“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.”

Hypnotherapy/NLP Certification
The Transpersonal Hypnotherapy/NLP Certification Courses offered by the Institute for Therapeutic Learning (ITL) in the Greater Seattle, Washington area have had an excellent track record with an international student body since 1988. The mind/body holistic approach of these trainings is appropriate for personal growth as well as for professional training. We offer Certification Courses through Live Onsite Training in the Seattle Bellevue area and through Distance Learning (Independent Study) formats. All of our transpersonal hypnotherapy/NLP certification courses are recognized by the National Guild of Hypnotists. The Course Curriculum and information for both Live Training and Distance Learning Certification options is given in our free ITL Course Catalog.
The basic text for our trainings is Finding True Magic: Transpersonal Hypnosis & Hypnotherapy/NLP by Jack Elias, CHT, Founder and Director of ITL. The book has received enthusiastic reviews from medical doctors as well as members of the hypnotherapy/NLP professional community. Finding True Magic is used by many schools throughout the United States in their advanced course offerings, as well as in ITL’s hypnotherapy certification trainings.
Recommended for students interested in making hypnotherapy their career: 300 hours of certification training. We suggest completing 150 hours of live onsite training and 150 hours of distance learning (independent study) to complete the 300 hours. Students may also complete the 300 hours of training entirely by distance learning (independent study) or entirely by live onsite training. CEUs are available for all certified and non-certified programs.

Transpersonal Hypnotherapy/NLP is a radical synthesis of Eastern and Western views and techniques applied to the art and discipline of transformative communication. It weaves together depth hypnosis, regression therapy, past-life therapy, inner child work, subpersonality and archetypal transformational processes, neuro-linguistic programming, Ericksonian hypnosis, quantum hypnosis, entity releasing, shadow work, comprehensive treatment planning, and more.
These trainings were originally designed to provide Transpersonal Hypnotherapy/NLP Certification. In addition to the Certification Option, the Institute for Therapeutic Learning also offers a Non-certification Option. Certification training includes personal homework and test assessments as well as personal tutorials with Jack Elias, CHT. The Non-certification Option consists solely of personal study with the Finding True Magic Distance Learning (Independent Study) Audio/Video materials.
