Introduction to Clinical Hypnosis (Basic Workshop)

For hundreds of years, hypnosis has been a powerful tool that has allowed medical and psychological providers a means to assist their patients or clients. This course follows established Standards of Training to provide students with a basic background and understanding to begin using hypnosis within the context of their own scope of practice.

In addition to reviewing a brief history of hypnosis, this course will introduce students to the steps to facilitate a hypnotic state along with various types of suggestions for positive therapeutic change. Emphasis will be placed on how to integrate these skills into clinical practice or apply to research models.

Power Tools for Anxiety and Affect Regulation: Integration of Hypnosis,

Cognitive-Behavioral and Mindfulness Interventions in Clinical Hypnosis

Mastery and maintenance of affect regulation are often impeded by an individual’s habitual knee-jerk response to frustration, perceived threats, or environmental stressors. This workshop focuses on what affect dysregulation is, how it affects our clients and their relationships, and how it can be controlled through self-regulation tools. In addition, the workshop will have a specific focus on anxiety as a sub-set of affect dysregulation.

With the right tools, therapists can help reactive clients stay calm in stressful situations. With the right tools, clients who stress out can learn to tone down or tune out their stressors.  This workshop offers an affect regulation toolbox of techniques that incorporate hypnosis, cognitive behavioral approaches, and mindfulness. Therapists can dip into this all-purpose toolbox for interventions that can help clients manage their emotions, soften their anxiety, and navigate conflicted relationships with spouses, adult children, and co-workers.

This workshop also introduces the groundbreaking STOP Solution for calming emotional flooding.  The STOP Solution provides a methodical protocol of easy-to-use tools that can be applied when clients experience anxiety or other difficult-to-manage emotions.  The tools based on hypnosis, mindfulness and cognitive behavioral approaches have specific and individualized applicability to the most commonly experienced triggers.

Learning Outcomes:

1. Name the inter-related components of affect dysregulation.
2. State four causes of affect dysregulation.
3. Name the four major components of anxiety
4. Articulate how hypnosis promotes affect regulation
5. Demonstrate the STOP solution as an integrative model for affect Regulation
6. Demonstrate and practice four quick interventions that down regulate the nervous system
7. Video demonstration of a case demonstrating the use of the STOP Solution
8. Articulate the role of mindfulness in the treatment of anxiety and emotion management techniques
9. Delineate and demonstrate treatment protocols that integrate ego-state therapy
10. Delineate and demonstrate a treatment protocol using CBT and hypnosis
11. Construct- self-talk interventions that counteract negative self-hypnosis
12. Describe two techniques for tolerating uncertainty
13. Delineate the sequence of treatment for treatment of anxiety
14. Demonstrate the application of hypnosis for the treatment of GAD and SAD
15. Articulate and demonstrate hypnotic protocols for specific phobias and PTSD
16. Identify two interventions that can help clients tolerate the physiological manifestations of panic disorder
17. Articulate the effect of emotional dysregulation and anxiety in relationships
18. Delineate the appeal, attack, and  retreat pattern in relationships
19. Demonstrate one affect regulation technique for diminishing conflicts in relationships
20. Demonstrate a treatment protocol to enhance attunement in relationships
21. Delineate and demonstrate a treatment protocol to heal early relational  wounding
22. Increasing compliance with at home practice

NOTE: Our Advanced Workshop instructor has recommended that attendees obtain her book, The Road to Calm: Life-Changing Tools to Stop Runaway Emotions, which will be used in her presentation.

Here is a description of the book: Emotional flooding-being overwhelmed by feelings-happens in response to stress, anxiety, and life's challenges. This detailed workbook presents skills and tools on how to dial down reactivity, practice mindfulness, and focus positively on the future. Written to conquer a broad range of emotional challenges in easily accessibly language, this book is intended to help readers improve the quality of their everyday lives. Throughout the workbook, readers will find guided imagery exercises, opportunities for journaling and reflection, mindfulness practices, and matching audio exercises on the accompanying CD. A complimentary companion app also enhances readers' ability to take these exercises on the go. The result of this gentle and reliable program is resilience, well-being, and freedom from the emotional patterns that create suffering and damage relationships.  You can find the book here:
