Clinician attending NESCH Level 1 Virtual Workshop in Clinical Hypnosis via Zoom

2026 Max Shapiro Level 1 VIRTUAL Workshop in Clinical Hypnosis

Presented by the New England Society of Clinical Hypnosis (NESCH)
Dates:
  • January 24–25, 2026
  • February 7–8, 2026
Time:

Workshop Description:

In this intensive workshop, participants receive in-depth training in both the theory and practice of clinical hypnosis from some of New England’s leading hypnosis practitioners. The workshop is composed of a mix of didactic presentations, demonstrations, experiential exercises, and faculty-led small group practice tailored to the specific needs, interests, and learning styles of workshop participants.

Clinical hypnosis deepens the work of mind-body practices such as mindfulness meditation. Adding hypnosis allows clients/patients to become even more deeply aware of their inner states and fosters awareness of their own strengths, resources, and problem-solving abilities. There has been extensive research demonstrating its effectiveness in treating a number of mind-body conditions, and in expediting habit change, facilitating pain management, and enhancing treatment of depression and anxiety.


What to Expect:

Throughout the workshop, participants can expect a supportive, well-structured learning environment designed to build skills progressively and confidently. You will experience:

  • Clear and practical instruction in hypnotic principles
  • Faculty demonstrations of induction, utilization, and reorientation
  • Guided opportunities to practice hypnosis in supervised small groups
  • Feedback tailored to your clinical background and learning style
  • A collaborative environment grounded in curiosity, respect, and clinical excellence

Learning Objectives:

Upon completion of the workshop, participants will be able to incorporate the following in their clinical practice:

  • Identify and demonstrate four ways to facilitate hypnotic trance and appropriately reorient patients from a trance state.
  • Demonstrate three strategies for facilitating intensification of trance.
  • Describe four conditions in which hypnosis might be successfully utilized.
