Nitin has also pioneered the creation of approaches like Cognitive Hypnotic Coaching® (CHC) and Cognitive Hypnotic Psychotherapy® (CHP). Both are based on incorporating different schools of psychology and are the latest in the field of mind sciences with the help of hypnosis. CHC is mainly garnered towards life coaches for mental wellbeing. CHP is towards psychologists who work with intense negative emotions and traumas. The above-stated approaches utilize the proprietary Soft Sea Framework which is the brainchild of ICHARS.
For psychologists, another innovative technique is the SVIT which focuses on helping clients accept and acknowledge their present problems whilst exploring their core issues.
