Professional Course : Creative Hypnosis
There is so much to discover about the unconscious mind. Neuroscience is demonstrating that it does most of our thinking and is cleverer than we know: processing information, linking experiences, drawing inferences, determining emotional reactions, experimenting and making decisions, often outside conscious awareness. Creativity stems from this invisible processing power.
Hypnosis gives access to the internal world of the unconscious and enables us to tap into its non-linear creative processing directly.
Who benefits from this course
Coaches, trainers, marketing or insight managers, creative professionals, planners and market researchers will find this to be a transformational course.
Practical Experiential Learning
This 5-day certificated course is unique in that it focuses on two non-traditional applications of hypnosis:
- exploring unconscious thought-processing in order to understand better how decisions are made and behaviour is shaped
- accessing the unconscious resource of
creativity, inspiration and innovation.
Throughout this course, trainees put the principles into practice and thus, through direct experience, gain knowledge at an unconscious as well as a conscious level.
Explore unconscious thought processing
Hypnosis offers access to the processing of the unconscious mind. In trance, you can explore the neural web of associations, the imagery, memories and emotions that inform decision-making. Hypnosis is therefore a powerful tool for researchers who want to understand the thoughts behind the thoughts and the feelings behind those too. Qualitative researchers will find this course provides them with techniques to gain a new understanding of human attitudes, values, behaviour and expectations.
Lisa Morgan champions the use of trance as a research methodology. In this course she demonstrates and explains the techniques she uses to go deeper and to work with people so that they generate insights about their own processes and personal choices.
How people report the trance research experience
'I felt I could say anything and no-one was judging me. What I said did not have to be logical.'
'Things just kept coming out. I was on the ceiling - a pleasurable experience. Hadn't thought about those things at all.'
'I'd never have thought of that if you'd asked me straight.'
Access the unconscious as a source of creativity
The benefits of learning hypnosis are considerable for people who seek greater creativity in their work and want to find easier ways to achieve insight.
There is a commonly-held belief that creativity requires some sort of struggle and that the source of inspiration is elusive and mysterious.Yet history is full of stories that show that breakthrough was easy to achieve - through some sudden leap of imagination, symbolic dream, or idea that arrived fully fledged. Kekulé, for example, 'saw' the shape of the benzene molecule when he dreamt of a snake eating its tail; Samuel Taylor Coleridge wrote his poetry automatically, 'channeling the divine winds'.
These suggest that great ideas can be easy to come by. In fact, it is the power and sophistication of unconscious processing that enables us to make creative leaps. Hypnosis taps into this processing power directly and so gives easy access to this creative source,
This course gives you the skills to connect with the unconscious and to become familiar with its genius. Hypnosis breaks the frame of the old and reveals the new.
Useful hypnosis-based tools
The practice of hypnosis involves a number of skills that are useful in a wide range of applications. The course includes:
rapport building
the art of effective suggestions
questioning techniques to reveal the deep structure
trance induction and exploration
effective, non-contaminated visualisation and other projectives
future progression
resource identification and development
state recognition and state management
symbolic and metaphorical imagery
'eureka' methods to stimulate idea generation.
In addition, trainees learn how to manage the levels of trance and abreaction. The ethical dimension of working in trance will also be explained.
Learn how to work with others hypnotically
As well as developing your personal creativity on this course, you learn how to use creative hypnosis with others, so that they tap into their creative resources. You explore how to work with people on a one-to-one basis and gain plenty of practice at doing this. The training also covers hypnotic techniques for working with groups such as business teams in order to develop new ideas and strategies derived from unconscious insights. In this context, the use of hypnosis in the context of systematic brainstorming processes is explained

She became interested in exploring the power of the unconscious mind twenty years ago, when she created communication strategies for global advertising campaigns. Lisa first learnt hypnosis in the early 90s. She then studied creative problem solving at the University of New York 1996. This course is the result of a fusion of the techniques and skills of creative idea generation and trance.

Lisa is an exponent of trance as a methodology for qualitative research. In April 2012, she delivered a paper at the AQR/QRCA worldwide conference in Rome: 'Trance research - how to find out what people are really thinking'.
An author and regular public speaker on the power of the unconscious mind to shape our lives, Lisa has trained people in creative thinking in Europe and Asia, most notably in Japan and in the UK. She has run vision-based workshops all over the world, including the USA, China, India and of course in Britain.
