Welcome to the Institute of Thought |
 Joseph Costa, Founder of the IOT
The Institute of Thought, or IOT, was founded by myself and Joni Wilson in 1980. Our purpose was to provide a system of training in hypnotherapy and self mastery, designed to serve individuals who desire to accelerate their soul's self-growth and to balance their lives.
In the early 1990's, Gisela Sommer joined the IOT, and went on to assist me in refining the Basic and Advanced transpersonal hypnotherapy certification program and mastery classes. Gisela was also involved in publication of IOT books, pamphlets and audio tapes.
The IOT branched out to Berkeley, CA in the mid 1990's. Maggie van Staveren, LCSW, CHT became the Bay Area IOT extension director from 1996-1999. In 1999 Christine Bartlett PT, CHT joined Maggie and Katherine Dresser to form a clinic for teaching and counselling based on the principles of the IOT.
Headquarters for the hypnotherapy certification and training program is the Institute of Thought (IOT) in San Diego, CA. The director of IOT is Joseph Costa, Ph.D.
The mission of the Institute of Thought is to offer facilities and therapists that provide the highest level of teaching and counseling based on aspects of transpersonal psychology and mastery training.
