Description: Resistance is a frequent and clinically significant phenomenon in hypnosis and hypnotherapy. This presentation reviews conceptualizations of resistance across theoretical orientations and examines how it may present during hypnotic induction and throughout hypnotherapeutic work. Participants will develop practical, theory-informed approaches to assessing and managing resistance in ways that are both effective and ethically grounded.
Learning Objectives:
- Describe three factors that contribute to resistance in trance induction
- Describe three factors that contribute to resistance in hypnotherapy
- Identify at least four hypnotic strategies for bypassing or working through resistance
