He is known as "The Teacher of the Teachers™", since many state-approved
hypnotherapy instructors were trained by him. A veteran of over 40,000 hours of an exceptional hypnotherapy practice spanning 44 years, he received his degree in Psychology with Honors from Sonoma State University.
Randal Churchill has received international acclaim for his creative and comprehensive therapy and teaching skills. An intuitive, highly supportive therapist, he is originator of Hypnotic Dreamwork™ and has been a pioneering leader for 40 years of Gestalt therapy, regression, and advanced ideomotor methods. He has been a featured teacher at many International Hypnotherapy Conferences, and has instructed at numerous institutions in the US and overseas, including teaching psychiatrists at Napa State Hospital.
Churchill's Regression Hypnotherapy, which teaches his transforming work in overcoming the effects of trauma, has been called the definitive text on the subject of regression. His seminal Become the Dream was the first book about the integration of dreamwork and hypnotherapy. Both books won the Founder's Award for Excellence in Professional Literature. His new text, Catharsis in Regression Hypnotherapy, has received rave reviews. He is author of numerous professional articles, ranging from many American publications to the Australian Journal of Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis.
