All webinars take place on Fridays (unless otherwise noted) from 12:00–1:30 PM EST USA. Friday, February 12, 2021
Hypnosis, Anxiety, and Children: Opportunities Beyond RelaxationPresenter: Lynn Lyons, LICSW Using hypnosis with children teaches skills and helps children experientially discover their own resources and “super-powers.” With anxious children, hypnotic interventions can immediately demonstrate the mind-body connection, help with somatic regulation, and offer relief. But many clinicians focus on relaxation and calmness as the primary (and only) goal with anxious children and teens. Paradoxically, an overemphasis on the goal of relaxation often impede progress. This webinar will focus on additional therapeutic targets that move away from an “elimination” approach and provide skills needed to step into uncertainty, recognize the patterns of anxiety, and interrupt the family cycles that help worry thrive. The goal of this program is to answer: How do we incorporate hypnosis into our treatment of anxious kids and parents without inadvertently supporting anxiety’s demands? There will be a Q&A session at the end of the webinar where attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions. A PowerPoint document will be shared. A facilitator will moderate specific questions to reach outcome goals. About the Presenter: Lynn Lyons, LICSW, is an internationally recognized psychotherapist, author, and speaker with a special interest in interrupting the generational patterns of anxiety in families. Her skill-based approach to anxiety focuses on the need to teach families about HOW anxiety works and what families can do to pull members out of the powerful “anxiety cult” that demands obedience to its need for certainty and comfort. Lynn’s approach uses humor, hypnosis, and a constant focus on DOING, an umbrella strategy she has taught to thousands of professionals and families.Lynn is the author of Using Hypnosis with Children: Creating and Delivering Effective Interventions and the co-author with Reid Wilson of Anxious Kids, Anxious Parents and the companion book for kids, Playing with Anxiety: Casey’s Guide for Teens and Kids. She and has several webinar programs for parents and children. Friday, March 12, 2021Complex Inductions Made Easy: Neurophysiology, Social Psychology and DissociationPresenter: David R. Patterson PhD, ABPP This webinar will focus on training clinicians in advanced concepts of hypnosis. Although the training will be advanced, the content level will be appropriate for intermediate, or even beginning levels, based on the manner in which the material is taught. A major premise of this workshop is that hypnosis is most effective when presented in a non-linear rather than a cognitively based logical intervention. About the Presenter: David R. Patterson is a Professor of Psychology in the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine at the University of Washington School of Medicine. He holds diplomates in Psychological Hypnosis and Rehabilitation Psychology. He has published over 170 peer reviewed articles and book chapters on pain control, adjustment to trauma and hypnosis. He has given workshops in over a dozen countries on the topic of hypnosis and pain control. He was funded for his work by the National Institutes of Health for over 30 years and was the director of both the psychology internship and postdoctoral fellowship programs in his department. He published Clinical Hypnosis for Pain Control in 2010 with American Psychological Association. Friday, April 2, 2021 (Note date change; originally schedule for 4/16)
Adjunctive Therapies for Use with Clinical Hypnosis and Psychotherapy
Presenter: Donald Moss, PhD, Dean, College of Integrative Medicine and Health Sciences, at Saybrook University, Oakland, CA Adjunctive therapies are interventions that combine well with clinical hypnosis and psychotherapy. These adjunctive techniques augment the therapeutic effect of the hypnosis and psychotherapy. The combined therapeutic effect of hypnosis and adjunctive skills together is often greater than the effect of either intervention alone. Regular home practice of adjunctive relaxation skills improves basal autonomic nervous system regulation and reduces the onset of problematic symptoms. This Webinar introduces seven adjunctive therapies, including progressive muscle relaxation, autogenic training, paced diaphragmatic breathing, guided imagery, meditation, mindfulness, and expressive writing. Three to four of them will be demonstrated, as time allows, and brief clinical vignettes will illustrate the use of the adjunctive techniques with clients. Each of these skill sets can be administered on its own, with therapeutic effect, or provided in combination with clinical hypnosis as a treatment package. Clinical anecdotes will be utilized to illustrate the use of adjunctive therapies. About the Presenter: Donald Moss, PhD, is Dean, College of Integrative Medicine and Health Sciences, at Saybrook University, Oakland, CA. Dr. Moss is the Education Chair of the Society for Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis (SCEH) and a board member of Division 30 (hypnosis) of the American Psychological Association. He is also the ethics chair and international certification chair for the Biofeedback Certification International Alliance. He has served as president of Division 30, SCEH, and the Association for Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback (AAPB). Moss’ most recent books are a co-authored book on chronic illness, Integrative Pathways (Springer, 2019), and three co-edited books, Mindfulness, Acceptance, and Compassion in Biofeedback Practice (AAPB, 2020), Physiological Technology and Applicants in Biofeedback and Neurofeedback (AAPB, 2019), and Foundations of Heart Rate Variability (AAPB, 2016).

Many Americans are reporting anxiety and a sense of stress about the COVID-19 pandemic. The health threat, the disruption of usual schedules and activities, and the lack of control over rapidly changing life-events all are undermining individual's sense of safety and self-confidence. Rapid fire media attention to the global impact of the pandemic is heightening the sense of urgency and threat for the general public. Individuals with pre-existing emotional and psychiatric disorders are reporting exacerbations of their symptoms and usually calm individuals are reporting preoccupation and anxiety.
This webinar will bring together leading mental health experts from North American universities to discuss coping strategies, self-care skills, and lifestyle supports for emotional and physical well-being. The presenters will provide attendees with practical skills applicable for their own lives and also for their patients/clients/students.
The COVID-19 pandemic is a major threat to individuals and communities, with serious health impact and dramatic economic impact. Nevertheless, this threat can provide a useful opportunity for each person to consider current coping and to adopt new self-care habits that will provide a pathway for improved well-being long-term.

Palsson, PsyD, Professor of Medicine, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Chronic physical symptoms that have already proven unresponsive to the usual medical treatment methods can present formidablechallenges in healthcare. Clinical hypnosis offers unique techniques for addressing medically unresponsive symptoms, but for the best effects the clinician often has to apply treatment differently for those problems than in other therapeutic applications of hypnosis. In this webinar, Dr. Palsson will provide participants with a detailed overview of a specific structureand set of essential elements in hypnosis treatment that together produce high probability of improvement in chronic and stubborn physical symptoms.The success of this approach has been empirically demonstrated in published research on GI disorders, including IBS, functional abdominal pain, inflammatory bowel disease, and esophageal disorders, but the same framework is equally useful for creating successful hypnosis treatment for other chronic health problems, such as migraine and fibromyalgia. This includes the approach to the chronic medical patient, formulating the hypnosis sessions to contain key principles that maximize therapeutic impact, and crafting suggestions and metaphors that effectively target psychological and physiological processes that influence body symptoms. About the Presenter: Dr. Olafur S. Palsson is a clinical psychologist and Professor of Medicine at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He was previously Director of Behavioral Medicine and Assistant professor of Psychiatry and Family Medicine at Eastern Virginia Medical School in Norfolk,Virginia. Much of Dr. Palsson's work has focused on biopsychosocial and epidemiological aspects of functional gastrointestinal disorders, psychological factors that modulate physical symptoms, and treatment of chronic GI problems with hypnosis. He developed the fully scripted North Carolina hypnosis protocol for IBS, which has been tested and found efficacious in seven published studies. It is used in clinical practice by hundreds of hypnosis-trained health professional in the U.S. and world-wide, and has served as a model for the development of standardized hypnosis treatment approaches for several other health problems. Dr. Palsson has authored more than 130 published papers in psychology and medicine, as well as numerous book chapters in edited books.

Managing Anxiety: Cognitive, Mindfulness and Hypnotherapeutic Approaches
Presenter: Carolyn Daitch, PhD, Center for Anxiety Disorders Anxiety destroys the normal enjoyment of life through the fear, worry, obsessive thinking and avoidant behavior that anxious people experience.Simple activities like going to the grocery store, taking a child to her first day of school, or meeting a friend for lunch trigger a barrage of frantic “what ifs”.

June 12, 2020Chronic Pain and the Opioid Crisis: Mind-Body Innovations in Clinical Hypnosis
Presenter: Mark Weisberg, PhD, ABPP The 2011 Institute of Medicine report Relieving Pain in America: A Blueprint for Transforming Prevention, Care, Education, and Research estimated that 100 million Americans have chronic pain. Over the last 15 years, the primary reliance on and excessive use of opiate medications has created a serious medical crisis. The United States, which makes up less than 5% of the world population, uses 80% of the world’s opiates. Numerous studies demonstrate that dependence on opiate medications leads to overwhelming suffering and disability. Treatment of these conditions should engage patients in daily self-care, gradual conditioning, reducing the guarding reflex around painful areas, and activating self-healing resources. Opiates—especially at high doses— disconnect the brain from the body in a dissociative process, making self-care and activating self-healing resources more challenging. In this webinar, you will learn the role that hypnosis can play in facilitating an ideal healing state to assist in healing two common types of chronic pain: low back pain and headache. About the Presenter: Dr. Weisberg is a Board-Certified Clinical Health Psychologist in Minneapolis, Minnesota. He is Adjunct Community Faculty, Academic Health Center, University of Minnesota. Dr. Weisberg is a Fellow of the American Psychological Association and the American Academy of Clinical Health Psychology.

He has been a consultant at the Minnesota Head and Neck Pain Clinic for over 30 years, involved in the treatment of a wide variety of adults and adolescents with back pain, headache, temporomandibular disorders, autoimmune syndromes, and other widespread pain conditions. Dr. Weisberg is a Fellow and Approved Consultant of ASCH, and has served on the Executive Committee as Secretary, Member at Large, and Vice President. He is Past President of the Minnesota Society of Clinical Hypnosis. Dr. Weisberg is the co-author of Trust Your Gut: Get Lasting Healing from IBS and Other Chronic Digestive Problems Without Drugs (Conari Press), a consumer book on integrative treatment of digestive disorders. May 8, 2020 Presenter: Linda Thomson, PhD, APRN, ABMH, ABHN, Nurse Practitioner This webinar will introduce hypnotic approaches for many common physical, emotional and behavioral problems of childhood. Hypnosis not only gives the child a tool to better cope with or solve the problem himself, but also increases self-esteem, bolsters a sense of accomplishment and gives the child a valuable skill that he can adapt to many new situations throughout life. This webinar will also review the developmental characteristics that make children particularly hypnotizable. Dr. Thomson will define developmental tasks unique to each stage of development. When people experience adverse childhood events, developmental tasks may not be fully mastered. This can have a detrimental impact not only in childhood but in adulthood as well. The presenter will introduce hypnotic skills and techniques useful in developing effective treatment plans for engaging children to be part of the solution for medical or psychological challenges. About the Presenter: Linda Thomson has been a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner for 45 years incorporating hypnosis into her clinical work with children. She is the author of two widely acclaimed books for children and clinicians: Harry the Hypnopotamus: Metaphorical Tales for Children, Volumes 1 & 2 and the creator of Harry Hypnopotamus Imagination Cards.

March 6, 2020 Hypnosis for Chronic Pain: Maximizing Comfort Presenter: Mark P. Jensen, PhD, University of Washington, Seattle, WA Overview: This 1.5-hour webinar will provide an overview of hypnotic strategies and suggestions for helping individuals better self-manage chronic pain conditions. It will begin with a discussion of the neurophysiology of nociception and pain, focusing on nine specific processes and physiological structures involved in pain perception, that can be influenced by hypnotic suggestions. Evidence regarding pain’s impact on other functioning domains (e.g., activity level, sleep, mood) will be discussed, and ideas for hypnotic suggestions and approaches for addressing all of these domains and processes will be generated.
In February, SCEH will present a two part webinar on Ethical Principles and Practice Standards, scheduled for February 7 and 14, 2020. Part I will focus on the theoretical foundations of ethics, and Part 2 will emphasize models for decision making for ethical practice. Attendees may attend one or both dates.
