The Seven Most Effective Methods in Clinical Hypnosis
(Practice & Demonstration)
with Richard Nongard
About This Workshop:
After 38+ years of practicing professional hypnosis, I've discovered something important: not all techniques are created equal.
Some methods consistently produce profound results. Others fall flat. The difference between a good hypnotist and a truly exceptional one often comes down to mastering the approaches that actually work—techniques backed by research and refined through thousands of real-world sessions.
That's exactly what I'm bringing to you in this two-day intensive workshop, held immediately before the HypnoThoughts Live conference.
I've distilled nearly four decades of clinical experience into the seven most powerful approaches I know. These are the methods that help people genuinely transform their health, break stubborn habits, and unlock personal development breakthroughs.
If you're a hypnotist, coach, or change worker ready to elevate your practice, this is the class you've been waiting for.
What You'll Master in This Workshop
Every technique I teach will be fully demonstrated, explained, and practiced. You won't just learn theory—you'll leave with skills you can apply immediately.
The Seven Approaches We'll Explore:
- Panoramic Hypnosis Induction
A powerful induction method that creates deep, responsive trance states. - Experiential Approaches to Somatic Therapy
Integrating body-based techniques to address the physical dimension of change. - Eliciting Hypnotic Phenomena
How to reliably produce catalepsy, amnesia, time distortion, and other hypnotic responses that deepen therapeutic outcomes. - SHEMER (Self-Help Eye Movement Emotional Repatterning)
A cutting-edge technique for processing emotions and creating lasting shifts. - The Nested-Loop
Master this elegant storytelling structure to bypass resistance and deliver powerful suggestions. - Effective Neurolinguistic Programming Techniques
The NLP methods I use, that actually produce results in clinical and coaching settings. - Contextual Psychology & Relational Frame Theory
Understanding the science of language and cognition to craft more effective interventions.
This Workshop Is For You If...
- You're a hypnotist who wants to move beyond basic scripts and develop true mastery
- You're a coach looking to add powerful change techniques to your toolkit
- You're a change worker who wants research-backed methods, not just theory
- You want to stand out from other practitioners in your field
- You're ready to reignite your passion for helping others
What You'll Walk Away With
This isn't a passive lecture. Over two full days, you'll gain:
- Deep understanding of each technique's theory and application
- Live demonstrations of every method taught
- Hands-on practice with fellow attendees
- Scripts and resources you can use immediately with clients
- Confidence that comes from true competency
- Connection with a community of dedicated practitioners
I'm giving you the essential skills that took me decades to refine—skills that can set you apart from other hypnotists, elevate your client engagement, and create genuine passion for the gift of hypnosis.
Meet Dr. Richard K. Nongard
"I've spent 38 years in the field of professional hypnosis—training thousands of practitioners, working with countless clients, and constantly researching what actually creates lasting change.
I'm not interested in flashy techniques that look impressive but don't deliver results. My focus has always been on methods grounded in research and proven in practice. I've authored numerous books on hypnosis and therapeutic techniques, trained hypnotists around the world, and maintained an active clinical practice throughout my career.
My teaching philosophy is simple: show, don't just tell. Every concept I present will be demonstrated, explained, and practiced until you own it.
I believe hypnosis is one of the most powerful gifts we can offer others—and I'm committed to helping you deliver that gift with skill, confidence, and integrity."
