The Rules of the Mind Hypnosis School – Training Archive

The Rules of the Mind Hypnosis School is permanently closed and no longer accepts students or offers hypnosis certification or training courses. This page is maintained as a historical archive of the training programs Dave Hill developed and taught during this chapter of his career.

The school previously offered training in general hypnosis, medical and dental hypnosis, forensic hypnosis, sports hypnosis, business and education applications, regression hypnosis, behavioral hypnosis, and hypnotherapy-related methods. The curriculum also addressed ethics, professionalism, appropriate referrals, practice development and the historical use of hypnosis in a variety of settings.

The course outlines below are preserved for historical purposes and document the subjects that were included in Dave Hill's former hypnosis training programs. They are not current course offerings and are not an invitation to enroll.
