Whole Brain Hypnotherapy Professional Skills Training
​This training is designed for people who want to understand how hypnotherapy actually works,
not just learn techniques to follow.
​
WHY TRAIN WITH ME?
I’m Linda Sevilla, and I’ve been working with the subconscious mind for over 25 years.
Since 1999, I’ve helped thousands of clients navigate real-life challenges like anxiety, habits, trauma, confidence, and major life transitions using hypnotherapy in practical, grounded ways that actually work.
​
This training is not theory for theory’s sake. It’s the result of decades of hands-on clinical experience.
Everything you’ll learn here comes from what I’ve seen succeed with real people in real sessions, not from generic scripts copied out of textbooks or techniques designed to look impressive on paper.
​
I created this program for people who want to understand how hypnotherapy really works, not just memorize techniques.
My approach teaches you how to think like a practitioner, how to listen beneath the surface, and how to work with the whole person rather than trying to “do hypnosis to” someone.
​
I’m in a different phase of my life now, and I’m no longer interested in building institutions or chasing credentials.
What I am interested in is leaving behind the knowledge, insight, and methods that I know create meaningful change.
This training is my way of passing that on.
If you’re looking for a solid, skill-based foundation built on real-world experience, ethical practice, and deep respect for the client’s mind, you’re in the right place.
What Makes Whole Brain Hypnotherapy Different?
Most hypnotherapy training focuses almost entirely on getting clients into deep trance and delivering suggestions.
That approach assumes that depth alone creates change.
In real practice, that simply isn’t true.
​
Over years of working with clients, I learned that many people don’t go into deep trance easily.
Some stay analytical. Some stay aware. Some feel unsafe when pushed too far, too fast.
When practitioners are taught that “deeper is better,” they often miss what’s actually happening in front of them.
Whole Brain Hypnotherapy is built on a different understanding.
​
Instead of trying to bypass or overpower the conscious mind, this approach works with it.
The conscious mind is not the enemy.
It’s the part of the client that asks questions, checks for safety, and decides whether something makes sense.
When it’s ignored or pushed aside, resistance increases and results suffer.
​
In this method, you learn how to engage both the conscious and subconscious minds at the same time.
You learn how to work effectively in light to medium trance, how to use language the mind naturally responds to, and how to adapt your approach to the person in front of you rather than forcing everyone into the same process.
​
This is why the work feels safer for clients, more natural for practitioners, and more effective in real sessions.
Whole Brain Hypnotherapy isn’t about controlling the mind. It’s about understanding how it actually works.
​
If you’d like to see how this approach is taught before enrolling, you’re welcome to explore the first two units through a free hypnotherapy training test drive.
It’s designed to give you a real sense of the depth, structure, and teaching style used throughout the full program.
​
WHY WHOLE BRAIN HYPNOTHERAPY WORKS
After working with thousands of clients since 1999, I stopped trying to force change through depth alone.
What actually creates results is alignment.
When clients feel safe, understood, and mentally engaged, change happens more naturally and lasts longer.
Whole Brain Hypnotherapy works because it respects how the mind functions in real life, not just how it behaves in theory.
​
Instead of suppressing conscious awareness, this approach uses it.
Clients remain involved in the process, which reduces resistance and increases trust.
When both the conscious and subconscious minds are working together, insights land more clearly and changes integrate more easily.
This is why the work translates so well outside the session room.
Clients understand what’s happening.
They feel ownership over the process.
And they’re far more likely to follow through.
Why Work with the Whole Brain?
-
Stronger Client Engagement
Clients don’t feel pressured to “go deep.” They feel respected, involved, and safe. -
Real-World Effectiveness
You’ll learn how to work successfully with clients who stay aware, analytical, or cautious. -
Client-Centered Practice
Techniques are adapted to the individual instead of forcing everyone into the same process.
What’s Included:
SELF-PACED, FLEXIBLE LEARNING
This is a fully self-paced program designed to fit into real life.
All material is delivered through a combination of video, audio, and written lessons so you can move through it at your own speed.
There are no deadlines, no pressure to keep up, and no requirement to be present at a specific time.
You return to the material whenever you need a refresher, whether you’re learning something new or applying it in practice.
​
​Real Client Session Library
One of the most valuable parts of this training is the opportunity to observe real sessions.
You’ll see how theory translates into practice by watching actual hypnotherapy work from intake through intervention.
These sessions show how I build rapport, adjust language in the moment, respond to unexpected challenges, and tailor approaches to the client rather than the technique.
This gives you practical insight that simply isn’t available in scripted demonstrations.
Buddy System: Practice and Support
You’ll have the option to connect with other students for practice and accountability.
This allows you to role-play techniques, exchange feedback, and build confidence applying what you’re learning.
Many students also form professional connections that continue beyond the program.
Participation is optional, but available if you want peer support as you develop your skills.
Program Inclusions:
-
28 Units of Curriculum: Videos, audios, and text content that cover everything from theory to practice.
-
Lifetime Access: Return to the material anytime to refresh your knowledge.

Who is a good candidate for my Hypnotherapy training?
​
Potential students who look into my program are often people who have been in the helping industry in some way; social workers, nurses, counselors, psychologists, alternative health care workers and bodyworkers. Although I also get a fair share of psychics, energy workers and reiki folks who take the training. My course is a perfect fit for them as well as I cover both the scientific and spiritual aspects of hypnosis. I am proud to say that the largest group of people who take my training are people who were formerly my clients. I think that says something about my approach; that a client would get such great results working with me that they would be willing to change careers to help others do the same!
​
Hypnotherapy is a fascinating field and the students who take my training often experience a great deal of personal growth as they go through my program. It is nearly impossible to study hypnotherapy without also looking into your own beliefs, history, patterns, relationships, habits and experiences. Therfore, my ideal student is one who loves personal growth, is willing to look at themselves and is eager to be the best version of themselves they can be. This course WILL change you-- if you let it ;)
​
Warning: The study of hypnotherapy, or at least how I teach it, can be paradigm shifting and can cause cognitive dissonance. I look at this as 'growing pains"- when we are introduced to information that does not match our current world view, it can require an adjustment in how we look at things. We are left changed as a result. The people best suited for my training are people who are curious, openminded, and open to that deep paradigm shift that can occur being exposed to new eye opening information!
​
What will you learn?
​
Alongside the personal growth aspect of the course, you will also be learning how to help others with a variety of goals such as habit control, pain management, resolving anxiety, depression OCD, PTSD and so much more.
​
My approach is all about understanding and resolving what is underlying the client's symptoms. I cannot emphasize enough that this is NOT "scriptnosis"- I am NOT teaching you to read generic scripts to a passive client. This is interactive, client centered hypnotherapy.
You will learn:
​
-
How to improve your communication so you can work with clients with an open mind, leaving judgement out of your interactions and looking at the client's symptoms with curiosity and respect.
-
How to work spontaneously with any client on any goal- I know that sounds like a bold promise. It will be a slow build- you need to learn to walk before you can run. But you will learn interventions from me that will leave you feeling confident to work with anyone on anything. That's my promise to you.
-
How to do a thorough consultation that will build the client's belief in you, give you a good sense of what is going on for the client and how to strategize for working with them.
-
How to address a variety of clients goals and symptoms including anxiety, fears and phobias, habit control, pain management, birthing, dental, pre and post operative, depression, sexual dysfunction, sport improvement, study skills and more.
-
How to find clients and how to have a successful practice
-
How to do personalized session with your clients that take into consideration their language, motivation, relevant history, preferences and needs. My focus is on really knowing your client and modifying everything you do to make the hypnosis successful for them

This is an intensive course so I suggest you have a look at the learning outcomes to get the full scope of the training

​
What makes this Hypnotherapy training different than other programs?​
Much of the material you will receive from me is proprietary meaning you will not find it anywhere else.
​
I have been doing hypnotherapy full time since 1999, seeing 6 clients a day for most of my career. I have worked with literally thousands of clients and so I KNOW what works. I know how to get results, and I am passing everything I know onto you. You will receive interventions and processes I have created and you will benefit from my over 2 decades of work with clients and the massive learning curve I had along the way. I will save you from making the same mistakes I made in the beginning, significantly shortening that learning curve for you.
​
I was also a teacher prior to becoming a hypnotherapist so I know how to create lessons, assignments, and exercises to help you really understand and be able to implement the material. I do believe that my combination of skill and experience with hypnotherapy and my background in teaching is a combination that makes my training top notch. In fact, my students often comment that my teaching background shows in how I run my classes and organize and present material.
​
Many other hypnotherapy programs try to tell you that you can learn hypnotherapy in a few hours or a few weeks. They will give you scripts to read to your client and, when that doesn't work, will tell you that it is because the client was resistant and doesn't really want the results. BEWARE of training that tries to tell you this! This is a cop out to explain away poor technqiue and lack of understanding as to how this whole process works.
​
When you enter my hypnotherapy training program and become my student, it becomes my goal to give you the very best hypnotherapy training possible. I am here to support you in having a wildly successful hypnotherapy practice! I want you to have a lucrative and enjoyable career as a hypnotherapist. I will teach you what WORKS! In my training the focus is on identifying the underlying cause of the client's symptoms and then addressing them. You will be learning to work interactively with your clients, getting them get insights into their symptoms and to speak to you while in hypnosis, so that you can address what is responsible for their symptoms instead of merely trying to suggest them away.
​
There are many online hypnotherapy courses to choose from. It can be very confusing trying to figure out which to choose. In the same way that I support my hypnosis training students, I want to help you in making a wise and informed decision when it comes to your choice of hypnotherapy training. Contact me to set up a Zoom meeting or send me any questions you may have.
