NESCH Events
NESCH is committed to providing high-quality educational opportunities for healthcare professionals interested in clinical hypnosis. We offer a range of workshops, webinars, and meetings throughout the year that emphasize ethical, evidence-based practice and practical skills you can bring directly into patient care.
Events are open to licensed healthcare professionals and graduate students in relevant programs. Most offerings are open to non-members at a higher fee, while NESCH members enjoy preferred pricing and early access.
Annual Workshops
Each year, NESCH hosts comprehensive multi-day workshops that build a strong foundation in clinical hypnosis:
- Level 1 (Fall): Foundational training for clinicians beginning their hypnosis education.
- Level 2 (Winter): Intermediate coursework that builds on Level 1 skills and integrates hypnosis more deeply into clinical practice.
- Advanced (Spring): In-depth training for experienced practitioners focusing on specialized applications and complex cases.

- Quarterly meetings that feature 3-hour presentations by experienced faculty and invited speakers.
