Our World Leading Hypnotherapy School

Randal Churchill demonstrates uncovering work in hypnotherapy with a volunteer
in a recent Level Four class. |
|
Randal Churchill founded Hypnotherapy Training Institute, one of the first licensed hypnotherapy schools in 1978. Many now consider HTI to be the
world's leading hypnotherapy school, drawing many students each semester from throughout the United States and the world. The expanding success of our classes occurs because we are continually improving a well-organized, selectively eclectic, highly experiential program, taught by exceptionally skilled, creative, experienced instructors who care deeply about our students.
We have also been leaders in the
field, developing new therapy and
teaching methods, writing leading
texts, frequently educating through
the media about the benefits of hypnotherapy, and
leading legislative battles to
protect and strengthen our profession.
Randal Churchill has provided visionary leadership
as President of
the original and largest Hypnotherapy
Certification organization, the American Council of Hypnotist Examiners.
Our personalized attention with each of our students goes a long ways. We appreciate the opportunity to assist our students to develop their abilities to achieve profound change in themselves and others. With our tradition of excellent student satisfaction and success (including through our teaching of innovative business and marketing strategies), we continue to strive to make our highly practical program even better.
Many hypnosis schools have been developed over the years. Many instructors have been trained by us. We invite you to come to a source of continual development of transformational therapy, which respects your experience, talent and creativity, and encourages the further blossoming of your healing capabilities.

Forging New Directions in an Emerging Healing Field

Cheryl
Canfield leads a powerful hypnotherapy demonstration
in Level 3. This volunteer
is coming out of her hypnotic state.
|
Including powerful live demonstrations, practice and group processes in an intimate, supportive setting, we teach safe and effective ways to do many forms of hypnotherapy in our highly practical courses. The integration of many modalities including Gestalt is also covered. Your skills are further developed by homework assignments which include outstanding texts (including award-winning cutting-edge texts designed for our program), many important class materials which are provided, and further practice. These fascinating courses are carefully designed to give you extensive training to either practice hypnosis as a career or integrate these skills within another profession in the health or counseling fields.
The supervised practice sessions
are a vital part of our program. All participants
practice hypnotic techniques
with each other, beginning the first day
of class. We encourage you to develop
your own creative induction and therapy
styles and to explore many facets of giving
and experiencing hypnotherapy.
We do our utmost to create a safe
environment for the option of powerful
growth opportunities within the context
of a well-organized training. On the way
to becoming Certified Hypnotherapists,
many of our students report dramatic
improvements in their lives.
Every new season we update and
develop our dynamic program, evolving
along with our discoveries and insights
and those of others in the field. We
listen to our students, and continue to
increase the efficiency and effectiveness
of our teaching methods.
Our commitment to teaching
an eclectic array of methods is
grounded in HTI instructors' many years
of successful experience using many
forms of hypnotherapy. We focus on
the most important issues and modalities
in substantial depth. Emphasizing
comprehensive solutions to achieve
lasting change, we work interactively
with the whole person, clearing underlying
causes of unwanted attitudes, emotions
and behavior. And we teach how
to tap into many forms of wisdom and
healing capabilities of the subconscious.
A combination of appropriate hypnotic
methods over a series of sessions will
usually yield the most profound, lasting
results for your clients.

"
far exceeded my wildest expectations
"
"Little did I know when I answered your ad that I had just set foot on a journey that would turn my life around forever. In my blind assumption that this was merely a fine school for the training of hypnotherapists, I found myself walking willingly into a safe and loving cocoon, formed by the spoken word, the warm embrace and the gentle spirit of both of you as well as the additional special teachers you brought in from time to time. In this place, I experienced and witnessed spiritual transformation and personal growth unparalleled in any other single event of my life. The depth and breadth of the wisdom and knowledge offered to your students far exceeded my wildest expectations and the deep bonding I accomplished with the class I will carry in my heart forever. Thank you from the bottom of my heart."

From Russia with Love
"It's very hard to find the words to express my profound gratitude and appreciation for everything I was privileged to witness in class. It was almost like a fairy-tale where miracles can be worked easily, effortlessly, and joyfully. Everything was performed with great skill, experience, feeling, respect, and deep love. The atmosphere was always friendly and pleasant. It's been so nice to be your student.
"Randal, your approach is so full of energy, enthusiasm, willingness to share. I loved every moment of your teaching and demonstrating. You both complement each other in a most intricate and brilliant way!
"You gave highly informative, brilliantly presented, very enjoyable lectures. The demonstrations were profound and inspiring, and the practice sessions were very useful. A big, big thank you! It's all in my heart and I know you feel it."
-Tanya Konyukhova, Hypnotherapist, Translator,
Moscow, Russia

| "
no greater gift
"
"Naturally I expected to acquire the skills necessary to become a well-trained hypnotherapist, which I most certainly acquired. But I received so much more. I received the gift of myself. Through your remarkable skill, sensitivity, love and peaceful energy you created a safe, sacred space in which I felt supported enough to delve into my inner world. You introduced me to me, and went on to show me the depth and breadth of my inner world ... of my inner being. There is no greater gift, and for this I am profoundly grateful! You truly do teach hypnotherapy from the inside out. And in my opinion, there is no other way to teach it!"
- Monica D. McDowell, Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, San Jose, CA.
