Young People, Smart Phones and the Power of Social Media: Using Hypnotherapy and Somatic Experiencing to Activate Healthy Ego States and Charge Up the ‘Inner Selfie’ 

Speaker: Tobi B. Goldfus, LCSW-C, BCD 

Ms. Goldfus will present a means of assessing a client's online experiences using relational evaluation and a Social Media Assessment Tool, stages and categories of online development, hypnotic phenomena on and off-line, and ways to use down-regulation methods including her Inner Selfie technique.  Participants will learn to use the Social Media Assessment Form in assessment and treatment and to identify the Seven Stages of Smart Phone Attachment. She will also teach the Inner Selfie Technique, which utilizes the client's smartphone, trance phenomena and ego strengthening.  

Tobi Goldfus, LCSW-C,  is a presenter and author, as well as a clinical social worker, psychotherapist and hypnotherapist.  Her private practice in Germantown, Maryland specializes in the treatment of anxiety, stress and depression in adults, young adults and adolescents.  Tobi’s special interest in the impact of social media on the everyday lives of her clients has led her to create an innovative approach to treatment that not only acknowledges the influence of cyberspace time and experience there but brings that influence actively into therapy.  She consults, presents and writes about this subject as well.  In 2017 her book FROM REAL LIFE TO CYBERSPACE (AND BACK AGAIN): HELPING OUR YOUNG CLIENTS DEVELOP A STRONG INNER SELFIE, in which she elaborates on this important subject was published.
