Speaker: Laurence Sugarman, MD, FAAP, ABMH 

Dr. Sugarman is Research Professor and Director of the Center for Applied Psychophysiology and Self-regulation in the College of Health Sciences and Technology at RIT. He produced an internationally acclaimed video-documentary, Hypnosis in Pediatric Practice: Imaginative Medicine in Action, and has authored over 40 papers and book chapters. He co-authored the text, Therapeutic Hypnosis with Children and Adolescents. His new book, coauthored with Julie Linden and Lee Brooks, is Changing Minds with Clinical Hypnosis: Narratives and discourse for a new health care paradigm.

This  workshop will provide a unique opportunity to take a "deep dive" into  re-inventing clinical hypnosis in view of our current understanding of psychobiology—from its effect on gene expression to encouraging systemic plasticity of the embodied mind. How will it be different? How will we interact differently with the person in care? Will we still be using inductions and scripts? In this workshop we will rediscover hypnosis with beginners’ minds. We will encounter hypnosis not as a procedure or ritual, but as a set of basic skills that build rapport, disrupt the encoding of experiential engrams, then cultivates resources for renewal. With video, demonstration, and discussion, we will discover new and powerful ways to integrate hypnosis skills into any clinical encounter. Instead of “doing hypnosis” we will become creatively inspired to “be hypnotic.” Those of you who have heard Dr. Sugarman present  in the  past  will welcome this opportunity to experience an in-depth exploration of his approach.
