STUDENT TESTIMONIALS

“I began the free one year online course in September 2008 and it gave me a huge impetus to study and help others and has made an essential impact on my life. I am a high school teacher and at the same time a psychology student in the second year – what impressed me very much with Stephen Brooks’ course is that it is extremely elaborate, concise and it encompasses both theoretical and practical knowledge. The course introduces the participant to the theory of Brooksonian Hypnotherapy gradually and is clearly compiled with the main ideas pinpointed in every unit. After reading each lesson you have the chance to discuss it with other participants. This kind of interaction with other participants in the course is invaluable. You are further motivated to investigate each given topic thus you can improve your knowledge about human behavior. You can even ask others for help. The assessment of your course work is done by your peers and you must also complete a multiple choice test each week. If you take the course seriously you will not only enjoy it but also be able to put the theory into practice. I know from my own experience that the course will surely have a good effect on your life. Thanks to this course I have already managed to help many people. I am exceedingly grateful to Stephen Brooks for sharing his experience with me.” Rezso Lazar – Romania

“This course has truly been a blessing as I am able to get a College level education, without having to pay the high cost. To me it’s an invaluable source of information as well as motivation to actually learn and master these therapeutic techniques. Thanks for giving me and countless others the opportunity to know themselves better and to get to know others, so as to be able to help create a better World, by facilitating change at the individual level. I am very excited to be learning technique after amazing technique of Brooksonian Hypnosis and Psychotherapy and I have already learned so much yet I have done less than one month of the full 12-Month free online course.” Joel Lopez – Puerto Rico, USA

“As a graduate of the excellent free on-line course by Stephen Brooks on Brooksonian Hypnotherapy, I can only say that it has expanded my mind and greatly improved the quality of my life! It is much better than many courses that I have paid for, and the quality of the information is superb! It sparked a lot of interest in Brooksonian Hypnotherapy for me and I am continuing to study and experience it. Also, the online community is of the highest caliber and Stephen Brooks is an excellent teacher!” Pedro Di Giacomo – USA

“After spending thousands of dollars and hours to attain understanding of the hypnotic process, I discovered Stephen Brooks free online course. Although formally schooled and certified as a hypnotherapist, my informal knowledge was lacking. It seems as if most schools code training with the intention to limit your understanding and keep the proverbial carrot dangling. The Brooksonian Hypnotherapy course is unreal. I literally get feedback from hundreds of students and dozens of moderators and graduates. Even when you feel you’ve reached your plateau, you will discover yourself subconsciously using techniques from this course. It seems that you can help teach the lessons as you learn them, reinforcing your own knowledge base. How do I know this course is great? Other sites charge to let you see interviews and lessons given by Stephen Brooks. They are literally the exact lessons and interviews that you are offered pro-bono from Stephen Brooks. I owe the greater deal of my conversational or Brooksonian abilities to this course and I am not even half way through. Thanks Mr. Brooks.” John B Lee IV – USA

“It is with great gratitude that I proffer this testimonial and give my permission for the inclusion of my name and the photo. We all learn at our own pace and in our own style. Some stay focused, keeping their goals in sight. I just seem to meander from one personal insight to another – as if on an unhurried journey. Stephen’s online course has been like an amazing paradox, both free and immensely valuable.” Les Coogan – Ireland
“I was naturally skeptical when I first read of this free course but Stephen Brooks’ course is absolutely genuine, down to earth, free of self-aggrandizing hype, confusing flights of fancy and extraordinary claims. Stephen teaches his discoveries directly and clearly, he illustrates all his lessons with hours and hours of footage of his real sessions, putting his own performances available for all to pick apart and analyze. In this way you really understand how all the skills weave together. So the transition from learning to providing therapy is as easy as possible given this is not a live training. And given that it is free and gives you limitless access to course materials and forums, I certainly didn’t also expect live moderation by trainers and responsive technical support! Stephen Brook’s desire to genuinely improve people’s lives more than his own reputation and bank balance is very clear.” Chris Preager – UK

“What Stephen teaches is very beautiful, simple, and powerful. I started the course to work on my own image and beliefs. A friend was having difficulty with a pattern of poor relationships with men. After watching several of Stephen’s sessions I decided to help my friend. As I worked with her I imagined what Stephen would do and I also followed my heart, sort of blended his thoughts and my thoughts. Months later I ran into my friend at a party. She took me aside and told me I absolutely must do this sort of work. Her entire life had changed. She was happier and had met a wonderful man who respected her and treated her wonderfully. I remember while working with her one particular thing I learned from Stephen which was almost like the magic of a Jedi when I began to explain to my friend that her beliefs were in the past. “In the past.” Simple and yet magical. Beautiful work from a wonderful website.” Earl West – USA
“I would like to say to anyone thinking about joining this excellent course that for me it is one of the best things I ever did. The best things they say in life are free and this is one of those things, if you are keen to learn something new and meet new friends then join the Stephen Brooks hypnosis course – thank you.” Brian Tatlow – UK

“Your free online course in Brooksonian psychotherapy and indirect hypnosis was one of the best courses ever. A “must” for every ongoing coach and therapist. Thanks not only for the very interesting lessons… one of the most important parts are the self-reflecting questionnaires and the possibility to exchange ideas with other students.” Andreas Tenhagen – Germany

BROOKSONIAN HYPNOSIS
Brooksonian Hypnosis is indirect and is based on compassion and integrity, so allows you to employ highly effective caring hypnotic techniques as part of your therapy or care work without any of the misunderstandings of the more direct traditional hypnosis. With the indirect Brooksonian approach the therapist does not imply that he has any special power to hypnotise, instead the emphasis is placed on the client or patient’s ability to naturally experience hypnosis for themselves with the therapist’s loving guidance. We believe this is a much more repectful approach to hypnotherapy and it reduces the client’s dependence on the therapist as it empowers the patient rather than disempowering them.
STEPHEN BROOKS BIOGRAPHY
Stephen Brooks was credited with pioneering the use of Indirect Hypnosis in the UK back in the 1970′s when he established British Hypnosis Research courses in more than 27 British hospitals. He is best known for compassionate demonstrations of “live hypnotherapy” with patients in front of groups of students. He finds this the best way to explain what he does. Live demonstrations of therapy also mirrors what would happen in an actual therapy session – so it’s an important way for students to learn. On this free course you will see over 45 hours of Stephen Brooks doing therapy with clients combined with his commentaries.
