ASCH Webinar: Helping Children Help Themselves with Hypnosis
July 16 @ 8:00 pm - 9:30 pm
Wednesday, July 16, 2025 at 8:00 PM-9:30 PM ET
The webinar will describe hypnotic interventions that can be used with children and adolescents who have medical or psychological challenges. Hypnosis not only gives the child a tool to better cope with or solve the problem himself, but also increases self-esteem, bolsters a sense of accomplishment and gives the child a valuable skill that he can adapt to many new situations throughout life. How to match hypnotic strategies to the developmental level of the child will be illustrated by using video clips. The principles and practice of integrating hypnosis into clinical encounters in child and adolescent healthcare for a variety of common pediatric habit disorders, anxiety and pain will be presented.
