SUMMARY:Indirect Work with Hypnosis Using Metaphorical Objects (CTSCH Webinar) 
DESCRIPTION:Organization: Central Texas Society of Clinical Hypnosis  \nWebsite: https://www.ctsch.com/calendar   \nEvent Title: Indirect Work with Hypnosis Using Metaphorical Objects (CTSCH Webinar)  \nAgenda:  Timed_Agenda (4) \nDates: 2/20/26\, 1-3pm CT \nLocation: Virtual – Webinar  \nCE: 2  \nContact : ctsch@ctsch.com  \nDescription: This presentation introduces Indirect Work with Hypnosis Using Metaphorical Objects as an experiential\, hypnosis-informed approach for facilitating therapeutic change in both individual and group settings. Rooted in Ericksonian principles\, this method utilizes metaphorical objects as concrete representations of unconscious information\, relational dynamics\, and emergent solutions\, allowing meaningful work to occur without the need for explicit verbal disclosure of the problem. Metaphorical objects function as indirect hypnotic stimuli that naturally evoke trance states\, activate internal resources\, and promote experiential reorganization. Drawing from Milton H. Erickson’s utilization-based hypnosis and Teresa Robles’ concept of universal wisdom\, the approach emphasizes safety\, respect\, and a non-invasive therapeutic stance. The therapist adopts an attitude of service and trust in the client’s inherent capacity for self-regulation and solution generation. The method is particularly useful in clinical contexts where clients prefer privacy\, minimal verbalization\, or indirect approaches. Through observation\, guided suggestions\, and metaphor-based interaction\, clients access new perceptions and embodied insights that support change at conscious and unconscious levels. A brief clinical illustration from a live demonstration highlights how metaphorical objects facilitate emotional regulation\, experiential learning\, and solution-focused transformation within a hypnotic framework.  \nLearning Objectives: After this program\, participants will be able to..  \n1. Identify the concept and clinical purpose of metaphorical objects within indirect\, Ericksonian hypnosis.  \n2. Describe the systemic and Ericksonian theoretical framework that supports therapeutic work with metaphorical objects.  \n3. Incorporate the use of at least two metaphorical objects as an indirect hypnotic technique. \n4. Formulate and practice at least three therapeutic verbalizations for effective clinical use of metaphorical objects  \nSpeaker info: Cecilia Fabre is a master in Ericksonian psychotherapy and systemic family therapy. She has been a clinical psychologist since 1988 and has a PhD in Integral and Conscious Development of Organizations and Groups. \nABOUT_THE_PRESENTER (1)

In this intensive three-day course\, participants receive in-depth training in the foundations of clinical hypnosis and will learn about the principles and process of hypnotic elicitation\, suggestions\, and treatment integration. The workshop is a mix of didactic presentations\, demonstrations\, experiential exercises\, and faculty-led small group mentored practice tailored to the specific needs and learning styles of each participant. At the conclusion of the workshop\, participants will have been taught the basic skills required to utilize clinical hypnosis and begin to apply it to their practice. There is extensive research demonstrating the effectiveness of hypnosis in treating many mind-body and behavioral health conditions.  \nLearning Objectives: Specific learning objectives for each teaching segment of the course are included in the timed agenda. However\, upon completion of the workshop\, participants will be equipped to integrate the workshop’s key learning outcomes into their clinical work\, such as:  \n\nTo facilitate hypnotic trance and appropriately reorient patients/clients from a trance state. \nTo apply four or more strategies for facilitating the intensification of trance. \nTo describe four conditions in which hypnosis might be successfully utilized in their clinical practice. \nTo rapidly establish rapport and the hypnotic relationship across developmental ages. \nTo facilitate change\, ego-strengthen\, and reduce stress and impediments to change. \nTo enhance cost-effective\, collaborative\, person-centered treatment. \nTo empower clients and patients to build skills for better health. \nTo learn a highly creative\, broad-ranging technique for use in mental health and integrative medicine. \n\nSpeaker info:  \nDebbie_Bensching_2025; Dave_B_Bio_2025\, Linda_NS_bio_CV_2025\, Shawn_Criswell_Bio_2025

SUMMARY:Treatment Planning in Clinical Hypnosis (CHSNJ)
DESCRIPTION:Organization: Clinical Hypnosis Society of New Jersey  \nWebsite: https://www.clinicalhypnosisnj.org/event-6484935  \nEvent Title: Treatment Planning in Clinical Hypnosis  \nAgenda:  26_February_TIMED_AGENDA \nDates: 02/21/2026  \nLocation: Virtual  \nCE: 2  \nContact : Virginia Dinsmore (CHSNJ Secretary) ginnydinsmore@gmail.com  \n Description: Planning treatment in clinical hypnosis always involves a balancing between applying the accumulated knowledge in the field and responding to the dynamic interaction with the patient in the present moment. This presentation will outline the knowledge and the craft that should be applied in planning clinical hypnosis\, and the communication with patients to obtain their informed consent. The authors also acknowledge that the principle of utilization prevails in treatment sessions\, and the intended itinerary for a session may shift abruptly\, based on what the patient presents in the moment.  \nLearning Objectives:   \nAt the conclusion of this program the reader will be able to:  \n\nSummarize hypnotic dimensions of the patient’s decision to seek help and the patient’s experience of the first therapeutic encounter \n\n\nExplain the initial assessment and screening process\, to determine the patient’s appropriateness and readiness for clinical hypnosis treatment \n\n\nExplain the value and strategy of coordination with the patient’s medical providers. \n\n\n Execute a thorough case assessment to elucidate the information necessary to develop a quality treatment plan  \n\n\nDesign treatment plans for patients/clients who present with anxiety and bowel disorders. \n\nSpeaker info: Donald Moss\, PhD Moss_Bio_sketch_brief_July_2025_150_words \nEric Willmarth\, PhD Willmarth_Blurb \n  \n
