Fall 2026 Hypnosis Certification Training with Peter Blum

Become certified in hypnosis through a comprehensive 100-hour training program offered through Coyote Institute, with optional additional certification through the National Guild of Hypnotists (NGH) with 8 days of training over four weekends.

Professional Hypnosis training is increasingly in demand. Those in health professions are finding the benefits of cross-training in complementary modalities.

Hypnosis, especially as practiced by the late Dr. Milton Erickson, M.D., and by those who followed in his footsteps, is a gentle and effective tool for changing behavioral programming on a deep level. A master of anecdotes and teaching tales, Erickson assisted clients and professionals with his artistry. His uncanny ability to heal with words drew international attention and acclaim.

In this intensive training, balancing lecture (20%), demonstration (30%) and hands-on drills (50%), you will learn the fundamentals of an Ericksonian approach to trance, and how to utilize it as a valuable adjunct to your existing skills.

Participants will explore:

    • Recognizing physiological signs of a trance state

    • Presuppositions of Ericksonian hypnosis and NLP

    • Establishing and building rapport

    • Overt and covert, verbal and non-verbal inductions

    • Smoking cessation, weight loss, and stress management

    • Indirect suggestion

    • Neurolinguistic Programming
