Master class

Julie T. Anné Zeig, PhD & Jeffrey Zeig, PhD

Master Class 2026

Phoenix, AZ

When hypnotic induction meets parts work, and short term therapy meets complex trauma repair, you know you are in the “here and now” of a Zeig & Zeig Experiential Psychotherapy Master Class!  Within a deeply respectful, nurturing and supportive collegial environment, participants engage in a multi-day immersive training that is both unique and conducive to accelerated growth. “Clients improve by virtue of the experiences they live, rather than the information they receive.”  Regardless of the therapist’s theoretical orientation, integral to enacting emotional and behavioral change is becoming proficient at crafting experiential interventions that deepen and magnify the therapeutic transformative  experience.

“It was a wonderful, emotional tour de force! The Zeigs are truly Master Teachers. It was a privilege to experience this week with them.”  Master Class Participant

Safe

“Vulnerability is the vehicle by which we allow our Self to grow.

A sensitive and attuned teacher welcomes that vulnerability, and creates a respectful environment in which it is interpersonally safe to grow.”  Drs. Zeig

What to Expect

Immersive Learning

Participants learn by immersing themself in an interactive process within a four-day intensive training. Each participant will engage in multiple roles throughout the training including being:

  • a client for a peer
  • a therapist for a peer
  • a supervisor for a peer
  • a client of Drs. Julie or Jeff Zeig (or both!)

All within a deeply respectful, nurturing and supportive collegial environment that is conducive to accelerated growth.

Personal Attention & Community

Each Master Class is limited to 12 participants, providing a deeply personalized experience with abundant opportunity for growth.

Interpersonal and respectful, nurturing and supportive, the Zeigs’ Master Class is an opportunity to connect in an authentic manner with fellow clinicians in an emotionally intimate and personalized manner.

The four-day immersive experience provides ample opportunity for informal gatherings, heartfelt discussion and a foundation for continued connection and community, if desired. 

Personal Growth

In addition to significant professional growth, participants frequently report profound personal growth as a beautiful additional outcome of participation in the Zeigs’ Master Class. Witnessing and participating in real psychotherapy sessions over an intensive therapeutic block of time, provides an opportunity to identify and overcome barriers to personal and professional growth, especially with the guidance and care of the Zeigs.

“There is so much that I took away from the class – clinical learning, deep knowledge and discovery about myself, therapeutic healing, professional growth – but one thing that stands out to me that I took away from you was how I felt nurtured and strengthened in myself to witness the courage and boldness, authenticity, and empowerment that you embody and radiate from the core of your being.”  – Master Class Participant
