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 our 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.
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.
