Module 2 : Character types and their symptoms
- Describes in depth three main "Character Types" (into one of which all human beings can be classified) and explains which type of character is prone to what symptoms - and what those symptoms are. e.g. What sort of person is pre-disposed to smoking, over eating and nail-biting? Why do some people brood and worry over things, so much so that they create illness? How come some people remain calm at the scene of an accident, while others become 'hysterical' ?
- Compulsions, obsessions, hypochondria, anxiety, phobias and other symptoms are discussed and explained. How are they formed? Where do they come from? What purpose do they serve? (includes a list of over 300 phobias)
- The doctrine of CAUSE AND EFFECT and the creation of psycho-somatic symptoms is introduced. Why does the subconscious mind create symptoms? How does 'it' do it? How can we get rid of these symptoms?
- Anxiety generally, and the anxiety state in particular, is expounded. What is a 'panic attack'? Why does it feel so bad? How does 'it' know when to happen?

Accompanying audio lectures:
Talk recapping the lecture notes to date. A complex 'anti-smoking', 'slimming', 'anti-nail-biting' and general 'self-improvement' tape all rolled into one, demonstrating how aversion can be produced by post-hypnotic suggestion - also utilises the power of subliminal perception material.
Module 6 : Meeting the client
- Word for word account of what to ask, what to say and how to greet and reassure a client.

Accompanying audio lectures:
Relaxing piano music which has post-hypnotic suggestions for calmness and confidence "concealed behind" the music in the form of subliminal perception material (the Therapist's voice taken up the frequency range working in a similar way to a dog whistle; your subconscious hears the message - your intellect doesn't). Talk including Demonstration Hypnotic Induction.
"Prior to studying the diploma course with Successful Hypnotherapy, I was a practising therapist who had been on a variety of different courses over the years, picking up snippets of information along the way. Because of this, I had a 'toolbag' of semi-successful techniques, and would often be confused as to which ones to use... Now that I just use the one, very simple and effective technique of pure hypnoanalysis, my success rates are considerably higher, and I am REALLY helping people to make significant changes in their lives.
The course itself is written in an engaging, and easy to digest style, and working full-time already, It was great to have been able to study at home, in my own time. Now I am an IAPH Member, the constant support and advice from fellow IAPH therapists makes this truly remarkable therapy easy to practise."

Key Learning Points
Each course module comes with an accompanying document, the 'Key Learning Points', which reinforce the main points of the module, making learning and understanding much easier.
"I had been in practise as a hypnotherapist for many years, before I undertook the Successful Hypnotherapy course and I have to say that it has completely changed not only the way I work, but my outlook on life as well!
The course is so well written, and goes into so much more depth than the other training courses I have completed. Pure Hypnoanalysis, as taught by Rob Kelly has got to be the easiest and most effective therapy there is.
In one word, 'amazing'!"
