Great men are they who see that spiritual is stronger than any material force, that thoughts rule the world.
Emerson
Whatever we give our attention to, we attract. "Where thoughts go, energy flows." Therefore, the more deliberate we are in choosing our thoughts, the more we are able to focus our experiences in desired directions. Like attracts like, form follows idea and what preoccupies our thoughts tends to become our reality. Goal oriented creative imagery is a way of focusing one's mind to get what one wants out of life, be it health, happiness or prosperity.
Most people live, whether physically, intellectually or morally, in a very restricted circle of their potential being. They make use of a very small portion of their possible consciousness, and of their soul's resources in general, much like a man who, out of his whole bodily organism, should get into a habit of using and moving only his little finger. Great emergencies and crises show us how much greater our vital resources are than we had supposed.
William James
Therapeutic Imagery professional training and certification programs leading to qualification as a Certified Therapeutic Imagery Facilitator and a Certified Master of Therapeutic Imagery.
To train professionals in facilitating client access to the creative resources of their subconscious mind; to provide those professionals with imagery tools for use in assisting clients in the fulfillment of their lifetime potential; and to provide instruction in developing the mind/body connection for healing.
Certified Therapeutic Imagery Facilitators with the ability to guide their clients to access the inherent healing and growth potential of their physical, mental and emotional capabilities; and Facilitators who encourage and empower their clients to take an active role in the healing and growth process, stimulating the mind/body connection by developing proficiency in Therapeutic Imagery.
Welcome to the fascinating journey of helping your clients to understand and unlock the power of their own subconscious imagery! Learning a variety of Therapeutic Imagery tools, you will be able to help clients in their discovery process as they gain insight, direction, and empowerment from their imagery journeys. As a facilitator, you will learn to encourage your clients to take an active role in their healing and growth process, stimulating the mind/body connection by developing proficiency in imagery. The Therapeutic Imagery approach acknowledges the client's desire for self-direction. The meaning of the client's own personal imagery is honored and expanded. This acceptance helps clients move into confident independence. With Therapeutic Imagery Certification skills, you will facilitate clients to image their way to success as they positively move forward in life.
In this hands-on course you will learn by experiencing imagery journeys yourself, by working with others, and by demonstrations. You will find out the uses of imagery for pain control, stress reduction and healing, and a variety of general emotional well-being and success issues. Along the way and on track for the Imagery Master Certification, you will learn how and when to use and apply FreeStyle Imagery, Guided and Semi-Guided Imagery, Metaphysical Imagery, Mythic and Archetypal Imagery, and Transformational Imagery.
In grateful appreciation to the American Hypnosis Association for making this program possible, I look forward to a journey with you as we discover together the realm of infinite possibilities through subconscious imagery!

NLP Practitioner Certification Training - Weekend 4/5
2023-03-21 at 17:18 Pacific Time
Somehow I missed taking this quiz the weekend of the training - a few months ago - so my feedback is "seasoned"! The addition of MER to the NLP training was fabulous: it rounded out and deepened the course, and I remember it vividly and have practiced it with peers. I am still integrating material from this weekend and from the entire series, and am interested and grateful to notice how concepts and language I have thanks to Joe Tabbanella are seeping into every aspect of my work with clients. Thank you Joe!

Hypnosis and ADHD - Certification Course
2023-03-19 at 14:15 Pacific Time
While people face an economy of attention, this thorough and empowering class on ADHD is more important than ever because so many of our in-scope clients are dealing with information overload as a general modern day issue, let alone if they have attention issues requiring the more specific and creative solutions provided here. Thank you so much for this course. Lisa Machenberg is a stellar teacher, hypnotherapist, storyteller, and a genius conflict manager.

The course is succinct and very practical with the weight of science/peer reviewed published studies to back it all up - this imbues the practitioner/therapist with a clear 'map' and the patient/client with an increased sense of confidence and success (and inherently embedded therapeutic commands therein) - thank you.

NLP Practitioner Certification Training - Weekend 5/5
2023-03-10 at 15:26 Pacific Time
I feel like I have already said this, and yet still cannot say it enough... I am so incredibly grateful to Joe for his time, knowledge and passion! I have wanted to take this class for a couple of years but was hesitant because it seemed like all of the information was just overwhelming and I didn't have enough confidence in myself to learn it all. The way each weekend is broken down and laid foundation for the subsequential weekends was reassuring and gave me the confidence that I can retain it. I look forward to using these tools with clients, but also how much it is, and will continue, to help me personally. JOE YOU ROCK! So sad that it is over (because of the Phys in me), but so excited for what the future holds.
