One method. A practitioner who works at the root.
The complete foundation in the Subconscious Shift Method™ — clinical hypnotherapy training for therapists, coaches, and helping professionals who are ready to move clients beyond insight alone.
Insight opens the door. This is how you walk through it.
What you have now
Clients who understand their patterns — and repeat them anyway. Sessions that circle the same material. The quiet sense that talk alone reaches the story, but not the place where the story is stored.
What Level 1 gives you
A complete, repeatable session architecture for subconscious change: clinical inductions, regression, parts work, and integration — trauma-informed, evidence-based, and structured enough to use with your very next client.
Five days, built like a clinical residency.
Live, experiential, and practiced in real time — you will facilitate, receive, and refine the work every single day.
Foundations & the SSM™ Architecture
The science of the subconscious, trauma-informed frameworks, ethics and scope, and the complete session structure you'll build on all week.
Clinical Inductions & Trance Depth
Progressive relaxation, eye fixation, fractionation, and rapid inductions — plus trance-depth management and subconscious rapport.
Regression & Parts Therapy
Ericksonian and direct-suggestion frameworks, regression to cause, and parts work for the patterns that insight alone can't reach.
Evidence-Based Change Protocols
Structured protocols for anxiety, stress, trauma, phobias, pain, smoking cessation, weight, and insomnia — adapted to your scope of practice.
Integration, Documentation & Certification
Somatic anchoring, session documentation, full practice sessions with faculty feedback — and your SSM™ Level 1 certification.
You leave with the work in your hands.
Everything included. Nothing extra to buy.

One decision. The whole path.
Most practitioners who finish Level 1 already know they're going all the way to the Advanced Certified Hypnotherapist credential. The Practitioner Path bundles Level 1 and Level 2 into one enrollment — one decision, meaningful savings, and your seat reserved on the entire journey.

Built by a clinician. Held to an institute's standard.
The Subconscious Shift Method™ was developed by founder Kelly Bearer, MA, LPC, ACHT — licensed psychotherapist and clinical hypnotherapist — and is delivered by BHI Certified Faculty trained and certified to teach it.
That means every cohort gets the same rigorous, trauma-informed, deeply experiential training — and every certificate carries the full weight of the Institute behind it.
What discerning professionals ask us.
I'm a licensed therapist. Will this fit within my scope of practice?
I'm a coach, not a clinician. Is this for me?
Is it really live? What does the format look like?
What happens after Level 1?
How is BHI different from cheaper online certifications?
Your clients don't need more insight. They need you, trained deeper.
SSM™ Level 1 Hypnotherapy Certification — training that changes how you work for the rest of your career.
