SUMMARY:ASCH Webinar: Spiritual Dimensions in Hypnosis
DESCRIPTION:Spiritual Dimensions in Hypnosis \n\nLive Webinar with Bette Freedson\, LCSW\, LICSW\, CGP \nRegistration is on our new portal – REGISTER HERE  \nDate: May 28\, 2026\nTime: 7:00–9:00 PM (ET)\nCE Hours: 2\nLevel: All Levels \nRegistration Fees: \n\nMember: $45\nNon-Member: $65\nGraduate Student: $35\nResident: $35\n\n\nAbstract \n\nEvery client comes to therapy with a set of personal beliefs\, experiences\, and biases\, including those about the concept and nature of spirituality. This webinar will include case examples\, experiential exercises\, and discussions designed to explore how hypnosis methodologies can be utilized to elicit transformative spiritual experience aligned with the unconscious\, intuitive wisdom within. \nAn innovative\, process-oriented\, non-linear approach\, the USE-IT model highlights the core Ericksonian competencies of tailoring and utilization\, along with other hypnosis methodologies for eliciting realizations that transcend the individual’s ordinary conscious thinking. \nWhen perceived as spiritual\, the intuitive power within can become motivational and transcendent\, providing access to transformative resources that can be integrated into the client’s psychic schema. \n\nFive Phenomenological Features of USE-IT\nUtilize:\nUnderstanding the client’s views about spirituality\, while applying the concept of Client/Self/Circumstances\, and utilizing the methodology of hypnosis creates limitless potential for eliciting recognition of transcendent/transformative resources. \nSynchronize:\nTailoring the trance and the therapy to the client’s ecology involves strategic use of both the client’s and the clinicians’ intuitively elicited allegorical themes (metaphor\, simile\, stories\, imagery) with intuitively meaningful references related to the client’s desired goals. \nElicit:\nNew revelations of unrecognized resources elicited from the unconscious/intuitive/spiritual dimension via hypnosis provide motivation\, strength\, and tools for problem-solving\, reframing cognitive distortions\, and healing\, within the phenomenology of various conditions\, including trauma sequelae and the process of grieving. (The case of Jean’s mother) \nIntegrate:\nIntuitive resources and realizations ratified as spiritual by the client become perceptions and reference experiences of inner wisdom that can become absorbed into the client’s psychic schema and anchored as implicit shifts in the limbic system. \nTransform:\nTransformed shifts in thinking\, feeling\, and coping create a renewed belief in self-efficacy and capacity. The realization of intuitive power within can become a spiritual guidance system that informs the client’s ongoing lived experience. \n\nLearning Objectives\n\nName the phenomenological features of the USE-It Model.\nDescribe one operational detail of each feature of the USE-IT Model.\nExplain the way the core competencies of Tailoring and Utilization are conceptually and operationally relevant to evoking a client’s felt-sense of a Spiritual experience in Hypnosis.\nGiven an individual client\, create & demonstrate an intervention or an exercise that incorporates hypnosis methodology and the client’s beliefs about spirituality to evoke an experiential moment.\n\n\nReferences\nAccaria\, Philip\, Dr.\, Ph.D.\, FASCH\, An Introduction to Energy Medicine: Ancient Wisdom for Modern Day Solutions \nBerne\, Eric\, Intuition and Ego States\, Harper & Row\, Publishers\, 1977. \nFreedson\, Bette\, Other Realms\, Other Ways: A Clinician’s Guide to the Magick of Intuition\, iantella books\, 2021. \nFreedson\, Bette\, PassageWays: Everyday Adventures into the Paranormal\, iantella books\, 2021. \nCameron Alldredge Profile: Baylor University directory page psychologyneuroscience.artsandsciences.baylor.edu \nMarks-Tarlow\, Terry\, Clinical Intuition in Psychotherapy: The Neurobiology of Embodied Response\, Norton\, 2012. \nSimonton\, O.
