Hypnotherapy methodology has two major categories: suggestion therapy and uncovering methods. ALL STYLES (i.e. Ericksonian, Alchemical, Advanced Regression Therapy, etc.) of hypnotherapy break down to be a form of one, or a combination of both.

Suggestion therapy is basically, saturating the mind with the right thinking to bring about behavior modification, i.e., stop smoking. Uncovering methods are for the discovering and healing of the subconscious "cause" of the problem. While this is a simplification, there are dozens and dozens of methods for accomplishing either category. And you simply will not be prepared to help people address all problems by attending a basic, brief and superficial training program that does NOT provide you with comprehensive instruction in both categories. (Any course less than 300 classroom hours of instruction just cannot give you enough time to develop superior skills.)
