Workshop Outline This workshop will showcase advanced techniques in both psychological and medical hypnosis. Focal areas will include: novel induction techniques, innovative uses of hypnosis, focal treatment of mind-body problems, and hypnotic treatment of trauma.
This will be a highly practical workshop with specific techniques, protocols and hypnotic scripts provided
for the topic areas discussed, and then rehearsed, with at least one third of the workshop time spent in interactive practice. The expectation is that participants will learn and then practice new approaches that can be immediately implemented at the conclusion of the workshop. Objectives By the end of the workshop, participants should be able to:
1. Identify a hypnotic strategy to apply to the treatment of insomnia;
2. Identify benefits of hypnosis for surgery preparation;
3. Cite two examples of hypnotic techniques for treatment of trauma
4. Identify a new protocol for the treatment of pain
