A Brief History
Certified Hypnotherapy Training School (CHTS) is the Realization of a Dream & Long-Term Goal... After attending hypnotherapy school over 30 years ago, W. Dennis Parker wanted the opportunity to teach others about the natural, God-given trance abilities we all possess. When trance is used correctly, hypnosis & hypnotherapy become an amazingly effective form of pondering & meditation. Tremendous benefits flow from understanding both the principles & processes of hypnotherapy & being able to employ them personally & professionally. It is about learning how to work with both the conscious & subconscious minds at one & the same time.
According to Dennis, his first experiences with hypnotherapy transformed his life:
I became a better husband, father, salesperson & manager. My experiences with hypnotherapy were overall immensely life & career-enhancing.”

Then in 2011 on Dennis’ 60th birthday, came a new life calling after a day of great reflection.
When I woke up I had a very clear voice come into my mind which said that 'three-fourths of my life was over & if I didn't get going on what I was prompted to do in starting a hypnotherapy school & helping others learn how to be hypnotherapy practitioners in the ways I have developed & discovered, then I was going to miss out on fulfilling my earth life's mission's that I was sent to achieve!' You could call it a ‘reality check,’ since I had a great awareness of my need to start doing what I have always known I was supposed to do. So, I set some goals & wrote a new personal mission statement.”
Part of Dennis' Mission Statement States:
-
​“I will accomplish more good, be a more positive influence with more people & assist more people to better their lives & fulfill their greatest desires, dreams & goals in the last 20 years of my life than I have in the previous 60 years combined...
-
​ I will do this by coaching & teaching others the self-hypnosis & hypnotherapy or pondering & mediation trance-utilization Protocols & Techniques that I have personally developed & used over the years to experience my own greatest successes thus far...
-
​ I will teach these personal problem-solving techniques that have changed & enhanced my life to as many people as want to learn them.”
In 2011, Dennis & his wife Susie Parker started Certified Hypnotherapy Training School (CHTS) with Dennis serving as the full-time Positive Mind Management Certified Clinical (PMMCC) Hypnotherapist, plus the ACHE Board Certified Hypnotherapist Examiner & Primary Instructor & School Operator. Since opening its doors ten years ago, hundreds of people have graduated & become successful Practitioners of Dennis' EXCLUSIVE Positive Mind Management Certified Clinical (PMMCC) Hypnotherapy Method - which has then in turn helped thousands of people from all over the world change their lives for the better through these powerful self-improvement techniques.

I'm just an old cowboy in a suit who has learned how to do a few things. But those things that I do, I have worked hard at learning to do them exceptionally well. Over the years, I’ve been open to inspiration & willing to experiment with hypnotherapy processes. In doing so, I have been divinely guided in developing powerful new protocols that are simple to understand, easy to teach & fun to use.
As a PMMCC Hypnotherapist, you will be able to help your clients achieve wonderful results as you apply these proven processes in your own Positive Mind Management Certified Clinical (PMMCC) Hypnotherapy Sessions."
All in all, it is Dennis's greatest desire is to help people fast track their success in both their business & personal lives by sharing the ground-breaking PMMCC Hypnotherapy techniques that he has learned over the past 30+ years of clinical hypnotherapy work.
HE IS KNOWN FOR ENCOURAGING STUDENTS TO GET OUT OF THE OBSERVER’S CHAIR:
We need hypnotherapists who are willing to get in & do their own work first & learn hypnosis from the inside out. You don’t learn this work from a book; you learn it best from the results you achieve personally by experiencing it yourself as you apply it to your own problems & achieve your own desired changes.”

He works diligently at educating others about the benefits of trance hypnotherapy, helping people to understand that hypnosis can be an effective & powerful tool in overcoming life’s challenges & concerns. He has successfully overcome many of his own life challenges by implementing the principles of hypnosis that he now teaches to others.
If you want to make significant gains in your life that are geometric in nature, take the required time to learn and practice the principles of self-hypnosis. It will get you where you want to go faster than anything else I have ever experienced. After all, what do you have to lose except a few bad habits or a non-productive belief or two?”
TESTIMONIALS
"As a school psychologist, most of the programs I have are maybe 10 sessions long or 16 sessions long, so it takes a good deal of time. I watched Dennis do in one or two hypnotherapy training sessions what it takes me weeks to accomplish. I would recommend this school (CHTS) to anyone that wants to learn more about themselves or wants to learn how to help people to change their behaviors."
​
Deanne Smith
School Psychologist, PMMCC Hypnotherapist
"Hypnotherapy school teaches self-mind management skills, allowing individuals to move forward in many aspects of their lives. Changing perspectives, by using the tools learned through hypnotherapy, fosters lifelong habits of freedom and growth. Experiencing this personally, in addition to helping others find the power within them to find their own answers, has been beyond rewarding!"
