Online Lesson: Influencing with Integrity
Event Information
About this event
Hypnotherapists offer therapeutic assistance to people who need help. The act of asking for help involves vulnerability, and the hypnotist must always be mindful of their own influences, filters and biases, and the potential for unequal power dynamics to emerge within the therapeutic encounter.
While a person cannot be made to do something against their will in hypnosis, this does not mean that the opportunity for persuasion and influence is not present in the therapeutic encounter. It is our job to be mindful of this, and to regularly negotiate therapeutic goals that are in keeping with the clients' intentions.
Having an understanding of these issues is essential for the health and wellbeing of client and practitioner alike.
This lesson is suitable for hypnotherapy students and practitioners alike, and the content is essential learning for anyone who practices in helping or healing professions.
Live attendance at this online training represents 1 CPD point for practitioner members of the Australian Hypnotherapists' Association.

Organiser of Online Lesson: Influencing with Integrity
David Kennedy School has been providing training in hypnosis since 1987. Originally, our teacher was David himself, and we are fortunate to have comprehensive Course materials based on his life's work to teach from.
Katina Gleeson is our new teacher, chosen by David to succeed him. Drawing from her own experience in private practice (Katina is a Mental Health-accredited Social Worker, and practices as a Clinical Hypnotherapist) she provides our workshops with dynamic reinterpretations of David's lectures. She also draws from her own practical experience as an educator, and she is currently engaged as a teacher of Diploma of Counselling with a major Australian RTO.
We have always offered distance learning, supported by seminars and workshops. Our written, video and audio Study materials are being made available online and have been completely edited and re-imagined by Rachel Kennedy. Our workshops are in support of that training.
Experiential learning makes for great study outcomes! We all have strengths to draw from, and any further education should enhance us and utilise any skills we already have. We actively encourage our students to use any learning they acquire for personal development. The more we work on ourselves, the better we can help others.
It’s our hope that students of hypnosis develop an eclectic approach to their therapy, to draw from many sources, to seek and take advice from those with experience, and to learn from more than one teacher. This will help you serve your clients better.
WHY WE OFFER HYPNOSIS WORKSHOPS
To facilitate the opportunity for hypnotherapists and students of hypnosis to share time with like-minded people, and to learn from other practitioners.
To provide a space where therapists and studetns can debrief, ask questions from experienced teachers, and share ideas with colleagues or fellow-students.
OUR AIMS AND INTENTIONS FOR OUR PROFESSION:
To stay committed to, and encourage the teaching and practise of, traditional hypnotherapy as a modality of healing (and a profession) available to all who are called to it.
To nurture our professional community as a place of collaboration, support and encouragement, not competition.
To provide the opportunity for professionals and students to take part in group learning and sharing, free from unnecessary bureaucracy.
