A Legacy Continued

It started with a letter to Larry Elman, son of the legendary Dave Elman. I asked for permission to translate his father’s classic book.

The reply changed everything.

 

While the book remains a classic, the Elman family opened a bigger door: they granted me the mandate to teach their living, up-to-date methods.

The Elman Institute for NLP & Hypnotherapy was born not from a textbook from 1964, but from a direct connection to the source.

Course Syllabus

PHASE I: THE HYPNOTIC ENGINE
 (The Dave Elman Methods)
Creating the state where "Anything Is Possible." Mastering speed, depth, and the bypass of the Critical Factor.

PART 1: THE MENTAL MODEL & NEUROSCIENCE

The Biological Basis. Go behind the scenes of the subconscious. Understand the nervous system, brain waves, and the biological mechanics that make trance possible.

PART 2: THE ART OF RAPPORT & VOICE

The Instrument. Your voice is your primary tool. Master "The More... The More..." loops and build profound trust before even saying the word "hypnosis."

PART 3: THE PRE-TALK & EXPECTATION

The Setup. The secret to success happens before the eyes close. Learn to bypass resistance, demystify hypnosis, and set the stage for a perfect session.

PART 4: THE ELMAN PRINCIPLES

The Core Philosophy. Discover why Dave Elman’s approach changed history. Learn the core philosophy of speed, simplicity, and measurable results.

PART 5: THE ELMAN INDUCTION

The Engine of Certainty. The heart of the course. Master the exact 4-minute protocol to bypass the Critical Factor and achieve deep Somnambulism instantly.

PART 6: NAVIGATION, TESTING & DEPTH

The "Receptionist vs. CEO" Model. Never guess if they are "deep enough." Learn to use Convincers and verify Somnambulism with absolute precision before therapy begins.

PART 7: WAKING HYPNOSIS

The Power of Suggestion. Learn to stick a hand to the table with eyes open. Master the art of bypassing the Critical Factor without a formal trance induction.

PART 8: SAFETY & CRISIS MANAGEMENT

The Anchor in the Storm. Be the safest person in the room. Learn to handle abreactions (emotional release) and technical issues with total calm and professionalism.

PHASE II: THE NEURO-LINGUISTIC ARCHITECTURE
 (Advanced NLP & Change Work)
Now that you have the trance, how do you navigate the mind? The structural tools for precise, surgical belief change.

PART 9: INTRODUCTION TO NLP

The Bridge to Change. Transition from "Hypnotist" to "Change Worker." Understand the structure of human experience and how to hack the brain's operating system.

PART 10: THE COMMUNICATION MODEL

Map vs. Territory. Learn how the mind deletes, distorts, and generalizes reality—and how to use this map to create new possibilities for your clients.

PART 11: BELIEF ARCHITECTURE

The Deep Work. The deepest level of therapy. Learn to detect and dismantle limiting beliefs ("I'm not enough") and install empowering new identities.

PART 12: CONVERSATIONAL HYPNOSIS

Surgical Verbal Mastery. Influence without a formal trance. Master the Milton Model, embedded commands, and the art of "covert" change in regular conversation.

PART 13: THE SURGICAL TOOLKIT

From Understanding to Installation. Master the classic NLP tools: Anchors, Swish Patterns, Strategy Elicitation, and the Fast Phobia Cure for rapid, permanent change.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: I am already trained in NLP or Hypnosis. Why do I need this?

A: This is the missing link. Most practitioners learn NLP or Hypnosis separately. This creates a gap. Our course is the first to fully integrate them. You will learn how to use the precision of NLP to navigate the mind, and the power of Elmanian Hypnosis to create deep, lasting change. It transforms you from a "technician" into a Master Practitioner.

Q: Why the "Dave Elman" approach?

A: Because time matters. Traditional hypnosis can take 20 minutes just to relax a client. The Dave Elman Induction (DEI) creates deep somnambulism in less than 4 minutes. It is the gold standard for medical and therapeutic hypnosis worldwide – fast, reliable, and logical.

Q: Is this certification recognized?

A: Yes. Upon successful completion and testing, you will be certified as a Master Practitioner by the Elman Institute for NLP & Hypnotherapy. This certification attests to your competence in both the Dave Elman methods and advanced NLP techniques.

Q: What exactly is included in the 5.5kg kit?

A: Everything you need for mastery. You get the 700-page Hardcover Textbook, the "Language of the Unconscious" Workbook, a custom-designed Pendulum, the Hypnotic Inductions Manual, and exclusive access to our Digital Video Library. It is the most comprehensive training kit ever produced.

Q: Why does shipping take time? (The Founders Deal)

A: We are producing a limited "Founders Edition" batch. These are not print-on-demand books; they are high-end, hardcover masterpieces. In exchange for your patience during production, we are giving you $700 OFF and Instant Digital Access. You start learning today; the trophy arrives later.
