Welcome to The International Hypnosis Research Institute Web site. Our intention is to provide quality information to clinicians and the general public concerning hypnosis, hypnotherapy, and other mind/body modalities. We intend to expand our coverage to include such topics as Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), energy psychology and medicine, and other related topics. While our intention is to provide quality information derived from valid sources, including peer reviewed literature concerning significant research, this site is not presented as a source of medical or psychological advice. Clinicians wishing to expand their scope of practice or protocols based upon presented information should perform due diligence prior to use. It is our sincere hope to stimulate interest in these topics and to contribute to the evolution of the science of hypnosis. -- Tim Brunson, PhD

Henry Leo Bolduc's Accident --- Call for Assistance, Prayers, and Compassion

We just received this from Dan Cleary (via Anne Spencer, Ph.D.). Henry Leo Bolduc, a well respected hypnotherapist recently had a accident while cutting wood on his farm in Virginia. Please join us with the rest of the hypnotherapy and mind/body community showing support for Henry and his wife Joan. Below is the text of the e-mail received from Dan and Anne.

------

Henry and his wife Joanie, live in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, near a crossroads called Wytheville. They live out in the backside of nowhere and that is where Henry was on March 5th, when there was a terrible accident. Henry was home alone and out on the property cutting fire wood with a chain saw. There was a slip, a misstep and the saw came down on Henry's left arm, just above the wrist, nearly severing his hand from his arm. The chain cut through skin, muscles, bone and tissue.

Experts Recommend Hypnosis Education

Even though the art and science of hypnosis has been in existence for hundreds of years, there has been a controversy lurking regarding hypnosis education. The various hypnosis organizations have always set their own educational requirements for membership. There have been as many different educational requirements for hypnosis and hypnotherapy training as there have been professional hypnosis and hypnotherapy organizations. Finally, however, hypnosis and hypnotherapy is entering a new era, an era of quality education in the use of this ancient tool to help bring about desirable behavioral changes.

Michael Ellner


Dan Cleary

What Michael Ellner and Dan Cleary are doing with Pain Week 2007 is an amazing landmark for us all!!!

These two men have done a lot for hypnotherapy and all complementary modalities over the years but this blows the lid off!

What a great opportunity they have created for each of us personally as well as for hypnotherapy as a whole. Dan and Michael have handed us the opportunity and it's up to us all to accept it and run with it!

When you attend Pain Week 2007 you will have access to many of the most progressive and compassionate frontline healthcare providers in the world. They are the ones who want the best for their patients and took the time and spent the money to learn about the best ways to keep them comfortable. Michael and Dan will be there to teach about what we do and how their patients can benefit from hypnotherapy. 10 Medical and Dental organizations are marketing this conference to their members. (Marketing Medical and Dental HYPNOTHERAPY to members of 10 Medical and Dental Organizations – WOW and double WOW!!!)

We have the amazing opportunity to learn and network at Pain Week 2007! Imagine yourself at this conference meeting and networking with Docs who practice just down the street from you in your city!! WOW! You find out they are the best and they meet you and learn that YOU are the best (and how you can help their patients) and they will refer to you!

I know, there are a lot of conferences and we're busy people and we all have budgets, HOWEVER, you really can't afford to let this opportunity pass you by. This is an investment in your future and the future of hypnotherapy!

IMDHA is offering CEU's for Dan and Michael's class. Their full day class is September the 5th and they will also take part in programs on Saturday and Sunday, the 8th and 9th. Robert and Linda Otto will be there promoting IMDHA and YOU too!

These medical professionals need to see us there in support of what we do and what Michael and Dan are teaching. (Besides, I don't care how many times you have heard these 2 guys speak, you will come away with more great stuff every time!) Our feet are in the door and we need to support this so Hypnotherapy and Complementary Health Care can move forward. This is just too important an event to ignore! I plan to see YOU there!!! YOU just plan on it too!!!

The Ninth Annual International Energy Psychology Conference

Rupert Sheldrake, Ph.D., and Tim Brunson DCH

by Tim Brunson DCH

I recently attended the Ninth Annual International Energy Psychology Conference, which was held April 18 through 25, 2007, at the Westfield's Marriott in Chantilly, Virginia. This was the annual conference for The Association for Comprehensive Energy Psychology, a leading-edge organization of psychologists and other professions. It was good to see old friends and colleagues as well as meet many new ones. I've been interested in the fields of energy psychology and medicine since I met Fred Gallo Ph.D., David Feinstien Ph.D., and Donna Eden at The National Institute for the Clinical Application of Behavioral Medicine (NICABM) conference four years ago.
