SUMMARY:The Wisdom Within: Advanced Ego Strengthening Through Mindful Hypnosis and Integrative Approaches (GPSCH)
DESCRIPTION:Organization: Greater Philadelphia Society of Clinical Hypnosis  \nWebsite: https://gpsch.org/   \nEvent Title: The Wisdom Within: Advanced Ego Strengthening Through Mindful Hypnosis and Integrative Approaches  \nAgenda:  SlonenaTimed_Agenda \nDates: March 15\, 2026  \nLocation: Virtual  \nCE: 3  \nContact : Marcy Nadel\, marcy1116@aol.com   \nDescription: Ego-strengthening is an essential technique utilized across hypnotic and non-hypnotic modalities. In this experiential workshop\, attendees will explore ego strengthening as a relational\, creative\, and moment-to-moment process that can be intentionally woven throughout the entire therapeutic experience. Incorporating contemporary third-wave CBT concepts\, including quiet ego\, self-compassion\, multiplicity\, with integrative psychotherapy modalities such as Mindful Hypnosis\, this training offers a modern and holistic framework for ego-strengthening applicable across diverse clinical populations.   \nMoving beyond rigid scripts\, participants will learn to identify ego passivity\, ego activity\, and ego receptivity\, and use these aspects to guide the selection\, timing\, language\, and tailored delivery of ego-strengthening interventions. Attendees will experience several hypnotic and non-hypnotic ego-strengthening interventions\, including Slonena’s The Light Within induction\, Place of Peace\, Inner Guardians\, Bubble of Compassion\, and the WOOPI Method. Additionally\, empowerment techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)\, Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT)\, EMDR\, and Ego State Therapy will be integrated. Case vignettes and interactive exercises will ignite imagination and support clinical integration\, bridging the gap between cognitive conceptualization and practical utilization.   \nThis training is designed to refine not only clinical technique\, but also therapeutic presence. Through direct felt experience of ego strengthening\, practitioners can discover their inner strengths\, therapeutic talents\, and natural hypnotic style\, enhancing confidence\, attunement\, and effectiveness in clinical practice.  \nLearning Objectives: At the end of this learning experience\, participants will be able to: \n1. Define the concept of ego-strengthening in clinical hypnosis. \n2. Identify at least three related concepts to ego-strengthening\, such as quiet ego\, self-compassion\, and multiplicity.\n3. Identify and differentiate between ego passivity\, ego activity\, and ego receptivity in a clinical vignette.\n4. Explain at least three ego-strengthening interventions that can be used during clinical hypnosis.\n5. Classify four types of ego-strengthening hypnotic suggestions and generate one example of each.  \nSpeaker info:  Liz Slonena\, PsyD\, MSCP\, HS-P\, CMIP _5_-_Slonena_Curriculum_Vitae_EES_1.1.2026
