Study skills course
A novel learning experience is being offered by Anne M. Courtney (Consulting
Hypnotist) in the form of a workshop designed to maximise your learning
potential using Self Hypnosis. If you are anxious about studying, feel that you
do not get the most out of the time you spend studying, or find it hard to even
get down to the act of studying, maybe avoiding or putting off studying certain
subjects, then this course is for you.
A study carried out by Wark in 1996 showed how the grade point averages of 51
college students improved significantly after being taught self hypnosis to
improve their learning skills (American Journal of Clinical Hypnosis).
Anne tailors her courses to suit the needs of the participants and the courses
are streamed to cater for the following cohorts: Leaving
Certificate students
Junior Certificate students
Adult learners returning to Secondary school or Third Level
education
First year students about to start the academic year at College or
University
Employees facing learning challenges in the workplace
Anne has been lecturing at IT Tralee for the last 18 years and with a Masters in
the Management of Education under her belt, has a lot of experience working with
all kinds of learning environments from academia to industry. She is also a
certified hypnotist with her own private practice located 5 miles out of Tralee
town and is a member in good standing of the National Guild of Hypnotists.
She reports that many adult learners who have spent years in the workplace
return to Third Level education whether full time or part time with some
trepidation and anxiety. There are many worries, including concerns about being
able to cope with the demands of their chosen course. The mature student may
have to juggle work and family commitments alongside attending their chosen
course and then have to find the time to study and prepare for examinations.
It is well known that if you are feeling stressed out, especially from many of
the reasons mentioned already, that you may not be able to make the most of your
study session. It is important therefore with all these pressures in mind, that
the mature student maximise the output from the time they put aside to study.
RELAXATION is the key armed with reprogramming your mind with positive
suggestions connected with motivation, clearing your brain and so on.
What you will learn on the course:
Each participant will be trained in the art of self hypnosis. This involves the
use of relaxation and guided imagery techniques and the use of self suggestions
designed by you, the participant which you will use to positively ‘reprogramme’
your subconscious mind to improve your confidence, readiness and motivation for
study. The course is unique in that you will be taking way tools and techniques
which can be used in other areas of your life. You the participant are
empowered!! The course encourages you to analyse your own personal obstacles to
learning and how to reframe these negatives. You will also enjoy learning some
Neuro Linguistic Programming techniques which can be applied to other aspects of
your life.
Session duration
Sessions are generally 3.5 to 4 hours long with a break for light refreshments
half way through. All refreshments are provided. It promises to be a fun
morning or evening and should prove to be rewarding with a lot of hands on
exercises which will reinforce your confidence in using the techniques even when
you are back at home. Each workshop is restricted to a maximum of 10 persons.
Prerequisites
Obviously you are coming to this workshop because you have identified a weakness
in your study habits. This means that you are already motivated for change in
this area!! Brilliant! So bring along an open mind to a novel and unique
experience where your brilliant and largely untapped unconscious mind will be
brought to the forefront in helping you rise to the challenge. If you can,
listen to my FREE Relaxation Download each night for the week prior to coming to
the workshop.
