About Tom Silver With over 35 years of experience developing powerful, proven therapeutic hypnosis methods, Tom Silver, the Founder and Director of University Hypnosis, is considered to be a world-leading expert, instructor and educator in what has become known as Scientific Hypnosis. Tom is a clinically trained and certified Hypnotist, and past member of the American Counseling Association, American Hypnosis Association and the National Guild of Hypnotists (NGH). From years of knowledge gained from his lucrative Southern California hypnotherapy practice, coupled with his passion for researching the history and development of hypnosis, Tom founded The United States Board of Clinical Hypnosis (USBCH)® and The Tom Silver Institute of Hypnosis. The Tom Silver Institute of Hypnosis As founder and creator of the Tom Silver Institute of Hypnosis, Tom has dedicated his life to advancing the field of hypnosis through education and the development and implementation of his own scientifically verifiable hypnotic induction methods and ground-breaking hypnotherapy techniques. In what he has termed “EEG Scientific Hypnotism”, Tom discovered that, by using an electroencephalogram (EEG) during a hypnosis session, he could visually confirm the very moments when his “subject” reached the “theta” and “delta” states of brainwave activity. These are the brainwave frequency states where the “subject” proves to be the most susceptible to hypnotic suggestion and achieves the most effective results from applied hypnotherapy.
