SUMMARY:Hypnotically Informed Psychotherapy (CHSNJ)
DESCRIPTION:Organization: Clinical Hypnosis Society of New Jersey  \nWebsite: https://www.clinicalhypnosisnj.org/events  \nEvent Title:  Hypnotically Informed Psychotherapy\, Advanced Workshop  \nAgenda: HIP_timed_agenda \nDates: 1/10/26\, 10am – 1pm ET \nLocation: Virtual  \nCE: 3  \nContact : Robert Staffin\, drstaffin@gmail.com  \nAbstract: Whether you have a background in hypnosis or are simply curious\, this course will provide a brief overview of hypnosis and then offer examples of how the principles that underlie the processes of hypnosis can be woven into one’s clinical practice regardless of one’s theoretical orientation.    \n  Hypnosis has a rich academic and clinical history. The clinician who understands the underpinnings of hypnosis\, e.g.\, how to fixate attention\, depotentiate conscious sets\, and cultivate unconscious searches\, is better able to identify\, elicit\, and utilize these naturally occurring “states” to make their clinical work more impactful.    \n  Much of what skilled clinicians do can be viewed through a hypnotic lens. This program will highlight how what you are likely doing already can be done with greater strategic and mindful intent.  \nLearning Objectives: At the conclusion of this program\, participants will be able to: \n1. List the six core competencies of Ericksonian therapy. \n2. Outline the 5 microdynamic steps of trance elicitation described by Erickson\,\n     Rossi\, and Rossi\, (1976) \n3. Define the concept of “influence ” as it is used in the social psychocology     \n     literature.  \n Speaker info: Rob Staffin\, PsyD\, ABPH is a clinical psychologist who is licensed in New Jersey and New York. He is also authorized to practice interjurisdictional psychology via telehealth by the PSYPACT Commission. Dr. Staffin received his doctorate from Yeshiva University’s Ferkauf graduate school of psychology in 1990.  He studied infant social development with Dr. Beatrice Beebe. Rob has been studying\, teaching\, and writing about hypnosis for more than 20 years.  He is an Approved Consultant of the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis (ASCH) and a Diplomate of the American Board of Psychological Hypnosis.  Rob is the President of the Clinical Hypnosis Society of New Jersey (CHSNJ)\, a component section of ASCH.  He is the author of\, More Common Therapy: the experiential psychotherapy of Jeffrey K. Zeig\, Ph.D.  He characterizes the book as an advanced how to guide for clinicians interested in cultivating their skills in clinical hypnosis.  His most recent article\, Hypnotically Informed Psychotherapy: Erickson and Beyond\, is published online ahead of print in the International Journal of Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis. Rob maintains a private practice in Teaneck\, NJ where provides individual therapy and offers individual and group consultation both in person and remotely.  \n

SUMMARY:2026 Max Shapiro Level 1 VIRTUAL Workshop in Clinical Hypnosis (NESCH)
DESCRIPTION:Organization: New England Society of Clinical Hypnosis (NESCH) \nWebsite: https://nesch.org/event-6288453 \nEvent Title: 2026 Max Shapiro Level 1 VIRTUAL Workshop in Clinical Hypnosis \nDates: Jan. 24-25 AND Feb. 7-8\, 2026 \nTimes: 10:00 AM – 5:30 PM EST each day \nLocation: Virtual \nCE: 22.0 \nContact: neschmsc@gmail.org \nAbstract:\nIn this intensive workshop participants receive in-depth training in both the theory and practice of clinical hypnosis from some of New England’s leading hypnosis practitioners. The workshop is composed of a mix of didactic presentations\, demonstrations\, experiential exercises\, and faculty led small group practice tailored to the specific needs\, interests\, and learning styles of workshop participants. Clinical hypnosis deepens the work of mind-body practices such as mindfulness meditation. Adding hypnosis allows our clients/patients to become even more deeply aware of their inner states and fosters awareness of their own strengths\, resources and problem-solving abilities. There has been extensive research demonstrating its effectiveness in treating a number of mind-body conditions\, and in expediting habit change\, facilitating pain management and enhancing treatment of depression and anxiety. \nLearning Objectives:\nUpon completion of the workshop\, participants will be able to incorporate the following in their clinical practice: \n\nIdentify and demonstrate four ways to facilitate hypnotic trance and appropriately reorient patients from a trance state.\nDemonstrate three strategies for facilitating intensification of trance.\nDescribe four conditions in which hypnosis might be successfully utilized.

SUMMARY:Facilitating Insight and Healing Through Client-Generated Clean Metaphor (NTSCH)
DESCRIPTION:Organization: North Texas Society of Clinical Hypnosis (NTSCH) \nWebsite: https://www.northtexashypnosis.org/   \nEvent Title: Facilitating Insight and Healing Through Client-Generated Clean Metaphor  \nDates: 01/28/2026\, 6-7:30pm CT \nLocation: Virtual  \nCE: 2  \nContact : Tracy Payton Watson\, LPC  \nDescription: This presentation explores David Grove’s Clean Language Method\, a client-centered approach to psychotherapy that uses precise\, non-directive questioning to facilitate insight and healing through metaphor. Participants will learn how Clean Language preserves client autonomy by minimizing therapist assumptions\, interpretations\, and influence\, allowing clients’ own words and metaphors to guide therapeutic change. The session will outline the core principles of Clean Language\, including the therapist’s stance of curiosity and “notknowing\,” the role of metaphor as an organizing system of experience\, and the standardized question sets used to elicit and track client-generated metaphors. Clinical applications for trauma\, anxiety\, depression\, addiction\, chronic pain\, and somatic experiences will be discussed\, along with ethical considerations for preserving client agency and supporting trauma-informed care. Through illustrative transcripts\, case examples\, and interactive reflection\, participants will gain practical skills for integrating Clean Language into clinical practice. This CE session aligns with best practices for experiential and metaphorical therapy\, emphasizing client-led insight and emergent healing.  \nLearning Objectives:  \n1. Describe and compare Milton Erickson’s use of therapist-generated metaphor\, indirect suggestion\, and utilization with David Grove’s client-generated metaphor approach in facilitating insight and therapeutic change.   \n2. Identify at least three key distinctions in how insight and healing are conceptualized and achieved through Erickson’s strategic\, directive use of metaphor versus Grove’s nondirective Symbolic Modeling process.  \n3. Apply ethical and clinical decision-making principles to determine when Ericksonian metaphor interventions or Grove’s client-led metaphor tracking are most appropriate for supporting insight and healing across diverse client presentations.  \nSpeaker info: Tracy Payton Watson\, LPC CV_8.4.23_Tracy \n
