name, the
Transpersonal Hypnotherapy Institute™ and copyrights for the many written and recorded materials.
"As a University teacher of Transpersonal Psychology, I was concerned that students
were not getting direct experience of conceptual materials. So, in THI trainings, I am ex-
cited to see students utilize Transpersonal material in hands-on processes without years
and years of study. These are tools for mastery. They can be practiced easily and widely."
- Dominie A. Cappadonna, Ph.D., former Professor of Transpersonal Psychology, John F.
Kennedy University, California Institute of Integral Studies & San Francisco State

Transpersonal Hypnotherapy Described
Transpersonal Hypnotherapy is based in Transpersonal Psychology. Through these home study train-
ings, learn how to facilitate inner journeys and help clients wake-up to who they truly are.
Transpersonal Hypnotherapy is a natural extension of Transpersonal Psychology which incorporates the methods of all four
waves of psychology (1. Psychoanalytic, 2. Behavioral, 3. Humanistic and 4. Transpersonal). This basis assists you in becom-
ing a well rounded, competent hypnotherapist with a wider perspective. It gives you broader choices which empower your
clients and you. THI is unique in including hypnotherapy techniques for issues addressed in waves three and four.
1. The first wave, Psychoanalytic theory developed by Freud and then Jung, deals with the unconscious mind and underly-
ing issues. In hypnosis, this is called hypnoanalysis: we examine the root causes of our problems.

2. The second wave, Behavioral Psychology, uses environmental modifications to alter our habits. In traditional hypnosis
this is giving a direct suggestion to be different, reinforcing the new behavior and then expecting a change. Neuro-linguistic
Programming (NLP), which works to change the body’s neurology, has its roots in Behavioral Psychology.
3. The third wave, Humanistic Psychology, developed primarily by Abraham Maslow, acknowledges that our ultimate striv-
ing is for self-actualization: a healthy integration of body, mind and emotions. THI teaches various hypnotherapy and NLP
techniques which access personal mastery.

4. The fourth wave, Transpersonal Psychology, was also developed by Abraham Maslow. It states that we strive toward
self-transcendence and the realization of our spiritual potential. THI incorporates meditation with hypnotherapy to tap the
resources of the unconscious mind and connect with the source of all that is.
For example, in Transpersonal Hypnotherapy you work with issues (such as weight) from all four of these approaches:
1. Underlying issues. (Review, understand and relieve childhood wounds around weight.)
2. A habit to change. (Open the refrigerator less.)
3. Personal mastery. (Achieve physical, emotional and mental potential around weight issues.)
4. Spiritual potential. (Expand perspectives and wisdom. See choices and spiritual benefits.)
Transpersonal Hypnotherapy ultimately focuses on the fourth wave, spiritual potential, with the goal being to help clients
wake-up to who they truly are. You learn how to facilitate your clients' inner journeys and help them connect with their inner
wisdom and intuition.
ABOUT HOME STUDY

Home Study Format
Distance education, distance learning, at a distance training, correspondence course
and independent study are terms for hypnosis and hypnotherapy home study trainings.

books and CDs.

Hypnotherapist Certificate, we personally review audios of your practice sessions and give you professional feedback.
You can practice with friends, family and co-workers and give multiple sessions to one person. It can be amazing how many
people request sessions when they hear you are in a hypnotherapy training. The benefit of working with these people is that

ity and the content to be valuable and useful." - Thomas Davies, Retired Psychologist
The Truth About Distance Education
What is the truth about hypnosis and hypnotherapy
home study training, distance learning, correspondence courses?
How do on campus programs differ from distance education or home study trainings? As with anything else, hypnosis educa-
tion and hypnotherapy schools vary dramatically. Here are some misconceptions and facts:
Misconception: Hypnotherapy cannot be learned through home study.
Fact: You can learn hypnotherapy easily through THI's home study trainings which include:
• Quality DVDs of live trainings which include lectures, demonstrations, group discussions and zoom-in shots to
observe subtle shifts.
• Quality workbooks and materials designed by educational consultants.
• Multiple practice hypnotherapy sessions.
• Professional supervision and feedback on CDs of practice sessions from a trained staff member.
• Unlimited fax, e-mail and phone support.
Misconception: Live classroom training is better than DVDs of live classroom training.
Fact: You will find that DVDs of live classroom trainings can often times be better.
• In a live class the teacher can have a bad day, you can have a bad day. There can be distractions. Discussions can
drift off into tangents. In DVD trainings taken from live classes the teacher can be well chosen, DVDs can be
edited for the best material and tangents can be edited out. You can choose to watch DVDs on good days.
• In a live class you can ask questions live. In a quality home study training, pertinent questions and answers are
included in the DVDs and you call-in or e-mail your questions.
• In a live class you practice hypnotherapy processes with fellow classmates. In a home study training you practice
with "real life" family, friends, co-workers and clients.
• In a live class you are given feedback by fellow students and possibly the teacher. In quality home study training
you receive professional feedback from a trained staff member via audio evaluation. You are also given potentially
more objective feedback by "real life" clients.
page 5 To enroll & order: 800-366-9417 www.TranspersonalHypnotherapy.com
Misconception: Hypnosis DVDs are all about the same.
Fact: Actually, you will find that hypnosis DVDs vary dramatically. THI utilizes videographers, mainly 2-camera shoots and
professional editing equipment.
Misconception: Hypnosis can be learned in a weekend or through book reports.
Fact: You can get an introduction to hypnosis in a weekend. You can also learn facts about hypnosis through books. But to
learn the practice of hypnosis and hypnotherapy you need quality DVDs and CDs of lectures, discussions and demonstrations.
You need practice sessions and quality feedback. THI gives you this and more.
Misconception: Receiving a diploma is better than a certificate.
Fact: Actually, certificates for Certified Hypnotist, Certified Hypnotherapist and Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist designa-
tions are more widely recognized than are diplomas in hypnosis. You receive these through THI.
Misconception: Hypnosis certificate titles relate to standardized hours training.
Fact: There are no standardized hours of study for certificate titles. Titles and hours are determined by individual schools and
associations.
"Having the THI videos for future viewing is better than attending a live workshop."
- Mary Isabella, LPC, CACIII (Psychotherapist)
"I am so glad that I can study at my own pace. Watching the videos and doing practice
sessions has been very stimulating for me. Learning and applying these skills to my daily
life has brought me harmony."
- Sonja Jackson, Homemaker

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
THI is an American hypnosis and hypnotherapy school
offering nationally and internationally recognized home study certification training.
About Hypnosis
"What is Hypnosis?" Hypnosis is a natural state of consciousness in which we are open to suggestions. It is similar to “zon-
ing out” while watching television or becoming absorbed in a novel. Our bodies are relaxed, our conscious "mind chatter” is
quieted and our attention is free to examine and reprogram thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that no longer serve us.
"What is Hypnotherapy?" Hypnotherapy utilizes hypnosis for therapy.
"How is Hypnotherapist defined?" According to the Federal Dictionary of Occupational Titles published by the United
States Department of Labor under Hypnotherapist 079.157.010 it is defined as follows: "Hypnotherapist induces hypnotic
state in client to increase motivation or alter behavior pattern through hypnosis. Consults with client to determine the nature
of problem. Prepares client to enter hypnotic states by explaining how hypnosis works and what client will experience. Tests
subjects to determine degree of physical and emotional suggestibility. Induces hypnotic state using techniques of hypnosis
based on interpretation of test results and analysis of client’s problem. May train client in self-hypnosis conditioning."
"How is Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP) defined?" According to the State of Colorado, Department of Regulatory
page 7 To enroll & order: 800-366-9417 www.TranspersonalHypnotherapy.com
Agencies, it is defined as: "a detailed operational model of the processes involved in human behavior and communication.
Although it is not itself a psychotherapy, NLP's principles can be used to understand and make changes in any realm of hu-
man experience and activity. NLP, however, has been applied to therapeutic concerns, and the result is a powerful, rapid, and
subtle technology for making extensive and lasting changes in human behavior and capacities. NLP deals with modifying and
redesigning thinking patterns, promoting flexibility and forging new capacities and abilities."
"How is Hypnotherapy legally recognized?" Hypnotherapy (hypnosis) is recognized as a legal stand-alone profession by
the US Department of Labor. It is listed in the Dictionary of Occupational Titles (079.157.010). The US Department of Edu-
cation lists "Hypnotherapy-hypnotherapist" (9CIP 2000, 51.3603) under instructional programs. The Office of Administrative
Law Judges Law Library lists "Hypnotherapist" as a "legal profession."
"What are the legal aspects of practicing hypnotherapy in my state?" According to the International Hypnosis Federa-
tion (IHF) there are no known formal licensure or educational requirement for hypnotherapists. Indiana requires in-state
training (check with Indiana Hypnotist Committee). New Jersey (1994 NJ Hypnosis Exemption Legislation) requires
hypnotherapists to call themselves "hypno-counselors" or "hypnotists;" avoid the words "depression" and "insomnia;" have a
doctor's referral to work with "mental or health disorders;" freely offer smoking cessation, weight management, study skills,
sports, creative activities. Colorado and Washington require unlicensed psychotherapists (hypnotherapists) to register with
the State Department of Regulatory Agencies (DORA), Mental Health Section. California (2003 CA Business & Professional
Code) requires clients of non-licensed practitioners to sign a Complementary & Alternative Health Care form. Some cities
require a business license. Students are encouraged to check with their state occupational licensing authority.
"How is hypnotherapy different from psychology?" Psychologists and psychiatrists can work with mental disorders and
hypnotherapists work with functional individuals who want to change behaviors and improve the quality of their lives.
"How is hypnotherapy different from meditation?" There are many styles of meditation, but the primary difference is the
intent. Meditation is used to develop concentration, to focus, to be centered, to relax and to empty our minds. The purpose of
traditional hypnotherapy is to reprogram the subconscious mind. The purpose of Transpersonal Hypnotherapy is to de-pro-
gram the subconscious mind to allow better access to the higher mind or the wisdom of intuition.
"How is Transpersonal Hypnotherapy different from traditional hypnosis?" In addition to reprogramming the subcon-
scious mind with the client's suggestions (which are given to the facilitating hypnotherapist during the session), Transpersonal
Hypnotherapy goes beyond the personality to access intuition or inner wisdom. The goal is to increase awareness around per-
sonal and societal programming. With increased awareness comes the personal choice to keep or reject these programs. Once
the choice is made to reject old programs, the undesirable patterns are de-programmed. This leads to the waking-up of spirit.
As stated in "A Course in Miracles," "What you think you are is a belief to be undone."
About The Course Work
"What is transpersonal about the training?" The term “transpersonal” comes from the Greek “trans,” which means be-
yond or through, and “persona,” which means mask. Transpersonal techniques make us aware of our spirit beyond our social
conditioning, our masks, to our spiritual selves.

"What client issues will I learn to work with?" Weight management, smoking cessation, phobias, habits, sports perfor-
mance, stress, educational improvement, management skills, selling skills, emotional health, physical health, sexual health,
grief and loss, relationship enhancement, personal growth and spiritual unfoldment.
"Will I learn the nuts and bolts?" Yes. You learn all the hypnotic techniques you will need in these courses.
"Is working with smoking and weight issues boring and repetitive?" No. But working solely with traditional hypnosis
techniques can be. With Transpersonal Hypnotherapy you have tools to move beyond the basic techniques of direct sugges-
tion and examining the root cause of a problem to the deeper spiritual motivating factors. This leads you on an exciting and
transformative journey with your client.
"Will I learn how to set up my hypnotherapy practice and attract clients?" Yes. Sections of "Transpersonal Hypnother-
apy" and all of "Marketing Your Hypnotherapy Practice" are dedicated to the success of your private practice. These courses
provide coaching on marketing so that you can reach the personal and financial success you desire.
