Level I Clinical Hypnosis Workshop
PRESENTER: David B. Reid, Psy.D., FASCH
ASCH Fellow and ASCH Approved Consultant
Saybrook University
PLACE: Zoom Link provided to paid Paypal registrants
COST: $457
PROGRAM OVERVIEW: Clinical hypnosis has been a valuable treatment modality and adjunct for hundreds of years and has been used as an efficacious intervention in medical, dental,
and behavioral health care. Clinical hypnosis incorporates understanding of current concepts of neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, and neuroplasticity with effective patient relationship and
communication skills. This effective and useful clinical strategy has been defined as a special state of mental functioning, the process to create that state, the experience of oneself in that special state, and all of the above. Hypnotic trance has also been described as a state of focused attention, inner absorption, perceptual distortion, and openness to change. Clinical hypnosis is a powerful therapeutic intervention that draws upon the skill, adaptability, and creativity of clinicians. The benefits of using clinical hypnosis in treatment situations include:
• Rapid establishment of rapport and the hypnotic relationship developmental and readiness to
change stages.
• Facilitation of change, ego-strengthening, personal mastery, and reduction of impediments to
change.
• Cost-effective, collaborative, person-centered treatment.
• Providing patients with life-long skills for better health.
Many professional organizations strongly recommend that all clinicians practicing clinical hypnosis participate in at least a Level I training. It is the first of a series of training workshops that are offered by several national and international organizations. The workshop is comprised 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.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES: At the successful completion of the workshop, participants will
have been taught the knowledge and skills necessary to capably use clinical hypnosis and to
begin to employ this strategy in their clinical practices. Upon completion of this workshop,
participants will be able to do the following in their clinical practices:
• Identify and demonstrate at least three ways to facilitate hypnotic trance and to appropriately
re-orient a patient from trance state.
• Demonstrate at least three strategies for facilitating intensification of trance.
• Describe at least four clinical conditions in which hypnotic strategies might be successfully
utilized.
