Rapid hypnosis is considered the domain of entertainers. Yet, it belongs to the canon of hypnosis with which clinical hypnotists may be unfamiliar. This foray into the art and science of rapid hypnosis offers information that is infrequently and seldom taught today in professional settings.
Covered topics include the research-based underpinnings of rapid inductions, ethics, suggestibility tests as induction segues, diverse induction categories with examples and variations on the themes, and practice integration considerations.
Hands-on clinicians will enhance their repertoire and armamentarium, while mental health clinicians will expand their perspectives on hypnosis.
At the completion of the workshop, participants will be able to:
- Describe the differences between types of inductions.
- Explain how to utilize what the patient brings to the session and how it may be utilized rapidly.
- Demonstrate how suggestibility/hypnotizability testing may be utilized as an induction.
- List three or more categories of rapid inductions and their underpinnings.
