Description: For Clinicians who have not yet completed a pediatric-specific hypnosis training (20+ hours) and for clinicians wanting to refresh or solidify their confidence in fundamental pediatric hypnosis skills. • Foundational skill-building in hypnosis as therapeutic communication and adjunctive intervention for children/teens with various health and behavioral problems. • Clinical focus: hypnosis adjunctive management of pain, anxiety, chronic functional conditions, and sleep issues for children and teens at different developmental stages. • State-of-the-art presentations include instructional videos of faculty cases and case vignettes. • Experiential learning is our wonderful key element! Half of total workshop time is spent in very small group practice (6:1 trainee: faculty ratio) & large group exercises focused on the structure and elements of clinical hypnosis for children/teens, using therapeutic language, explaining hypnosis to parents and children, delivering personally crafted hypnotic suggestions, and using self-hypnosis.
Learning Objectives: 1 ) Within 30 days of completing the workshop, learners will incorporate at least two clinical hypnosis strategies into their existing treatment plans for pediatric conditions they are already competent in treating.
2) For the next 1-2 months, learners will practice self-hypnosis for at least 10 minutes daily to increase personal comfort with the technique and model self-regulation skills for their patients.
3)Over the next 90 days, learners will document clinical improvements (such as reduced anxiety or improved pain management) in at least five patients where hypnosis was utilized.
4)Within six months of this introductory workshop, learners will register for a webinar, intermediate-level pediatric hypnosis training, submit a post to the Listserv for clinical case support, or schedule an individual supervision session to advance their clinical mastery
