The two people who'll watch you work
Enter the Loop® is taught by Timothy September, who created it, and mentored by Nicholas Heger, our Lead Mentor. Here's who they are, and who this is for.
Why I built Enter the Loop®
For years, I struggled with consistency in my own practice. Some clients would change in a big way. Others wouldn't. And I'd be the one replaying the session on the drive home.
I trained with Mike Mandel, Chris Thompson, James Tripp, Melissa Tiers and Ryan Montis. I studied Milton Erickson and Ernest Rossi. I read every book I could find.
I was drowning in techniques. Certified in everything. Confident in nothing.
Then one difficult client almost made me quit the work I loved. What I found on the other side was this: the changes that held didn't come from scripts or protocols. They came from noticing the loop a person is already in, and working with it inside a normal conversation.
So that's what I teach. Not a script. A way of listening, asking and testing that you can run with the person in front of you. And I'd rather show you than tell you about it. That's what the Open Session is for.
Built on work you may already know
Enter the Loop® doesn't ask you to throw out your training. It builds on it. The course draws on James Tripp's Hypnosis Without Trance, Clean Language from David Grove's work as taught by Wendy Sullivan and Judy Rees, and the NUVI listening model from Chris Thompson and Mike Mandel, simplified so you can run it live. It's the conversational specialty you take after general hypnosis training.
Nicholas Heger, Lead Mentor
Nicholas has 5 years of private practice with couples and relationships.
He runs the Mentor Room, twice a week, for Annual Pass members and Foundations Live students. You run the session. Nicholas watches. If you want feedback, he tells you what worked and what to change.
The room is usually 4 to 6 people, and everyone who comes to practice gets a turn. Feedback is for those who want it: direct, but kind.
During Foundations Live, Nicholas also runs a separate Evening Session every cohort Thursday, 7 to 8:30 PM ET, with practice and Q&A on that week's material, for people in other time zones.
Mentor Room times: Wednesdays at 1 PM and Thursdays at 7 PM ET. Exact dates are always on the community Events tab.
Who it isn't for
- You want a way to influence people without them knowing. This work is done with people, and they choose what to work on.
- You want a stage show. It's a real conversation, so it's quieter than that.
- You're looking for therapy or medical care for yourself. Enter the Loop® isn't a substitute for either.
- You need CE credits. Enter the Loop® doesn't offer them today.
- You want private sessions with Timothy. No plan includes them.
- You want a weekend course. The self-paced course is about 135 hours of video, and most people take 3 to 6 months.
Who it's for
- You've done hypnosis, coaching, NLP or therapy training, and a real person still goes somewhere your script didn't plan for.
- You can find the problem in a conversation, and you want to change it there.
- You want to check whether a session did anything, with your client, instead of guessing.
- You'd rather practice with real people, with someone watching, than finish one more course alone.
