Here are a few reasons why I liked it. First, it was an adjunct to the Level I material. The Level I training was completely new to me, so I hadn’t yet developed neuro-pathways for all the material. This time I had the background and have been practicing it, so it made a lot more sense to me. Second, it helped me clarify which techniques to use when, and third, we learned enough new stuff that I feel able to handle every issue that walks into my office. Karen F. Schwarz, M.A. My wife, Kay, and I attended the "Intermediate" week of training at the Milton H. Erickson Institute in Phoenix this summer (Phoenix in July - Hot!). Our consensus is that, although there was some good material presented, our training experiences with your training programs gave us far more in useful information and actual skill building. Our knowledge and skills were second to none among the 30 international participants. Thank you. This is the first time we have had a chance to make a comparison with any other training program, and we are both satisfied that both your Level I and II training are far ahead of the Milton H. Erickson Institute training. Ben Bogia, M.Div., Ph.D. American Hypnosis Training Academy is a trade name of Ron Klein and Associates, Inc.
