5 Path hypnosis is a different approach to hypnotherapy sessions. The elements that are involved such as direct suggestion, regression, parts work and forgiveness, are all familar to any well trained hypnotherapist. What makes 5 Path hypnosis stand out is the structure that this brings with it.

5 Path almost brings a set protocol akin to that used in CBT (although CBT is counselling and 5 Path is hypnosis). There are 5 phases to the hypnosis sessions. Yet 5 phases can be timed across less or more than 5 sessions.

The advantages of having a structure of phases to the hypnosis sessions is that the hypnotherapist then becomes more consistent with the sessions. One phase of 5 path naturally leads to another.

This gives the hypnotherapist confidence and this confidence helps to assure the client that the hypnotherapist has a plan for success.

5 Path hypnotists training is available to anyone worldwide as long as you have qualified as a hypnotherapist with any school.

As it is considered advanced hypnosis training, although you can attend a live class workshop you also have the option of training in 5 Path hypnosis via distance learning.

There are a set of 5 Path DVDs which allow you to watch class sessions and also their is video footage of a live a challenging client session.

To ensure that you have a good understaning of 5 Path there is an optional exam at the end of the course. This leads to certication as a 5 Path hypnotist.

It is only logical for certified hypnotists to base their hypnotherapy sessions on the approach they were trained in from their hypnosis training course.

After a period of gaining more experience and confidence, a hypnotherapist's approach to a hypnosis session can start to vary and move away from that oriiginal training structure.

It is possible that in asking 6 different hypnotherapists how they would tackle a certain client issue, that you would get 6 different answers.

Hypnotherapy is criticised in some quarters because of this perceived lack of consistency. Conversely, It could be argued that this is strength too, as it allows a hypnotherapist to be as unique as the clients and patients they treat.

Cal Banyan, a hypnotist based in California recognised that a structure for all hypnosis sessions could be beneficial for all concerned. He has authored a system and structure called 5 Path Hypnosis which provides a systematic and consistent approach to hypnosis sessions.

Both experienced and newly qualified hypnotherapists that take his 5 Path hypnosis certification course seem to concur with the aims of this training.

As 5 Path hypnosis is considered an advanced training for experienced hypnotherapists, it is not essential that you take live training.

The distance learning hypnosis option provides all the necessary information you require to build up your confidence to use the 5 Path approach. With 10 DVDs supplied Cal Banyan demonstrates with a client how to manage a 5 Path hypnosis session.

Live video footage is also shown of a class of trainee 5 pathers and Cal responding to their questions. Together with all the documentation and some effective hypnotice scripts, becoming a 5 Path hypnotherapist via the distance learning option and DVDs is a highly effective option.
