Welcome to the Hypnotic Idea Exchange!

Join us for the Hypnotic Idea Exchange (HIE) meeting, where leading experts and practitioners convene to exchange helpful ideas, stories, metaphors and techniques in the field of hypnosis. This dynamic virtual gathering, initiated by the NC, Northern VA, NJ, and Clinical Hypnosis Association Component Sections of ASCH, has become a cornerstone for hypnosis learning and community building since its inception in May 2020.

At HIE, participants gain invaluable insights from esteemed panelists, including luminaries like Michael Yapko, Irving Kirsch, and Jeff Zeig, among others. These experts share practical ideas and lessons they have learned in their careers using hypnosis, empowering attendees to enhance their hypnotic practice and personal lives alike. With 47 successful programs to date and ratings consistently a "10", the impact of HIE resonates worldwide.

Structured to maximize engagement, each two-hour session features compelling presentations from one or two panelists, followed by interactive breakout discussions and practice sessions. Attendees not only glean wisdom from the presentations but also forge meaningful connections within the hypnosis community. Whether you're a seasoned practitioner or new to the field, HIE provides a supportive environment for growth and camaraderie.

Typically drawing 70 to 100 participants per session, with hundreds more signing up, HIE offers flexibility for those unable to attend live by providing access to recordings. Don't miss this opportunity to join a global network of hypnosis enthusiasts, exchange ideas, and deepen your practice. Register now to secure your spot at the next HIE -- falling on the second Monday of each month at 7:30 pm ET. We hope you can join us in the advancement of hypnosis innovation and community building.
