Learning hypnotherapy, final exam

My final exam for hypnotherapy is over now. It was a pretty long day, starting off with a practical exam to demonstrate taking somebody into trance, some ego strengthening, then bringing them back to full awareness. As well as some 'mock' client issues to show how you would deal with a clients fears or misconceptions about hypnosis, the kind of details you would take for a case history and other things along those lines (basically everything you would cover in the pre-hypnosis interview-ish part).

The practical exam was followed by four written papers, during which I discovered that I don't actually have the ability to write anymore. Thanks to all my time using computers these days, I think this is the first time I've wrote more than a few words on paper for several years. The legibility of my writing seemed to deteriorate rapidly after a paragraphs or so. Hopefully it's all understandable.

I was a lot more confident about these papers before taking them, partly because I had decided to try and pass theses papers without any revision at all. If I do fail any of them, I'll be able to have a second attempt shortly afterwards (I did check this before hand) which I will revise for. I'll be a lot more pleased if I pass first time through.

I found out on the day that I passed the practical examination, and I'll get the results of the written papers in a few weeks. Fingers crossed.
