Lesson 1 - The Fundamentals
Mike Mandel explains his neo-Ericksonian model of hypnosis and guides you through the first exercise to learn how to calibrate your subjects.

Lesson 2 - The Fundamentals (continued)
Mike dives straight into topics including calibration, congruence, rapport and the John Grinder model. You'll learn different models of hypnosis and you'll get your first leverage induction.

Lesson 3 - Ericksonian Principles.
The keys to Ericksonian hypnosis! Mike guides you through utilization and incorporation, artful vagueness, double binds, embedded commands and analog marking, yes sets, compliance sets and linkages.

Lesson 4 - Ericksonian Principles (continued)
Since Erickson's work is so fundamental to what we teach, we had to break the core material into two lessons. Learn how to be artfully vague with language, and how to build rapport and notice trance as it develops in your clients / subjects.

Lesson 5 - Power Language!
Learn what Mike Mandel refers to as "power language". These lessons will apply within and outside of hypnosis. You'll use power language in normal conversation, in pre-talk, or during hypnotic work. Just this lesson alone will give you life-changing results.

Lesson 6 - Impromptu Hypnosis
Mike Mandel takes you beyond Ericksonian hypnosis and introduces you to the basics of direct hypnosis based on suggestibility tests and the principles of heteroaction and homoaction (If you don't know these two terms you need this course!)

Lesson 7 - Hypnotic Metaphors Part I
This lesson introduces you to metaphor and the Milton Erickson handshake interrupt. It nicely bridges with what you learned in lesson 6 and gives you more conversational techniques.

Lesson 8 - Hypnotic Metaphors Part II
Nested loops: This is a highly effective conversational hypnosis technique many instructors don't understand and don't teach. We also give you the Kinesthetic Ambiguity rapid induction to continue building your toolbox of hypnotic inductions.

Lesson 9 -  Hypnotic Deepeners and Confusion
You'll learn how to amplify trance and how to use the Milton H. Erickson confusion principle. Mike teaches one particular confusion technique that he's never taught anybody until this academy. Bonus: We've included new language patterns for you to add to your toolbox.

Lesson 10 - Building Your Toolbox Part I
Building your toolbox! New suggestibility tests and direct-method inductions (and much more). At this point we're starting to blur the lines between Erickson's artfully vague language and we're soon going to shift into the direct, authoritative model of hypnosis.

Lesson 11 - Building Your Toolbox Part II
This lesson dives deeper into using the visual, auditory and kinesthetic (feeling) systems. We also cover anchoring, abreaction, nominalizations, and meeting client expectations. Learn about painted words. We also give you another hypnotic induction and deepening technique.

Lesson 12 - The Direct Method of Hypnosis
Now that you have a very firm grasp of Ericksonian methods, it's time to teach you the direct hypnosis paradigm for personal change. Mike teaches you a logical 7 step method that is easily learned, enabling you to deal with a wide variety of problems and issues.

Lesson 13 - Suggestions, Ideomotor and Confusion
We're really starting to weave together the direct and indirect paradigms of hypnosis now! Learn about hypnotic convincers in the Ericksonian paradigm, more on Ericksonian confusion principles, and how to use hypnosis to enhance memory. Also: Ideomotor signals and universal therapy.

Lesson 14 - More Inductions and Tips on Hypnotherapy
Learn more about ideomotor signals and subjective units of distress (SUDs). Discover the inner secrets to crafting suggestions or directions, and a learn a new induction technique. We also cover self hypnosis and how to hypnotize children.

Lesson 15 - Ericksonian Language Development and Getting Deeper Trances
Learn all about the language of trance and wakefulness. The Meta Model and the Milton Model. The power of Hinge Sentences, Pattern Interrupts, Anchoring, Fractionation, and much more!

Lesson 16 - The Dave Elman Induction
A deep dive into the famous and very powerful Dave Elman induction. People sell entire courses on this induction, which are of lesser quality than this lesson. Learn this correctly and it just may become your go-to induction with clients. 

Lesson 17 - Dealing with Phobias and Anxieties
In this lesson Mike teaches you all about how to deal with phobia and anxieties. Lousy hypnotists often think these are the same thing - they are not! Pay close attention to the fine points in this material and you'll become far better than most (poorly trained) hypnotists.

Lesson 18 - Entertainment Hypnosis
By popular demand, this lesson focuses entirely on using hypnosis for entertainment. Whether you want to hypnotize friends at a party or do full stage hypnosis shows, this is the education you need. Remember, Mike Mandel has been doing professional stage hypnosis since 1975. What he shares is pure gold.

Also: We give you a FULL example of Mike Mandel's stage show in the bonus area. The entire show is captured with professional sound and HD video quality!

Lesson 19 - Smoking Cessation, Addictions and Cravings
In this lesson Mike Mandel shows you how to help people will all sorts of addictions and cravings including how to deal with smokers. If you're helping people with these issues this lesson alone will transform your results and your business.

Lesson 20 - Pain Management
Most people don't know this about hypnosis, but it really shines with helping people control pain.  We often get pain management specialists (doctors) coming to our live training JUST to learn this topic. In this online training you'll learn several different methods to deal with pain, including submodality shifts, direct suggestion and glove anaesthesia.

Lesson 21 - Weight Management
Why call it "weight management" instead of "weight loss"? Because when you lose something you attempt to find it again.  We don't want our clients finding their lost weight. You'll learn Mike Mandel's 4-session approach to helping clients achieve their ideal body composition while building up their self esteem and installing supportive, positive beliefs.

Lesson 22 - Procrastination and Insomnia
We attack these two common client problems with this lesson. At this point in the lesson plan you'll already have solid ideas and tools to help you deal with both problems, but Mike shares many more nuggets of wisdom to help you achieve superior results.

Lesson 23 - Self Hypnosis
This lesson is all about the wonderful world of self hypnosis. Mike and Chris share many methods and the three-step setup that you must use to get the best results.  It's easy to do! We've included this highly detailed lesson because it's an important topic and we're sick of seeing others try to charge a lot of money for JUST this topic.  We're committed to delivering superior training and value.

Lesson 24 - The Nominalization Lens Protocol, Pattern Interrupts and More Hypnosis Tools.
In this lesson, Mike hands you several new techniques to help people change their lives.  You'll learn Mike's own "nominalization lens protocol" which helps clients see their life through a new "lens". You'll learn the diagonal reframe to instantly change how clients feel about something. You'll learn a new induction (the conscious/unconscious dissociation) and how to perform powerful pattern interrupts.

We DO NOT teach you to read scripts. We teach principles, not scripts.  When you learn to read a script you're training to ... read scripts!  We teach you solid principles so you'll successfully develop the right approach for each client.

It's NOT just a digital version of a box of DVDs. Yes, you do get hundreds of training videos. But you also get real interaction with us and our global community of students. We support one another. Mike and Chris stay involved.

It's NOT old school, dust-dry hypnosis. This isn't a bunch of lecture videos.  No way!  We recorded these videos specifically for our online Academy and we made them FUN. Mike is an extremely engaging and entertaining hypnosis instructor, so you'll love our training. Mike stays very current on the best methods in hypnosis so this isn't some repackaged hypnosis material from the 1960s. It's fresh and fun.

It's NOT just for beginners. The Academy is absolutely suited for beginners (because we start by building your foundation in hypnosis), but we regularly teach experienced hypnotists, medical doctors, psychologists and psychiatrists.  Mike Mandel will up your game no matter where you're at right now.
