AMERICAN COUNCIL OF HYPNOTIST EXAMINERS CONFERENCE

4/23/26 - 4/25/26

Location: The Historic Hayes Mansion

33rd International Hypnotherapy Confer

At the American Council of Hypnotist Examiners 33rd International Conference Gary will be presenting a three hour Seminar on Compounded Hypnotic Technique. A structured real-time responsive approach to hypnotherapy in which the practitioner integrates and adjusts multiple hypnotic processes with in a single continuous session, based on the client’s moment to moment responses.

Compounded Hypnotic Technique Seminar

Gary coined the name Compounded Hypnotic Technique through the pursuit of creating a method that allows practitioners to facilitate long-term behavioral change in less time by intentionally combining techniques drawn from Milton Erickson, Analytical Hypnotherapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Ego State Therapy—each contributing to an approach that is structured, teachable, and adaptable in real-time.

This seminar presents a clear and practical framework for integrating multiple hypnotic approaches within a single session, allowing practitioners to respond fluidly to the individual in front of them by drawing from and understanding the application of various techniques. This leads to a deeper understanding of how and when to layer techniques effectively within a session. Attendees will learn to enhance session depth, increase client responsiveness, and create more efficient and lasting outcomes while remaining grounded in a clinically sound and repeatable system.

Shadow Work Lecture

Gary will also be presenting a one-hour lecture on Shadow Work at this year’s 33rd Annual American Council of Hypnotist Examiners International Conference, held at the Hayes Mansion Estate in Southern California on April 25th at 3:00 PM. He will be conducting a 60-minute lecture on how clinical hypnosis can be used to identify and integrate repressed aspects of ourselves that are causing recurring patterns—often operating outside of conscious awareness and influencing behavior, emotional responses, and decision-making.

This presentation will provide a clear, structured understanding of how these patterns form, why they persist, and how hypnosis can be applied to access, process, and integrate them in a way that supports meaningful and lasting change. Attendees will gain practical insight into recognizing when behavior is being driven by unresolved internal material and how to work with it safely and effectively within a clinical or professional setting.
