Description: Women’s health across the lifespan benefits from hypnosis and suggestive communication. The usefulness of a Social-psychobiological model of hypnosis will be discussed. Clinicians will be introduced to the 5 E’s model of Feminist Hypnosis, Empathy, Empowerment, Equality, Ego-Strengthen, and Embodiment, and its applications to the female’s development, medical conditions, and psychotherapy. Techniques to access resources, reduce anxiety, and bring about positive outcomes will be taught and practiced. The focus of this workshop is intended to be on women and to be inclusive or all people who identify as female. The same techniques can be applied to people of all genders.
