Frequently-Asked Questions
Who does the Hoffman Process and why?
The Hoffman Process appeals to people who are looking for concise and real results to get to the bottom of what is holding them back from a fulfilling life. They want more love, success, creativity, peace, and empowerment in their lives.
Hoffman Process participants come from all income groups, professions, cultures, and spiritual beliefs. They range in age from 21 to 80+. Despite varied backgrounds, those who come to the Process usually have a sense of dissatisfaction with their lives and a deep desire to change.
Our self-assessment page might give you an indication of whether the Process is a fit for your current circumstances.
What are the benefits of the Hoffman Process?
The benefits of the Hoffman Process are as varied as the people who attend, but the most frequently reported areas for improvement are:
You can read first-hand accounts from people who have done the Hoffman Process here.
What do you mean by ‘getting the timing right?’
One of the reasons so many people experience positive long-term outcomes from the Hoffman Process is the time we take to ensure that participants are fully prepared for what the course entails and that it’s a fit with their current circumstances.
To provide maximum benefit, the Process requires a certain level of stability, maturity and emotional robustness. In certain circumstances, this may mean that we suggest you pause your enrolment and come at a later date.
Can I do the Process with a friend / spouse / romantic partner?
Because the Hoffman Process is a highly individualised inward journey, we do not recommend taking the Process with a friend or someone you know.
We have found that it can be hard for participants to completely focus on doing their own work if they are paying attention to or checking in with someone they know in the room. It’s more rewarding to devote your whole Process completely to you.
Couples inevitably have intertwined dynamics that are difficult to separate during the Process. So while we encourage you both to come separately (many couples do!) please don’t attempt to attend the same retreat date.
Once both people in a relationship have taken the Process, we welcome you both to attend post-Process events together.
Is the Hoffman Process therapy?
Many people have reported that the Process is an important addition to their therapeutic experience, and many therapists recommend the Process as a complement to therapy – however the Hoffman Process is not intended as a substitute for therapy.
You do not need to have any experience of therapy or personal-development work to attend the Hoffman Process.
If you are currently in therapy, we do ask that you inform your current practitioner about your choice to participate. We have resources on this site that you can share with them if that’s helpful – you’ll find those here.
Whilst several of our facilitators do have backgrounds in psychotherapy or counselling outside of the Process, their role on site is to deliver the structured, immersive experience offered. This requires rigorous training, which can take several years to complete.
Our whole team is supported by an MBACP accredited Clinical Consultant who works closely with our facilitation and enrolment teams.
Can I attend the Process in other countries / languages?
Yes, Hoffman UK is part of a global network of Hoffman Process providers, overseen by Hoffman Institute International. If English isn’t your first language, or a trip to the UK isn’t for you, there may be another Hoffman centre that can help. Find out more here
Can I claim CPD points for attending?
Yes, the Hoffman Process and Hoffman Essentials are both independently accredited for CPD with the CPD Standards Office. The Process counts as 63.5 hours of CPD credit; the Essentials is 11.5. A certificate can be issued at the end of your course upon request. Find out more here
Is there any post-Process support?
We understand how important it is that you’re supported after the Process, so we offer two Hoffman-led follow-up sessions in the first two months after your course.
After that, there are regular facilitator-led support groups, retreats, workshops and online events throughout the year.
Details of events for those who have done the Process are emailed monthly through our graduate e-newsletter, we have a dedicated private Facebook group, and an Instagram page, you’re welcome to contact the office at any time by phone or email.
Many Process attendees also choose to stay in contact with the other members of their group after the course has finished – this is entirely optional, but available should you choose.
