I am so glad to have the opportunity to do what I love - teach clinical applications of hypnosis and strategic psychotherapy! Most rewarding is how regularly the people who attend my trainings evolve a similar passion for the many ways hypnosis can be integrated into their clinical work.

My last training in San Diego and the last two trainings in Australia sold out more than six months in advance. Early registration is advised as space is limited in these trainings. Our training in California has no more than 24 participants, and the other trainings are limited to no more than 36 people.

If you're interested in joining us, please feel free to contact Diane with questions (760-402-9100 or dianeyapko@yapko.com) or register online by clicking any of the links above.

I hope you'll consider joining us in the location of your choice. We always have a great time, and the development of a new community of friends and colleagues is a wonderful bonus you'll enjoy.

Have you heard about the Therapist Leadership Virtual Conference, May 14-25, 2012?
I'll tell you a bit about it here, but you can read more at:
 
This conference is an opportunity - at no charge to you - to update yourself
clinically, to reenergize with new self-care ideas and to think outside of the box and be
open to new ideas in order to better serve our clients.

This May, at the Therapist Leadership Virtual Conference, therapists from all over the
world will meet together and share the same experience - all via the phone and internet.
This year's theme is "Expanding the Possibilities".

Why virtual?

Time is money when you are a therapist. Attending a virtual conference like this one
fixes the problem of missed work. You can attend this conference from the comfort of
your home or office. The conference will be broadcast via live video streaming as well as
over the phone on a conference call bridge line.

So who is on the faculty and what will we
learn?  

Topics will include:
* Managing the Betrayal of Infidelity 
* Hypnosis and Psychotherapy vs Medication for Depression
* Developing the Buddah Brain - One simple Practice at a Time
* Out of the Box Thinking for Life: Being Free is Just a Choice
* Law and Ethics: Dancing With the Risks (a one hour preview)
* What About Adding Coaching as An Income Stream to Your Menu of Services?
and presentations on prosperity, budgeting and more.

The faculty this year includes:

Ellyn Bader, Warren Berland, Steve Frankel, Rick Hanson, Keeley Kolmes
Michael Yapko, Casey Truffo and Andrea J. Lee, Elyse Hope Killoran
Shawn Shepheard, Jeremie Miller

I've participated in this conference before and really enjoy the way Casey brings out interesting and informative topics for discussion.
 
My presentation/conversation with Casey will be on May 18th.
I hope you'll join the conference.
