Abstract:
The purpose of this workshop is to provide licensed mental health clinicians the foundational information and experiential practice necessary to begin integrating clinical hypnosis into their established skillset and clinical work with patients, specifically in an outpatient mental health setting. The workshop is designed as a unique in-person, small-group learning opportunity. The syllabus is designed so that the CE hours may count as the Level 1 Basic training that is a required component towards ASCH certification in Clinical Hypnosis. This workshop strictly follows the most up-to-date ASCH-ERF Standards of Training for a Level 1 workshop and proposes 21.5 hours of CE hours.

The curriculum includes all didactic educational topics and experiential group practice exercises required by ASCH-ERF in a Level 1/Basic Clinical Hypnosis Workshop. We will define hypnosis, offer a brief history of hypnosis, and correct common misperceptions about the natural process of hypnosis and brain state of trance. An overview of the neuroscience of the trance state will be offered. Participants will be shown various demonstrations of the hypnotic process, utilizing both audience volunteers and video recordings of work with actual clients (with client consent). Each stage of the hypnotic process will be taught, explored, and practiced. The workshop will include four separate small group practice sessions, with at least one practice session taking place on each of the workshop days. Special attention will be given to ethics, treatment planning, and integrating clinical hypnosis into clinical practice, as these topics are especially relevant to mental health practitioners.
