Recent research proves your language, if specifically crafted, can affect or even change brain function in your patients. Therapeutic communication, such as hypnosis and hypnotic language strategies, is emerging as a core therapy in virtually all health-related fields. This training by Jane Parsons-Fein, for state-certified professionals only, is certified by the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis (ASCH), one of the three top hypnosis-training accrediting bodies in the world. The National Association of Social Workers (NASW) has also approved the training. Jane's bio describing her experience and qualifications is attached.

In her 4-weekend training, participants will:
  • acquire solid grounding in the history of hypnosis and development of traditional hypnotic therapies
  • learn to integrate new research findings into their own creative therapeutic repertoires
  • study Jane's rare Erickson videos and practice his utilization of patients' unconscious experiential resources to heal themselves
  • explore through videos, and experiment with, the varied hypnotic approaches of noted mind-body therapists Virginia Satir, Moshe Feldenkrais and Kay Thompson, DDS. Jane studied with all three as well as Erickson and enriches this training with their discoveries
  • experience didactic, demonstration, extensive practice and group support in a safe learning environment conducted under careful supervision.
"Our goal is to become master healers and more human communicators, not just achieve skill in hypnotic techniques. As we learn to use words, voice tone and body language to positively affect patients' unconscious understandings, we also become unforgettably aware of the power of our own communication."

JANE A. PARSONS-FEIN, LCSW, BCD, DAHB


Jane Parsons-Fein, LCSW, BCD, DAHB, is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), Board-certified Diplomate of the American Board of Examiners in Clinical Social Work (BCD), and Diplomate of the American Hypnosis Board for Clinical Social Work (DAHB). A graduate of Smith College and the Columbia School of Social Work, she is President of the Parsons-Fein Training Institute for Psychotherapy and Hypnosis in New York, which integrates with her own training model the hypnotic approaches of Milton H. Erickson, MD, Virginia Satir, Moshe Feldenkrais and noted hypnotic language expert Kay Thompson, DDS. Jane studied with all these outstanding innovators and has now trained hundreds of successful professionals.

Jane came to her career in hypnosis after working in traditional psychoanalytic therapy for twelve years in the Department of Psychiatry at New York's Mount Sinai Hospital. She then discovered the work of Milton Erickson, which gave a new direction to her life and practice. In 1981 she co-founded an organization focused on his approaches where she became training director and, in addition, directed an ongoing series of trainings in Stockholm after 1995. She founded PFTI in 1997. She has also maintained a private practice from the beginning, working with individuals, couples and families.

An accomplished speaker, Jane has given many presentations to conference audiences in the US and abroad, including in Germany, Italy, Poland and Nepal. Groups in the US include hospitals in New York and California, Feldenkrais Society of New York, American Society of Clinical Hypnosis, The Society of Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis, International Human Resources Learning Network, and the Association of Employee Assistance Programs.

Jane also writes and takes an active role in professional organizations. Her book, LOVING IN THE HERE AND NOW: Recreate Your Relationship and Bring Love Back Into Your Life, was published by Penguin Tarcher in 2004. She is currently President of the Manhattan Society of Clinical Hypnosis and on the Executive Committee of the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis.

"It is a joy to bring therapeutic hypnosis into the lives of my clients and patients, because in using it they discover their own inner creativity and power. We all go into trance all the time, and when people recognize this absorptive part of themselves, they can deepen their relationship with themselves and with others."
