Each cohort week, Nicholas, Enter the Loop®'s Lead Mentor, runs an evening session for people in other time zones: every cohort Thursday at 7 PM ET, practice and Q&A on that week's material. It's his Thursday Mentor Room, lined up with the cohort.

The ten weeks

What you'll practice, week by week.

One live session a week with Timothy, Thursdays, 1 to 3 PM ET, March 4 to May 6, 2027.

  1. Week 1

    Feel ETL

    The Essential Enter the Loop® Experience. You feel the method for yourself first, so you know it from the inside.

  2. Week 2

    Listen for the Doorway

    Notice the moment in a conversation when a way in opens up.

  3. Week 3

    Keep It Clean

    Ask for consent, check the person is okay, and stay calm yourself.

  4. Week 4

    Establish the Field: Listen and Observe

    Listen and watch closely, so you can see how the problem works.

  5. Week 5

    Clean Entry into the Loop

    Use simple, clean questions to step inside the problem with your client.

  6. Week 6

    LORRA: Run the Conversational Engine

    Listen, Observe, Repeat, Relate, Ask. The steps you repeat to help your client go deeper.

  7. Week 7

    Close and Open Loops

    Help close the old problem loop, open a new one, and test that it changed.

  8. Week 8

    When Words Are Not Enough

    Notice what the body and the space around your client show you, not just the words.

  9. Week 9

    Spatial Shifts

    Work with where things sit in your client's space, and see what changes when they move.

  10. Week 10

    Putting All the Parts Together

    Work with parts, and put every step together in one full session.

Then your evaluation. You submit a recorded session, and it's evaluated against the course standards. If it isn't there yet, you can resubmit.

Your evaluation

Certification is earned.

To earn Certified ETL Practitioner, you submit a recorded session. It's evaluated against the course standards. If it isn't there yet, you can resubmit. Buying Foundations Live doesn't guarantee certification. It's a training credential, not a license. Inside the community, we call our certified practitioners Certified Loopers, and the crest comes with it.

What's included

Everything that comes with Foundations Live

  • Ten live weeks with Timothy. Thursdays, 1 to 3 PM ET, March 4 to May 6, 2027. Each live week is recorded, and the replay is shared.
  • An evening session with Nicholas every cohort Thursday at 7 PM ET, for people in other time zones: practice and Q&A on that week's material.
  • Your evaluation to become a Certified ETL Practitioner.
  • A year of the Annual Pass: the self-paced Enter the Loop® course (about 135 hours of video), the Vault, the Loop Library, the community, Peer Practice, Timothy's monthly live Q&A, Timothy Time twice a month and the Mentor Room with Nicholas twice a week.

Your Annual Pass starts the day you join and runs for a year. It doesn't renew on its own. Before it ends, we'll invite you to continue.

During the cohort, Timothy Time moves off Thursday at 1 PM, so it never clashes with the live weeks. We'll share the new time before the cohort starts.

Not included: private 1:1 sessions or CE credits.

Chris Lee, Enter the Loop® student

Sally's message to Timothy: Hi Timothy! After experiencing two truly excellent sessions from your students using ETL I am suddenly very interesting in doing the training. I thought I saw something from you recently on signing up before an upcoming shift, but I can't find it now. Can you point me to it? Thanks! Later: They were both genuinely powerful sessions.

“…After experiencing two truly excellent sessions from your students using ETL… They were both genuinely powerful sessions…”

Sally, after two practice sessions with ETL students

Anne McHugh's Facebook post: What an amazing phenomenal session just now with Timothy and several of this group. Thank you so much I'm totally a newbie but what I have learned in these last few sessions has taken my understanding of not just myself but for all potential clients to another level. Appreciate everyone of you

Claire Cohen's Facebook recommendation: Timothy is changing the game. Never have I seen information on indirect and conversational hypnosis so neatly synthesized and summarized. ETl has become a permanent staple in my work and my casual conversations. Highly recommend!

“…The balance between the theoretical foundations and their practical applications… everything is perfect! But what sets this course truly apart is its practical applicability…”

Questions people ask before joining

What time is it where I live?

The live weeks are Thursdays, 1 to 3 PM ET. ET is New York time.

US clocks change on March 14, and UK and EU clocks change on March 28. If you live outside the US, your local start time may move during the cohort, so check it again after those dates.

Every cohort Thursday at 7 PM ET, Nicholas also runs an evening session for people in other time zones, with practice and Q&A on that week's material.

What if I miss a week?

Each live week is recorded, and the replay is shared, so you can catch up.

I'm new to Enter the Loop®. Can I join?

Yes. A year of the Annual Pass comes with Foundations Live, and it starts the day you join. That includes the self-paced course, so you can start the lessons and come to Peer Practice and the Mentor Room before the live weeks begin on March 4.

How does the evaluation work?

To earn Certified ETL Practitioner, you submit a recorded session. It's evaluated against the course standards. If it isn't there yet, you can resubmit.

Buying Foundations Live doesn't guarantee certification. It's a training credential, not a license.

What's your refund policy?
  • A full refund if you ask within 7 days of paying. On 3 payments, the 7 days count from your first payment.
  • The cohort runs with 6 or more people. If it doesn't run, you choose: a full refund, or keep your year of the Annual Pass and we refund everything except $695. If you upgraded from the Annual Pass, you already have your pass, so we refund everything you paid for Foundations Live.
What can I use this for, and when should I refer someone on?

Hypnotists, hypnotherapists and coaches use Enter the Loop® with everyday problems: procrastination, stress, a mind that won't switch off at night, and the habits that keep someone stuck.

It isn't a cure for anything, and it doesn't replace medical or mental-health care. If someone brings you a medical or mental-health condition and your license doesn't cover it, refer them to someone whose license does. If you are licensed, your license and your board set your scope, not us. The rules differ from place to place, so check the ones where you work.

What isn't included?

Private 1:1 sessions or CE credits.

I'm a founder at $390. What happens to my price?

You keep it. Joining Foundations Live never cancels or replaces your $390 Annual subscription.

And because you're on the Annual Pass, what you paid comes off Foundations Live: you pay $2,105. Email [email protected] and we'll send your upgrade link.

Already an Enter the Loop® alum? The alumni retake price for the 2027 cohort is $495. You also keep everything you were promised: the course, the community, the practice rooms and the monthly Q&A. To use it, email [email protected] and we'll send your link.
