EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND

After I completed my studies to become a Licensed Psychologist at Oslo University I’ve completed a 3 year education to become a Licensed Hypnotherapist at Stockholm university.
I’ve also completed a 3 year education for medical doctors, dentists and Psychologists to be specialized in Clinical hypnosis. After I completed this I’ve also worked as a teacher on this education.

EXPERIENCE BACKGROUND

Over more than 30 years I’ve been working with people, individually and in groups, with different backgrounds and cultures.
Over the years I have developed my own way of working bases on techniques developed by the famous hypnotist Milton Erikson MD combined with eastern philosophies.

I have worked with business leaders, sports women and men at the elite level (including Olympic teams), companies, organizations and individuals. Over the years I have developed my own methodology in the field of mental training and hypnosis primarily with Milton Erickson as inspiration.
I have organized courses and conferences on mental training, personal development and leadership training for athletes and executives.
Moreover, I have participated in programs on hypnosis on television and been interviewed about hypnosis on radio and in various magazines such as Chefen and Modern Psykologi (see headline: Intervju i Modern Psykologi).

I have also lectured on trauma treatment using hypnotherapy at various international conferences on clinical and experimental hypnosis.
I have written articles and books about cognitive self-hypnosis and hypnotherapy with a colleague. One of the books (The Waterglass) is for sale on line.

JACK FARRAS

Jack opened the first ever Bikram Yoga studio in Bali in 2008, and now brings to the glorious Island of Phuket his vast experience, passion and tremendous energy.He truly connects to each and every student, and teaches with heart and love, to believe in yourself, because that is where true strength lies. Jack considers himself a guide rather than a teacher. After all, ” Yoga is not about touching your toes, but what we learn on the way down”.
