What students say about training with the Institute for Therapeutic Learning

“Of the five nationally recognized hypnotherapy training programs I have been certified in, my time with Jack Elias has been the most valuable. His gift to you is so much more than just hypnotherapy, NLP, or psychoanalysis…delivered with great heart, spirit, and humor.”

- Putnam MacDaniel, Transpersonal Clinical Hypnotherapist, Former President, WA State Chapter, National Guild of Hypnotists

“This course helped me connect more deeply with my inner wisdom and compassion. It gave me easy-to-use techniques to assist patients and their families to draw on their own powerful inner resources to deal with illness and loss. It’s been 10 years since I took the course for the first time. What I learned continues to enrich all aspects of my life.”

- Carol M., RN, CHT

“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.”

- Patricia Ann Williams, MD, Psychiatrist and Psychotherapist

“The class atmosphere is ideal for learning: relaxed, informal, yet rigorous. The course material was presented lucidly and unfolded naturally. The text will continue to be a resource for me for a long time… You are a teacher in the truest sense of the word. The passion, integrity, and depth you bring to these teachings has moved me deeply.”

- Jake L., CHT, Designer, Builder
