The Process has produced lasting benefits since 1967 to more than 50,000 participants worldwide. Research indicates that emotional learning occurring early life largely shapes our adult experiences. Whether we are aware of it or not, our very sense of self is more strongly influenced by early life conditioning than most of us ever imagine. This includes our capacity to have happy and successful relationships, career, health and spiritual well being. The negative aspects of this conditioning produce unwanted outcomes and self-defeating behaviors in our adult lives. Hoffman Institute programs are designed for participants to release this negative conditioning and access their untapped resources of power, wisdom and creativity. Participants can discover their best self and make the changes they really want.
