Richard Stammler, Ph.D., is Director of the Warrenton Inner Healing Center and conducts clinical hypnotherapy in Warrenton, Virginia. He guides regular full day workshops and gives talks and lectures on this powerful healing approach. His leading edge book on advanced therapy techniques is pending publication with Amazon.com.     Rich Stammler came to the United States as a refugee in 1952 and processed through Ellis Island two years before this famous gateway to the United States closed.      Initially his father was given a janitor’s job in a local medical supply factory earning $50 a week. His parents had seen their parents lose all they had through two of the great Wars (WWI &WWII) which led his mother to staunchly believe in education. “That’s one thing they can never take away from you,” she would often exclaim.     Against the earnest advice of his high school principal, his parents mortgaged their modest home and sent Richard to college. His mother’s instinct was right and subsequently he and his three brothers all completed undergraduate and graduate degrees.     Richard completed an undergraduate degree in psychology and then received a teaching internship earning a master’s degree in the same discipline. He helped teach intelligence testing to graduate students and Applied Psychology to undergraduates. He conducted one year of post-graduate study under an Institute of Mental Health Fellowship while working as a staff psychologist at the Beatrice Home for the Retarded (as it was called then), Beatrice, Nebraska.     Because this was the Viet Nam era of the draft, he entered the Air Force and got sidetracked as a pilot and instructor pilot. He kept his hand in the psychology discipline by performing pro bono psychological testing for the Department of Defense schools and teaching Introductory Psychology at San Antonio College in San Antonio, TX.     When he left the Air Force his pledge to himself was to trade in his ‘A’ personality for something much lower in the alphabet and that pledge has been kept. This quest ultimately led to a return to psychology, Transpersonal Psychology, and he completing a Ph.D. in that discipline. He is a certified hypnotherapist (Ericksonian), trained clinical hypnotherapist (employing regression to past and future lives as well as other advanced therapeutic techniques).     He is a member of the International Association for Research and Regression Therapies (IARRT) and his association web site is at www.iarrt.org/members/NAmerica/USA/VA/rstammler.html
