Description:

Description: We welcome any and all who are licensed health professionals, and have completed a Fundamentals all-pediatric-specific Hypnosis Training Workshop (20+ hours) with NPHTI, SDBP, or equivalent approved Pediatric Hypnosis Workshop and who are using clinical hypnosis with pediatric patients on a regular basis.   Please indicate the year of your Fundamentals or Introductory/Basic Pediatric Hypnosis Workshop on your Registration. • Workshop emphasizes experiential learning and how to set personalized hypnosis goals and create appropriate hypnosis suggestions. • Learn how to incorporate Ericksonian Utilization principles in your hypnosis approach. • Refine and expand existing hypnosis skills and develop individualized hypnotic treatment approaches for your patients. • Faculty videos and case vignettes are integral throughout the workshop. • Supervised exercises: Augment your confidence and utilization skills (conversational invitations, pacing & leading, constructing goal-targeted suggestions, talking within hypnosis, self-regulation strategies, and other person-centered strategies) within thoughtfully clustered small groups (with high faculty to trainee ratios). • Select two “mini-intensive” (90 minutes each) clinical applications for further Hypnosis Skill Development. 

Learning Objectives:

 1)By the end of the workshop, learners will demonstrate the ability to design and deliver at least three different intermediate-level hypnotic invitations and therapeutic metaphors tailored to specific pediatric developmental stages. 

 2) Within 60 days of the workshop, clinicians will increase their use of hypnotic strategies by incorporating them into the treatment plans of at least 50% of their patients presenting with functional or procedural distress.  

3)Within three months, participants will apply at least two  hypnosis-based anxiety techniques (e.g., jettison  or encapsulation technique) with pediatric patients and document patient-reported efficacy of the technique  

4)Within six months of this introductory workshop, learners will register for a webinar,  pursue specific sub-specialty training in pediatric hypnosis training (e.g. Chronic pain, functional conditions) or schedule an individual supervision session to advance their clinical mastery
