 As Executive Director of the Florida Institute of Hypnotherapy, Matthew
Brownstein founded the Hypnotherapy school located in the Millhopper area of
Gainesville after many years of exploring his own personal growth and well being.
It is obvious that his search produced the results he had been seeking. In 1992,
Matthew recalls a moment while pursuing his journey of personal growth and
investigating many avenues of study, including healing modalities that would
help to keep him on his path of growth and self-improvement. Matthew’s journey
continued until while in fact, attending school for Acupuncture, he happened to
experience a hypnotherapy session. That one session compounded his search
and he realized that hypnotherapy fulfilled everything he was looking for as a
means for personal transformation, both in his own life and the lives of others.
Practicing since 1997, Matthew has over 10,000 clinical practice hours, is a Clinical
Certified Hypnotherapist, and a Certified Examiner and Instructor. In addition to
his many spiritual and meditative studies, Matthew is the author of four books and
over 60 CD’s (in association with Silent Light Publishers, Inc,) all of which are
available at the School and online.
After ten years and a considerable investment, Matthew’s dream of opening a
School for Hypnotherapy was realized in the Florida Institute of Hypnotherapy.
The school is the first Hypnotherapy school in Florida which is State Licensed and
issues certified diplomas. The School is also certified by the American Council of
Hypnotist Examiners.
Upon entering the Center’s building there is a sense of calm and peacefulness,
which is supported by Matthew and his Associates, and is expressed through
their gentle, sincere demeanor, and apparent love and passion for their chosen
field.
Apart from the school, Anahat Center holds Meditation and Life Mastery classes
(which are free and held weekly on Wednesday evenings), with monthly Free
Lectures on Hypnotherapy and becoming a hypnotherapist, and of course, there
are private sessions of hypnotherapy available.
Matthew’s Associates (graduates of his school) have many varied backgrounds,
some in healing and medical fields, others in foreign studies, but all of them have
come together with a sole purpose, and that is to continue to teach others, and
provide ways for clients to assist in learning how to transform their lives. Their
primary focus relies on helping clients to retrain their mind, and therefore respond
in more beneficial ways.
All of the Associates agree; it is very rewarding to see the results these methods
produce.
All clients are provided with recordings of the hypnotic experiences which
continue reinforcing the practices and training habits demonstrated during their
sessions. The main goal is to teach clients to learn how to better, and empower
themselves.
SOME OF THE BENEFITS OF HYPNOSIS ARE:
• Development and expression of awareness and intuition
• Increase self-confidence
• Relaxation
• Improved concentration
• Reduce conflict and stress
• Promote health and well-being
• Regain ability to sleep easily
• Discover negative mental patterns
• Freedom from hostility and rejection
• Program the mind with positive mental concept
Hypnotherapy is becoming more and more mainstream, and is being gradually
integrated as a complimentary approach to traditional methods of care.
The Florida Institute of Hypnotherapy provides hands-on training covering all
the basics of hypnotism and hypnotherapy, and offers many advanced techniques.
Some of the areas covered in the professional training include multiple styles of
hypnotism, self-hypnosis, suggestion therapy, intuitive hypnotherapy, stress
management, inner child work, breath work, neuro-linguistic programming, guided
imagery, life mastery, regressive hypnosis and supervised clinical practice on fellow
students. The caring atmosphere honors the sensitive nature of the process.
With the classroom hours amounting to a total of just 410, a typical student can
become certified in as little as six months. Naturally, there is additional training
and continuing education offered to those who wish to expand their qualifications.
Matthews Associates (graduates) plainly loved attending the school and stressed
how little it felt like going to “school” (or work) but more like the opposite, and
they greatly looked forward to the weekend classes. The graduates felt that it can
truly be called life changing, and it not only met all their expectations, but exceeded
them.
Matthew’s hope for the future is that his Associates will become teachers
themselves, which will be attained by the completion of a three-year program,
and one of his other goals is to open four more schools in Florida in the not too
distant future.
If you are looking for a career that offers a lot of satisfaction and rewards, then
you may want to look into becoming a Certified Hypnotherapist (checkout
www.tfioh.com for details). Private sessions and free consultations are also
available. If the Associates at Florida Institute of Hypnotherapy are any measure
of people who are happy in their work, they are certainly that and more.
