About NESCH
The New England Society of Clinical Hypnosis (NESCH) is a distinguished organization dedicated to advancing the practice and understanding of clinical hypnosis among healthcare professionals. As a component society of the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis (ASCH), NESCH offers a robust platform for education, consultation, and community engagement.
NESCH brings together physicians, dentists, psychologists, social workers, nurses, and other licensed clinicians who integrate clinical hypnosis into patient care. Our programs emphasize ethical, evidence-based practice and practical skills you can apply in real clinical settings.
Our Mission
We are committed to making clinical hypnosis an accessible therapeutic tool for practitioners from all professional backgrounds. Through training and community support, NESCH empowers clinicians to integrate hypnosis into their practices in ways that:
- Enhance patient care and comfort
- Support better clinical outcomes
- Expand the acceptance and application of hypnosis in healthcare
Educational Opportunities
Since our inaugural workshop in 1956—featuring the esteemed Milton Erickson, MD—NESCH has been at the forefront of clinical hypnosis education. We offer a continuum of learning experiences:
- Annual Workshops: Level 1 in the fall, Level 2 in the winter, and Advanced trainings in the spring.
- Quarterly Meetings: Live presentations on hypnosis and related topics that encourage discussion and ongoing learning.
- Study Groups & Seminars: Smaller groups that focus on specific clinical applications, typically led by NESCH faculty.
