    The Clinical Hypnosis Society of New Jersey is pleased to welcome the Dr. Robert Voyle, Psy.D.

    Please join us on Saturday,  July 12, 2025 as Rob presents:  "Using Language & Metaphor to Clarify Core Purpose and Meaning"

    This program will be held virtually on Zoom from 11AM to 1PM EDT.
    The Clinical Conversations are free to members of ASCH, its component sections, SCEH, and ISH.  There is a $15 fee for nonmembers.  All proceeds go to fund the Stephen R. Lankton Scholarship Award.


    Program Description:

    Language and metaphor play an important role in clinical hypnosis and especially in the work of Milton H. Erickson, his students, and those following. Through a mixture of humor, storytelling, and demonstrations, Rob Voyle will teach us/remind us about the science and art of asking powerful questions. These questions have the power to open us up to our connection to the source of our life (whatever/whomever that is for you and your clients/patients).  Rob will share how to utilize metaphor to help people discover their core purpose and understand the violation of a client’s core purpose as a source of distress. When we clarify our core purpose, it becomes a touchstone and provides a sense of meaning for us and all those with whom we live, work, and love. 

    About the Presenter

    Rob Voyle, Psy.D. is an Episcopal priest, psychologist, and executive coach. His original training was as a mechanical engineer and he hasn't strayed far from his engineering roots as he describes his work as: "engineering practical solutions to help people resolve their problems as they discover and manifest their purpose in the world."


    Rob is the founder of the Appreciative Way a synthesis of: 

     * Appreciative Inquiry,

     * The change work of Milton Erickson and his students, especially Steve Andreas,

     * Eastern and western Contemplative Spirituality.


         Rob was an original faculty member, and taught for five years at the College of Executive Coaching where he taught and coached hundreds of personal and executive coaches how to use appreciative inquiry as a basis for their coaching work.

         Rob's personal mission is to be "helpful, humorous, and healing," which is manifested in a passion for conducting training and consultation. He is a gifted storyteller and has a penchant for mischievously confronting listeners with new insights that are both affirming and liberating.
