For those of you who are looking for a certification option with an open inclusive community of hypnotists, the SOCIETY OF EXPERIENTIAL TRANCE has expanded over the past year and we have built an instructorship core of individuals who shine in their respective specialties and who represent a very diverse and exciting spectrum of hypnotists.
The SET is an inclusive open community of hypnotists with representatives from every corner of the hypnosis community. While other societies or organizations tend to focus on one or two areas of hypnotists, the SET endeavors to bring folks from as many hypnotic walks as possible together, sharing their views, ideas, and techniques. Hypnotherapists learning and sharing with entertainers and hobbyists. Rather than having a basic membership at the hypnotherapist level, the SET's basic membership is competence as Hypnotist with a number of specializations available beyond that, recognizing that hypnotherapy is indeed a backbone of the hypnosis community, many folks are interested in other applications, including stage and even recreational contexts which is why a variety of specializations beyond Hypnotist are available within the Society's training framework, to best suit the specific needs of the membership.
Certification in the SET is based upon competence demonstration. There are no written examinations. Rather instructors vette folks during live demonstrations of competence in particular skillsets related to specializations.
Previously certified or trained hypnotists will find that cross-certification is encouraged by the SET as diversity in training and experience and community is a goal for the Society. Previously experienced folks wishing to join need not take yet another training - although some instructors do occassionally offer intensive review courses intended for previously trained individuals. Those who are already competent in the required skills can opt out of coursework and become certified through live examination or even via video submissions of demonstrations of competence. Distance learning opportunities are also available in some subjects.
See the webpages at http://www.trancesociety.org for more information as well as the list of very dynamic and skilled individuals who make up the instructor core of the Society. Feel free to contact an instructor today and ask about training schedules or other certification options. Instructors represent diverse backgrounds, interests, and experiences are in a variety of locations throughout the world and as most instructors travel or offer distance certification options, opportunities are never further away than an email or a click on a webpage.
Members of the Hypnosis Technique Exchange yahoogroup will notice that the charter of inclusiveness and open community with a diverse and extremely mixed caring and supportive mindset of sharing and co-support of the Society of Experiential Trance is very resonant with the Exchange charter. Obviously, this is no accident as the the online community and the Society share a common inspiration. The Exchange is an open-resource online community for the Society and the Society is a real-world extention of the Exchange, while membership in the one has never been a requirement for membership in the other.
All the best,
Brian
