"Damaging stories about ourselves are sort of like myths that no one really wants to read but that get knitted together anyway into the collection of stories that become our false life narrative. Trauma is the author of these false narratives, and if we don't take an active hand in the editing process, we'll be stuck with stories that work against us."

At the Academy of Clinical Hypnotherapy, we believe in the power of the subconscious mind and in the people who dedicate their lives to helping others heal through it. Our mission is to provide the highest standard of modern, evidence-based hypnotherapy training so our graduates can make a real and lasting impact in the lives of the people they work with.
Our curriculum was developed in collaboration with industry leaders, combining the best of neuroscience, psychology, and clinical hypnotherapy. It’s continually updated to reflect the latest research and therapeutic approaches, ensuring that every student graduates with the most current, comprehensive education possible.
Our Code of Ethics, Constitution, and Grievance Policy are more than nice ideas. They were written and peer reviewed with the public interest in mind and a deep desire in our hearts to elevate the esteem of hypnotherapy within the medical system. We are committed to a long term vision of widespread public accessibility to hypnotherapy as a safe, non-invasive treatment and preventative therapy for a broad spectrum of mental, physical, emotional and spiritual concerns.

"We are not stuck in the patterns that we're in right now. We can change those patterns. We can shape our system toward more regulation, toward more ability to feel safe in connection, to move through the world in a different way. And the biology, the research, tells us that this is in fact true."
