SUMMARY:ASCH Advanced Workshop: Facilitation and Clinical Use of Mystical Experiences in Hypnosis ‎
DESCRIPTION:June 2025 Advanced Clinical Workshop: Facilitation and Clinical Use of Mystical Experiences in Hypnosis  \nJune 13\, 2025 – 10:00 AM ET-2:00 PM ET \nRegister Here \nWith the popularity of psychedelic-assisted therapy on the rise\, more and more people are seeking a type of intervention that involves powerful and profound experiences used to cultivate lasting change. These experiences are often called “mystical experiences” or “peak spiritual experiences” and typically contain a sense of positive mood\, unity\, transcendence of time/space\, and ineffability. During this workshop presentation\, participants will receive a general overview of mystical experiences\, review a newly proposed theoretical framework for the clinical use of mystical experiences\, and learn about past research on the use of hypnosis to induce mystical experiences. Participants will be invited to participate in a hypnotic procedure designed to facilitate a mystical experience. Results from a recent study aimed at establishing the feasibility of a hypnosis intervention for a mystical experience will be discussed. Participants will also engage in experiential portions where they will design and deliver suggestions for a mystical experience. \nAt the conclusion of the event\, learners will be able to: \n\nDescribe what mystical experiences typically entail and what past/recent research says about facilitating these experiences with hypnosis only.\nConstruct a theoretical rationale for the use of mystical experiences within therapeutic interventions.\nDemonstrate the ability to design and deliver suggestions to integrate mystical elements into psychotherapy\n\nRegister Here \nSpeaker Information \n \nCameron Alldredge\, PhD \nDr. Cameron Alldredge is a licensed psychologist and associate research scientist in the Mind- Body Medicine Research Laboratory at Baylor University.

We will explore the historical use of psychedelics alongside the growing interest in their modern clinical applications. Drawing on both personal and professional experiences\, I will demonstrate how hypnosis can foster openness and readiness for psychedelic experiences and how it can aid in integrating insights post-journey to support lasting personal growth.Through engaging discussions and demonstrations\, participants will gain practical techniques and new perspectives to deepen their understanding of hypnosis and its role in enhancing psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy (PAP).  \nLearning Objectives:  \n1) State two shared features of hypnosis and ketamine/psilocybin\n2) State one difference between a ‘psycholytic dose’ vs a ‘heroic or psychedelic’ dose\n3) State one hypnosis technique they can utilize during the preparation phase of PAP to\nenhance openness and readiness\n4) State one hypnosis technique they can utilize for the integration/post-journey phase to help\nclients process insights and solidify personal growth \nSpeaker Information: \nCiara Christensen\, PhD\, earned her doctoral degree in Clinical Psychology from Washington State University in 2012.

SUMMARY:Gut Feelings Part II: Clinical Hypnosis for Comprehensive Treatment of Disorders of Brain-Gut Interaction.
DESCRIPTION:Organization: ASCH \nWebsite: asch.net \nEvent Title: Gut Feelings Part II: Clinical Hypnosis for Comprehensive Treatment of Disorders of Brain-‎Gut Interaction \nAgenda: 8pm-10pm EST \nDates: June 25th\, 2025 \nLocation: Virtual \nCE: 2.0 \nContact: info@asch.net \nPrice: non-members: $65 \nMember: $55 \nRegistration Link: https://portal.asch.net/integratedEvents/home/GUT-FEELINGS-PART-II-CLINICAL-HYPNOSIS-FOR-COMPREHENSIVE-TREATMENT-OF-DISORDERS-OF-BRAIN-GUT-INTERACTION \n  \nAbstract: Clinical hypnosis has reliably been found to produce both short- and long-term treatment ‎benefits for functional gastrointestinal disorders (i.e.\, functional dyspepsia\, functional ‎abdominal pain\, and irritable bowel syndrome). Moreover\, as various physiological and ‎autonomic nervous system variables have been found to contribute to these gastrointestinal ‎disorders\, they have more appropriately been labeled Disorders of Brain-Gut Interaction ‎‎(DBGI). However\, the exact mechanisms of action that result in such hypnotic intervention ‎benefits have remained elusive. ‎\nThis webinar will review the empirical evidence supporting the effectiveness of various gut-‎directed clinical hypnosis strategies\, address possible mechanisms of action\, and outline ‎these techniques for participant use. Research will be reviewed on a polyvagal-based ‎hypnotic intervention effective with brain-gut interaction disorders. Moreover\, the polyvagal ‎model and this technique are also relevant to treating trauma\, fibromyalgia\, inflammatory\, ‎and other pain disorders. ‎\nAs the incidence of trauma and childhood adverse experiences is common in DGBI and ‎persistent pain\, identification of specific life events contributing to somatic distress and the ‎application of memory reconsolidation update techniques will be reviewed to more ‎comprehensively resolve Disorders of Gut-Brain Interaction.‎\n \n  \nLearning Objectives:  \nAt the completion of this webinar\, participants will be able to:‎\n‎1)‎ List the relevant diagnostic criteria for two brain-gut interaction disorders.‎\n‎2)‎ Cite three references providing empirical support for using clinical hypnosis to treat ‎functional gastrointestinal disorders.‎\n‎3)‎ List four hypnotic suggestions that have empirical support for reducing IBS symptoms.‎\n‎4)‎ Explain the relationship of the polyvagal theory to brain-gut interaction disorders ‎and outline a relevant hypnotic intervention found to be effective in reducing DGBI ‎symptoms.‎\n‎5)‎ Apply the cognitive bridge technique to identify contributing remote experiences.‎\n‎6)‎ Apply two memory reconsolidation update strategies for relevant trauma ‎experiences.‎
