Dear Jeff,

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the incredible and informative Basic Training Course that you offer. Each and everyday in training I felt more and more comfortable and confident with each client-centered hypnosis technique that you taught us. The learning environment was both comfortable and professional. Also, having the opportunity to not only learn the techniques through a discussion, but then later on actually practice the techniques not only helped to build the confidence in knowing that I can do this, but also created a friendly and wonderful environment between each of us as well. Also, having the time between the first class and the next class is extremely helpful, as I was able to not only practice what you had taught us in the first session, but also have the time to really absorb all the information to further build my confidence in being able to help others in this field.

I know that through the client-centered techniques you teach and the way you run your training in the ultimate goal for each client is to get to the "root cause" of the problem so true healing and enlightenment can begin is inspiring and exactly what hypnosis is and should be all about. I know that it is through your class, teachings, patience and instruction that I am confident to pursue this amazing career of helping others empower their lives through hypnosis. Thank you for the amazing opportunity to learn this amazing art from you. And please keep me posted on your past-life regression course as well. I will definitely be attending. Thank you again for the great opportunity. It was truly an honor to learn this amazing art from you. I hope to work with you again very soon. Sincerely Brianne McAtamney

I highly recommend this course, and any other course given by Paul Aurand and Jeff Cohen, to anyone interested in studying hypnotherapy. Both instructors impart their years of experience and knowledge to each student. All aspects of each hypnotherapy session is discussed and demonstrated with supervised practice and Q&A sessions. The lectures are presented in a way that build on our knowledge and understanding of hypnosis and how it should be implemented. Then these highly skilled instructors demonstrate what was just taught and every student is then given the chance to practice for themselves.

The student practice sessions are supervised with discussions afterward to ensure that each student not only understands what was taught but can also perform the procedures presented in the course material. I researched other hypnotherapy courses and after the first hour at The New York Hypnosis Center I knew that I chose the right instructors and course. Jeff and Paul are committed to provide each student with the knowledge necessary to successfully develop their own hypnotherapy practice. The compassion and professionalism that Jeff and Paul display is of the highest quality that anyone can have. All hypnotherapy topics were covered, demonstrated with practice sessions provided.

The knowledge gained, in this course, not only assisted me with my career as a hypnotherapist, but also provided me with an opportunity for personal growth. — Steven F Distefano

I truly feel that I made the right decision in taking the hypnotherapy training course at The New York Hypnosis Center. Being from Rhode Island there were many hypnosis training schools to choose from including the one just 20 miles from my home. After speaking with Jeff Cohen and Paul Aurand I began to realize what was being offered and felt that I really needed to go to New York to take your program. I am so happy that I did! Your sincerity and humor made the class fun and easy to learn and the relaxed setting made me feel comfortable and at ease. I have learned so much from you both and I know that I made the right choice in my hypnosis training. I will forever be grateful for the opportunity I had to learn from you and also for your continued support in guiding me as I build my hypnotherapy practice. — Casey Wallace

Hello Paul and Jeff,
In some way, I am certain you both know that you touch peoples’ lives with the training you offer . What you don’t know is that I walked away not really understanding what it was that I experienced, just knowing that it was good for me. It has to be good for me, to feel as well as I do. I feel more loving and compassionate. Thank you for this gift in addition to the training. What I loved about the training was the comfortable manner you both have about you, sharing all of your years of experience. You are both so capable. You took the time to answer all of my questions. I was really there to learn how to mimic Paul Aurand’s style, which I had experienced in three classes at the NGH, and knew it was the right fit for me. I knew I needed to learn more about regression work, reassuring the client, and helping the client change beliefs that no longer serve them.

Again, I stumbled on past life regression, thinking that it was just going to be an additional part of the class. It was interesting that all of the other students seemed to know they were there for that reason. This keeps happening to me and the effect is incredible each time. I stumble upon something and then it seems to change my life. Jeff, I think your kindness towards me as a student, and the encouragement you gave me helped so much in understanding the approach to take. A great take-away for me was “asking permission”. Leaving the direction up to the client and facilitating with a gentle, soft voice.

I look forward to continuing practicing using the materials Paul has developed, adopting both of your styles, and I also look forward to partaking in more classes offered by both of you. I am imagining a Paul Aurand, Jeff Cohen and Michael Ellner (?) class in February in Southern Florida ….please.
Please feel free to use any of this letter as a testimonial on your sites with my first name and last initial, if that would be useful. "— All the best, Anita G .

Hi Jeff,
I have been meaning to send you an e-mail since part 1 of our course ended last week. I can't adequately explain to you how being in your company, along with all those other wonderful people, uplifted me. I'm amazed at how spiritual everyone in that room was. It wouldn't have been something I'd expect considering the diverse mix of people, but there was an undeniable commonality in belief systems. It made me feel more like I was with family because there was such a connection. I adored everyone in that room, but I can't imagine the experience being as indelible if Bryn hadn't there. What a wonderful spirit!

I honestly feel that signing on for your course was the best thing I have ever done for myself. I feel changed. I've been telling everyone that this course changed my life. I look forward to continuing my training with you.

I also wanted to send a quick note thanking you for remembering to leave the book out for me on Saturday. I appreciate you accommodating me.

Thanks for everything. See you in November.
