Today, I received an email from a hypnotherapist in the UK.He wanted to know more about my hypnotherapy training, specifically 5-PATH®.
He told me that he had already learned a number of techniques and among them were Time Line Regression, Gestalt Chair, and Parts Integration.He wanted to know if he would benefit from learning 5-PATH®, and why that would be different from what he had learned already.
I’ll pass my response along to you.

Hello (Name Withheld),
The problem for many hypnosis professionals is that they seek out training and tend to get a number of unrelated hypnotic techniques to use with their clients. These may be very good techniques, but these hypnotists do not know the very best way to maximize the effectiveness of each technique, much less use them in a systematic way. They tend to under use them, or not use them in the most effective way. This tends to cause frustration, and less than optimal results.
Imagine having a system that maximizes the effectiveness of the most powerful techniques. Imagine how confident you will become when you use these powerful techniques on a regular basis. Think about how being much more effective will affect your clients and ultimately the success of your hypnosis practice. This is what they say 5-PATH® does for our grads.
Too many hypnotists under serve their clients and are as successful as they can be because of a lack of systematic approach that they can confidently use for almost every client that comes into their office. Too many teachers have learned hypnotherapy in this patchwork manner and just pass it along to their students.
Now, everything has changed. Hundreds of hypnosis professionals around the world have upgraded their practice of hypnosis through the use of 5-PATH®. They now can smoothly go from one powerful technique to the next, maximizing the effectiveness of each one. With 5-PATH® your confidence and skills grow more than in any other approach. In fact 5-PATH®, is the only system of hypnotherapy recognized by the NGH, and as a result is a recognized special interest group of that organization.
Another thing that improves when you switch to 5-PATH® is that everything is logical, and criteria based. If you are a logical person you will immediately see the beauty of the systematic approach and the value of the steps in the system. Using this system, you will know exactly when to move on to each step and each phase of the system.
Here is what our grads say,
Excellent as a skill building and personal development course. 5-PATH® brings the professional level of hypnotherapy to new and significantly higher standards. The course materials are complete and well developed. The blend of lecture, experience, practice and videos was effective, appropriate and well balanced. Steve Gruber, BS, MA Quebec, CA
I found the course to be very comprehensive and practical. The combination of education and practice enables graduates to get the skills and confidence they need to go out and start straight away. The 7th-PATH™ program ensures they won’t be taking too much personal baggage into the therapy room! Katherine Perry, BA
Having attended other hypnosis/hypnotherapy training courses, this is by far the very best course I’ve attended. The material is well organized, the instruction is very thorough and the numerous practice sessions allowed me to cement the concepts into my brain. Mike Bowers, N. Canton, OH
For more rave reviews go to www.hypnosiscenter.com/graduates.htm.
Even with all of this structure, it is extremely flexible. It is based on principles and strategies, and is not just a series of scripts to follow. And, underneath it all is the experience of not just myself, but of literally many tens of thousands of hours of use by hypnotherapists all around the world. The system works everywhere and with everyone, from the USA, to Asia and everywhere in between or north and south.
Here are some other benefits of becoming a Banyan Grad:
- Immediate membership in our private Yahoo Groups for 5-PATHers.
- Listing in our international directory of graduates.
- Ability to advertise on our websites.
- Ability to go on to more advanced training through our externship program via CDs.

Hypnosis doesn’t seem to be a big deal in Cuba. At least that is what the map says.
When you come to this hypnosis site you may have notice the cluster-map utility that we have off to the right site of the page. (Click on it. It really is cool.) It shows where our hypnosis crazed visitors come from around the world. Just today I was looking at it and I noticed that there are no one interested in hypnosis in Cuba! At least if they are, they don’t visit www.CalBanyan.com.
Isn’t this kind of strange? I know there are people in Cuba who speak English and have access to the Internet. At least I would think so, and some of those folks have got to be interested in hypnosis. We have visitors from just about every other Spanish speaking country in the world. I wonder what is going on here? Take a look at Mexico, there are some red dots. Those dots mean that we have people from those locations come to the site.
I am very intrigued by this. If anyone wants to venture a guess as to why this is, please leave a comment.
By the way, I’d love to come to Cuba and see that beautiful country. Maybe I should set up a NGH certification course there. That would be really great. If you have contact with anyone in Cuba with who is interested in hypnosis, have them come check out this site. At least we can put a dot there, and maybe we can help spread the good news about hypnosis in that beautiful country.

It is time for the profession to move forward, but some in the profession are still holding back. They are “wimping out.” Why? Because they are hypno-wimps. I know that I will be attacked for writing this. I am ready for the phone to ring, and the emails to fill in my inbox. So go ahead, if you don’t agree with me, complain. I’m ready for you.
You might be asking yourself, what the heck is Cal talking about. What are “hypno-wimps” and where do they come from? In this article, I will explain it all and go on to explain how hypno-wimps everywhere can break free and leave their wimpy approach to hypnosis, perhaps to rise to the level of being average, or perhaps to move to an altogether higher level in the profession, to be the best of the best, the hypno-1%’ers™.

I’d love to get some feedback from you on this one. After years of calling myself a “Hypnotherapist” I am considering changing the title I use to “Consulting Hypnotist.” I have my concerns of course, but I think that there are enough good reasons to change over to the new title to get me to do it. In fact it may be the best thing I can do for the vast majority of my clients. I am beginning to think that calling myself a hypnotherapist, and suggesting that they need my services suggests that there is something wrong with them, that they are actually ill, when they are not.
First my concern; I wonder how it would affect business if I dropped the title of hypnotherapist? Would potential clients perceive the same value in going to a “Consulting Hypnotist”, as they would in seeing a “Hypnotherapist”? I wonder would students attend my school if I offered certifications in hypnotism, and graduation from my certification courses resulted in becoming a Consulting Hypnotist? It really is about perceptions, isn’t it? And of course, perceptions determine behavior. And, my potential clients’ and students’ behavior, choosing my Center, or not, determines the success of my practice and school (meaning my business). This is a significant concern. I like being successful and living well.
Where did I get this idea of changing the title that I hold out to the public? It was a couple of years ago, maybe three, when I was at the National Guild of Hypnotists convention. During the keynote address by Dr. Dwight Damon, the president of the NGH, where he announced the idea and encouraged everyone to consider the name change. I immediately had mixed feelings. Why would he come up with such an idea? Here’s the problem, there are powers out there that would love to put an end to hypnotists doing their work. And, as a result of their efforts, some states now regulate the terms “therapist” and/or “therapy.” Other states are now considering the same kind of regulation. So, it makes sense that the leadership of National Guild of Hypnotists would want to promote a title for its members that all of its members could use. It would also make it less complicated as they work to keep hypnotists able to practice in all 50 states.
Perhaps selfishly, I thought because of the Read More…
It is an exciting evening here at the Banyan house, in Tustin, California, as we look out from our front yard and see a fire burning about 2 miles away. This is an area that I regularly ride my bike through. It is really windy, and these So. Cal. fires can move quite quickly. We will keep an eye on it; Hopefully they get it under control. I’ll write more later and let you know how it turns out.
