SUMMARY:When the Body Speaks: Ego State Therapy & Hypnotic Applications for Somatic Symptoms Including FND\, Chronic Pain & Sleep Concerns (CFCH)
DESCRIPTION:Organization: Canadian Federation of Clinical Hypnosis  \nWebsite: https://clinicalhypnosis.ca/event-6528746  \nEvent Title: When the Body Speaks: Ego State Therapy & Hypnotic Applications for Somatic Symptoms Including FND\, Chronic Pain & Sleep Concerns  \nAgenda:  Agenda \nDates: May 1-2\, 2026  \nLocation: In-Person and Virtually  \nCE: 14  \nContact : Wendy Willberg-Lemke\, wendylemkelp@gmail.com  \nDescription: This 2-day training is designed for clinicians with prior training in hypnosis who wish to deepen their clinical skills when working with somatic symptoms such as functional neurological disorder (FND)\, chronic pain\, and sleep disturbances. This course\, grounded in Ego State Therapy conceptualizes somatic symptoms as meaningful messages from the body and the system of self. These symptoms may reflect internal conflicts\, adaptive reasoning\, or survival strategies. Ego State Therapy provides several ways to communicate with the body and/or ego states to explore unconscious causes\, contributing factors as well as potential solutions for somatic symptoms. Utilizing ideomotor signaling and other unconscious ways of exploring\, participants will learn how to access and communicate with states to elicit information about safety\, function\, contributing factors\, and potential pathways for resolution of somatic symptoms. Emphasis is placed on therapeutic intention\, hypnotic suggestions\, and internal negotiations that are respectful of the whole self within a trauma-informed\, phase-oriented framework. The training will review and apply core Ego State Therapy (EST) principles\, including Lemke’s adapted P-Principles\, which serve as a template for holding the multiplicity of self in mind when formulating hypnotic suggestions and strategies. EST treatment strategies based on these principles will be presented\, such as accessing internal resources and Lemke’s Playing with the Space. Demonstrations\, case examples\, and experiential exercises will be incorporated to enhance participants’ learning.  \nLearning Objectives: By the conclusion of this two-day training\, participants will be able to:  \n   \n\n Summarize research that demonstrates the effectiveness of clinical hypnosis in treating somatic issues such as FND and Chronic Pain. \n\n   \n\n Apply Ego State Therapy concepts including Lemke’s adapted P-Principles\, to clinically conceptualize and work with the voices of the body by recognizing the multiplicity of self.\n\n   \n\nIdentify three different ways to access ego states for gathering useful unconscious information about the body to assist in the treatment of somatic symptoms. \n\n   \n\n Develop an ego state trauma informed hypnotic approach for a somatic symptom presentation that integrates therapeutic intention and incorporates EST strategies such as Lemke’s ‘Playing with the Space’ strategy.\n\n   \n\nDemonstrate the use of ideomotor signaling as a tool to work with the system of self to identify purpose/function\, and/or other contributing factors to somatic symptoms. \n\nSpeaker info: Wendy Willberg-Lemke Bio

The workshop is designed as a unique in-person\, small-group learning opportunity. The syllabus is designed so that the CE hours may count as the Level 1 Basic training that is a required component towards ASCH certification in Clinical Hypnosis. This workshop follows the most up-to-date ASCH-ERF Standards of Training for a Level 1 workshop\, and proposes 21.5 hours of CE hours. The curriculum includes all didactic educational topics and experiential group practice exercises required by ASCH-ERF in a Level 1/Basic Clinical Hypnosis Workshop. We will define hypnosis\, offer a brief history of hypnosis\, and correct common misperceptions about the natural process of hypnosis and brain state of trance. An overview of the neuroscience of the trance state will be offered. Participants will be shown various demonstrations of the hypnotic process\, utilizing both audience volunteers and video recordings of work with actual clients. Each stage of the hypnotic process will be taught\, explored\, and practiced. The workshop includes 3 separate small group practice sessions (totaling 65 minutes practice time per student)\, with one practice session taking place on each of the workshop days.

SUMMARY:Psychedelic Assisted Therapy and Hypnosis for the Seriously Curious (FSCH)
DESCRIPTION:Organization: Florida Society of Clinical Hypnosis  \nWebsite: https://www.fsch.org/workshops  \nEvent Title: Psychedelic Assisted Therapy and Hypnosis for the Seriously Curious  \nAgenda:  FSCH_Agenda_May_2026 \nDates: 05/2/2026 –  5/3/2026  \nLocation: In-person  \nCE: 12  \nContact : Marie Wilson mariefsch@aol.com   \nDescription: This 12-hour workshop is designed for health professionals who want to learn more about psychedelic-assisted therapy (PAP) for their patients and possibly for themselves. This workshop is not intended to train practitioners to use PAP with clients. However\, attendees will learn about the basic science of the agents most commonly used in PAP\, indications for various medications for psychological challenges\, the structure of typical sessions\, and ethical issues such as legality\, availability\, and the significant potential for harm associated with this form of therapy. The workshop will address how psychotherapy approaches\, including hypnosis\, can facilitate the preparation and integration phases of a PAP experience. We will discuss how this type of facilitation can be done by a therapist who is independent of the actual PAP treatment. We will also provide experiential exercises to 1) create mystical experiences with hypnosis and 2) use the science of the unconscious to create significant emotional and behavioral shifts. The instructors pride themselves on using state-of-the-art research in neurophysiology and outcome research throughout the workshop.  \nLearning Objectives:  \n\n Describe the empirical evidence for the neurophysiological effects of psychedelic-assisted therapies (PAP) on brain function and psychiatric outcome. \n\n\nDescribe the steps of PAP interventions based on the target issue and the medicine being used. \n\n\nArticulate how psychotherapy and hypnosis can facilitate the preparatory and integration phases of PAP. \n\n\nExperience and be able to describe a hypnotically induced mystical experience. \n\n\nExperience and describe the use of the unconscious to create emotional and behavioral changes through hypnosis. \n\nSpeaker info: Ciara Christensen\, PhD Ciara_Christensen_bio \n
