Clinical Workshop Level 1

Why pursue training in Clinical Hypnosis? What are the benefits?

(Chair: Samantha Price)

CE Credits: 20

The Level 1 workshop, the first part of a series of workshops in the certification program for clinical hypnosis, is intended for licensed health professionals including physicians, nurses, psychologists, dentists, counselors, social workers, and those in related fields. A diverse faculty from a range of health disciplines will teach the principles and process of hypnotic inductions, suggestions, and treatment. The workshop is a mix of didactic presentations, demonstrations, experiential exercises, and faculty-led small group practice tailored to the specific needs and learning styles of each participant. At the conclusion of the workshop participants will have been taught the basic skills required to utilize clinical hypnosis and begin to apply it to their practice.

Advantages:

  • Rapidly establish rapport and the hypnotic relationship across developmental ages.
  • Facilitate change, ego-strengthen, and reduce impediments to change.
  • Cost-effective, collaborative, person-centered treatment.
  • Empower clients and patients to build skills for better health.
  • Learn a highly creative, broad-ranging technique for use in integrative medicine.
