She discovers that her low self-esteem, poor self-image and anger stem from the abuse she suffered from her mother and from lovers in her past lives.

I’ve had prior training as an instructor of hypnosis and have been teaching for over 10 years. After taking George Bien’s “Train-the-Trainer” course, I have been stretched beyond my limits. George is a dynamic educator and hypnotherapist who engages his students with a genuine interactive method of teaching. The class was extremely educational and a place of learning in a safe environment, filled with knowledge and fun. -Jacqueline Reed, CMT, Certified IACT Master Trainer |

The professional Hypnosis “Train-the-Trainer” certification seminar taught by George Bien is excellent! Even though I’ve been a professional hypnotherapist and trainer for many years, I learned many new techniques and approaches that helped improve my skills. I highly recommend this seminar to anyone who wants to teach hypnosis! -Arthur Emrich, MBA, Head Coach, U-Solutions, LLC, CMT, Certified IACT Master Trainer |

I have taken other Train-the-Trainer programs before. Those gave me wings. George Bien’s class has given me the power to FLY! Dynamic, Empowering, Powerful! Inspiration with a WOW! -Rev. Barbara Solimon, MCHT, CHT, CSMC, RMT, CMT, Certified IACT Master Trainer |

I took the “Train-the-Trainer” course offered by the IACT with instructor George Bien. I specifically took the course at this time because Dr. Bien was the instructor and my prior training with him was excellent. The training was dynamic energy, providing an exceptional amount of information and instruction, well-packed and decisive. Not only is the quality and content of instruction exceptional, the class interaction and participation was on-going and energizing. Furthermore, Dr. Bien’s commitment to and passion for the profession and the students is immersed in caring, ethics and integrity. I have been in the field of hypnotherapy for the past 12 years, and I am satisfied that I received the ultimate in quality education in my profession. -Rev. Gloria Stanchak Alexander, CMT, Certified IACT Master Trainer |

I came to this seminar without any expectations at all. This was because I have always been disappointed with various training programs if I attended them with expectations. This was however NOT the case with this Train-the-Trainer program, organized under the auspices of IACT, and taught by George Bien. George came across as a very passionate trainer with full panoply of knowledge within the rubrics of hypnosis and hypnotherapy. He demonstrated a very keen and heightened sense of responsibility as a paternal instructor. He responded very well to his students in breath and depth of what he teaches, never patronizing participants at all. We are leaving the class fully energized and empowered to be Certified Instructors, with the full range of skills imparted by George Bien. Accruing from the knowledge learned, I fully recommend this training for hypnosis instructors to-be. -Dr. Casey Chua, MDiv, PhD, CI, BCH, CMT, Certified IACT Master Trainer |

Having taken many hypnosis seminars from both American and UK trainers, and being a trainer myself, I am in a position to make an educated evaluation of both course content and instruction. I am profoundly impressed by Dr. George Bien’s sincerity, warmth and his passionate dedication to imparting his enormous hypnotic knowledge and training skills to his students. George will journey with you, leading you gently, yet passionately stretching you towards excellence. He will not only be your teacher – you will also gain a true friend as well. I have benefited greatly from George’s Train-the-Trainer program. There aren’t enough superlatives to describe the experience. You can’t be in better hands! -John Lee, CMT, Certified IACT Master Trainer |

As a fulltime professional hypnotherapist since 1980 and a Trainer since 1987 I have been aware of Dr George Bien and have followed his career, awards and growing reputation with interest for many years. I have had the privilige of training with some of the most highly regarded teachers of our profession, including the masterful Gil Boyne in 1990. I later organized three workshops for Gil in New Zealand. Gil spoke highly of George, and because I strongly believe in continuing to add to my skills and knowledge, I was keen to meet him and attend one of his trainings. I travelled to Miami from New Zealand "Down Under" and I'm happy to say it was well worth the time and considerable expense. George is an exceptional trainer who shares his vast knowledge of hypnosis, hypnotherapy and various therapy models unreservedly. He has the "hypnotism fever", and his enthusiasm for the "work" is infectious. With his friendly and affable personality George quickly and skilfully endeared himself to a bunch of strangers from various parts of the planet and had us feeling comfortable participating and sharing with each other. Thanks George for providing a very positive experience. Roger Saxelby, CMT, Certified IACT Master Trainer |

I am really impressed with the presentation of the program. George Bien is one of the best in the world and the best teacher-instructor I ever had in the field of Hypnotherapy. I highly recommend the 'Train-the-Trainer”' Certification Program with George Bien. -Edward Kudaverdian, CMT, Certified IACT Master Trainer |

George Bien's experience, humour, knowledge and integrity made for a very entertaining, educational and inspirational seminar. It was also a joy meeting colleagues and making new friends who had travelled from all over the world to train with George. The curriculum is excellent, and will help me take my training company forward to the next level. -Darren Marks, CMT, Certified IACT Master Trainer |

The Train-the-Trainer Certification seminar taught me more about the mind in 5 days than university courses taught me in 15 weeks! George created a concise, yet complete curriculum on teaching hypnosis, which he imparted to us with eloquent humility; not a stone was unturned, not a question unanswered. -Bridgette Boucher, MS, LMSW, CMT, Certified IACT Master Trainer |

Thank you IACT so much for the Train the Trainer class. Having been one of George's students 14 years ago, at the IACT practitioner level, I knew I was in for a great class and tons of invaluable information. The amount, quality and organization of the course is fantastic! What makes studying with George so powerful for me is the flood of enthusiasm, passion and humor that flows through him as he shares this work. He creates a safe and open environment that allows all of us to explore, practice and play with hypnosis. In addition, George instilled a confidence in me that inspires me to share hypnosis and healing with every seeker who comes my way, both as a trainer and an hypnotherapist. George, "You are truly a man of Spirit. I am honored to know you and to be you student." With deepest gratitude, -Billy Monks, LMT, CMT, Certified IACT Master Trainer |

We often refer to those who love to learn and do it well as a "sponge”'. George Bien is the reciprocal in terms of teaching/instructing. Throughout the "Train-the-Trainer" program, I was in awe (I continue to remain in this state!) of George’s ability to squeeze the sponge, if you will, to find not a 'drip”'but a flow of knowledge pouring from him. In fact, many times I thought I had gained knowledge sufficient to move forward when he immersed me with more techniques and knowledge to begin my journey. Words can not express my sincere gratitude for having the opportunity to learn from the best! -Alesia Simco, MS, CHt, CRC, LMHC, CMT, Certified IACT Master Trainer |

All I expected to get from this course was to become a Certified Trainer in Hypnotherapy, which I certainly received. Yet what I also received was an incredible wealth of additional knowledge above and beyond excellent! The IACT Train-the-Trainer seminar gave me the expertise and confidence to become a great trainer and an even better hypnotherapist. Thank you so much George! -Kip Lyon, CMT, Certified IACT Master Trainer |

George is an "Edutainer". In many learning environments learning just does not stick however in the Train-the-Trainer seminar with George Bien, I learned and I laughed, which means that what I learned will stay with me. In so many trainings, to get information, is like pulling teeth from teachers. George however, shares and gives with an open heart and mind. His passion, excitement and love for this work is so obvious and contagious. The manual is so complete, down to the most minute detail. 'What to say, when to say it, what homework to assign, when to demonstrate, when to have people practice, etc. It is a fool-proof way of making sure that all the needed information is fully covered. The videos, DVDs and CDs are so clearly designed to help the trainer develop their own confidence about the material so that they can focus on teaching and not on being self-conscious. This is a true gift. Anyone interested in training others in the science and art of hypnotherapy not only should, but must take this course! It will raise the bar on the quality of hypnotists and hypnotherapists everywhere. Thanks again George! -Eric G. Schneider, D. Min., C.Ht., CMT, Certified IACT Master Trainer> |

I've been in the field of hypnosis for over 20 years. Yet I was a bit apprehensive about attending the "Train-the-Trainer" seminar with George Bien because I wondered how I could learn the seminar material, then deliver it in a presentation, all in just 5 days. When I arrived at the seminar I was further concerned, because I was surrounded by a group of participants whose skill levels were so varied, and whose personalities just didn't seem to blend. I thought to myself, "How is this class ever going to come together?" Yet, it not only came together, it was a profound learning experience. George immediately recognized and catered to the needs of each individual, yet maintained complete control of the class at all times. He skillfully used narrative and real-world examples to enhance what he was teaching. His ability to take normally very formal and rigid material, and teach it in an informal, down-to-earth, exciting way, was wonderful and refreshing. He kept us riveted! For me, the 5-days of the "Train-the-Trainer" seminar were like a process of 500 days. George created a very safe environment for all of us. He enabled us to display our strengths, personalities, creativity, and to our surprise, abilities we didn't even know we had. It took me several weeks to truly comprehend what happened. George has a unique talent to create something extraordinary from nothing. There's no doubt that George has extraordinary charm, charisma, extensive knowledge and intuition, yet his ability to take a group, regardless of their backgrounds, and create such unity is truly a gift. This seminar is a must for anyone who wants to teach hypnosis or any subject for that matter! -Anat Greenberg, Medical Intuitive, CMT, Certified IACT Master Trainer |

The training we have received from Dr. George Bien is absolutely the best! George is an excellent communicator and awesome presenter who really knows his stuff! In addition, he is also a very decent, generous and genuine human being. I strongly and absolutely recommend George’s courses/training programs, and all his educational material to all hypnotists/hypnotherapists, or anyone who wants to learn more about the art and science of hypnotism and human persuasion. And to you George, I want to say, "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Two Thumbs Up! Absolutely Superb!" Anyone with questions about the Train-the-Trainer Certification Seminar with Dr. George Bien can feel free to contact me. Prof. Joshua W. Utomo, M.Div., D.Hyp., CMT, Certified IACT Master Trainer |
An Opportunity to study with the hypnosis trainer who put it all together:
