Conversational hypnosis training
You can find the problem in conversation. Learn to change it there, with someone watching you work.
Enter the Loop® is the conversational specialty you take after general hypnosis training. You learn to notice the loop your client is already running, work with it inside a normal conversation, and test the change together so you both know whether it held.

Why it's different
Built for the moment the script runs out
Most hypnosis training starts by teaching you to put someone into a trance. That's a solid foundation. It's also why a real person going off-script can leave you reaching for the next line.
Your client is already running a loop of their own: a belief that fires an image, that fires a feeling, on repeat. Enter the Loop® teaches you to notice that loop and change it with them, inside a normal conversation.
A course can teach you the method. It can't watch you work.
Their exact words, given back
One clean question at a time
Then you test the change together
Principles, not a script library. No performance.
You learn to notice what's in front of you and respond to it, in your client's own words.
You test the change.
You and your client check the original problem together, so you both know whether it held.
Clean and consented.
Your client chooses what to work on and checks the change for themselves. Consent, scope and judgment are taught as part of the method, including when to refer someone on.
In a session
Three things you'll learn to do in a session
01
Notice the loop.
Follow your client's exact words and what changes as they talk, instead of guessing.
02
Run LORRA.
Listen, Observe, Repeat, Relate, Ask: one clean question at a time, in their words.
03
Test the change together.
Set a baseline, then check the original problem with your client before you close.

In their own words
Quoted as they wrote it. We only cut from the start or the end of a post, never the middle, and "…" shows where we cut.

…I'd used other techniques before, and gotten her okay with driving, but that comfort faded rapidly. This time, it's held, even though we hadn't gotten a chance to drive in the two or three weeks since we did this session. I've made many mistakes, and was somewhat sloppy, yet the technique is so good that it worked fine anyway…

I had a session with Sue. In a very short space of time, she was able to help me identify the source of my stress, visualise it, describe it and put measure in place to alleviate it. I now have several, very simple and effective, strategies to help me move forward and it was all done in a non invasive way. Incredibly powerful.

…I am learning so much from your sessions on how to finetune my own sessions and how to really listen. Love your demos. So much gold in how perceptive you are and how you get to the crux of the issue with such simplicity.

These are individual experiences, not typical results. Results depend on the practitioner, the client and the practice put in, and we don't promise any result (Terms of Service, section 14).

Watch a full session, then decide
A real session from the Vault, with the setup left in and Kevin a month later at the start and end. Judge it for yourself.
Enter the Loop® is for you if...
You've done the training, and a real person still goes somewhere your script didn't plan for
You can find what's going on in a conversation, and you want to stay in it to do the work
You want to know whether your session did anything, instead of guessing afterward
You'd rather practice with real people than finish one more course alone

FAQ
Questions
Still wondering about something? Bring it to the free Open Session and ask Timothy live.
What is conversational hypnosis?
Conversational hypnosis is changework done inside a normal conversation, without a formal trance induction. In Enter the Loop®, that means noticing the loop your client is already running (a belief, the image it fires, the feeling that follows), working with it in their own words, and testing the change together before you finish. It's consented and collaborative, never covert.
How is Enter the Loop® different from learning hypnosis scripts?
Scripts tell you what to say before you've met the person. Enter the Loop® teaches a small number of principles you run live: follow your client's exact words, ask one clean question at a time, and test the original problem with them at the end. It builds on the training you already have, and you practice it with people watching.
Who is Enter the Loop® for?
It's for hypnotists, hypnotherapists, coaches, therapists and NLP practitioners who can find the problem in a conversation but can't yet reliably change it there. It suits people who want principles over scripts, live practice with feedback, and a way to check whether a session worked. It isn't therapy for yourself, and it doesn't offer CE credits.
How do I start, and is there a free way to see it?
Start with the free Open Session on Zoom, the third Friday of every month, 1 to 3 PM ET. You watch conversational changework done live with real volunteers and ask Timothy your questions, camera off if you like. Can't make it live? Sign up anyway and we'll email you the replay. You can also watch a full recorded session on this site.
How much does Enter the Loop® cost?
Monthly is $69 a month and you can cancel anytime. The Annual Pass is $695 a year and renews automatically each year until you turn off renewal. Foundations Live, the 10-week live cohort with Timothy, is $2,495 or 3 payments of $865 ($2,595 total), and includes a year of the Annual Pass. Every plan is compared on the Plans and Prices page.
Who teaches it?
Timothy September created Enter the Loop® and teaches all 10 weeks of Foundations Live himself. Nicholas Heger, our Lead Mentor, runs the Mentor Room twice a week for Annual Pass members: you run a session, he watches, and if you want feedback he tells you what worked and what to change. Members also practice on each other in Peer Practice.
