Clinical hypnosis takes the power of belief and expectation and combines it with ‎imagination, parasympathetic stimulation, suggestions, and metaphors. This fusion ‎creates a powerful and effective, yet underutilized, therapeutic modality. It has ‎demonstrated efficacy in the management of a range of health conditions, including ‎irritable bowel and functional abdominal pain in children. ‎

In this Level 1 workshop sponsored by the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis ‎‎(ASCH), pediatric GI clinicians will learn the skills to start using clinical hypnosis in their ‎practices. In addition to techniques for formal trance elicitation, participants will learn ‎how to  “be hypnotic” more generally in their communication with patients and their ‎families. The workshop includes didactic presentations, demonstrations, experiential ‎exercises, and faculty-led small group practice. The faculty has a range of health care ‎experience to inform their teaching of the concepts, principles, and processes of hypnosis.‎

ASCH-approved Level 1 training is the first step toward ASCH certification in clinical ‎hypnosis. At the successful completion of the workshop, participants will have been ‎taught the knowledge and skills to capably use clinical hypnosis in their clinical practices. ‎They will also be eligible for ASCH membership and included benefits and will be prepared ‎to take part in Level 2 and Advanced ASCH-approved workshops.‎
