“Since 1979 I have worked in residential treatment centers, mental health centers, and private practice with individuals, couples, groups and families. Nothing has been as effective in promoting change in people's lives as the techniques I learned in [Jack Elias’ Finding True Magic] course.”

Distance Learning: Hypnosis Training and Hypnotherapy/NLP Training
The Finding True Magic Distance Learning trainings were originally designed to provide certification in the practice of Transpersonal Hypnotherapy/NLP. The Institute for Therapeutic Learning now offers a Non-certification Option as well as a Certification Option.
Each Phase of the course is offered at two different rates, based on whether you are taking the Certification Option or the Non-certification Option.
Non-Certification Option includes the Distance Learning audio/video study materials only. No consultations with Jack Elias, CHT are included. Learn more
Certification Option includes Distance Learning personal homework evaluation, test assessments and a 1-hour tutorial with Jack Elias on each phase of the course (total of 6 tutorial hours). Learn more
Here you can review a partial list of topics covered in each of the 6 phases of the Finding True Magic Distance Learning (Independent Study) Hypnotherapy course. The per-phase course option should be taken in sequence, as the material is not strictly compartmentalized from phase to phase. For example, NLP and Ericksonian principles and their correlation with transpersonal perspectives pervade the entire course. It is important to experience the developmental flow of the class from day to day.
What may look basic or elementary in this outline may not be elementary for you at all — due to the integrated transpersonal perspectives brought to bear, based on the instructor’s 35+ years of study and practice of Eastern meditative traditions. These new and unusual perspectives are what make the course suitable even for trained hypnotherapists who may look at the curriculum headings and think, “I’ve already learned that.” Since 1988 many highly trained hypnotherapists, NLP practitioners and traditionally trained psychotherapists have been happily surprised at the new depth of understanding and competency they have achieved by taking this course.
