SUMMARY: Hypnosis and Hypnotizability (CHSNJ)
DESCRIPTION:Organization: Clinical Hypnosis Society of New Jersey  \nWebsite: https://www.clinicalhypnosisnj.org/event-6605490   \nEvent Title: Hypnosis and Hypnotizability  \nAgenda:  26_June_CC_Timed_Agenda \nDates: June 13\, 11AM -1PM ET \nLocation:  Virtual workshop  \nCE: 2  \nContact : ginnydinsmore@gmail.com  \nDescription: This interactive two-hour workshop examines the historical evolution and contemporary definition of hypnosis\, with emphasis on why definitional clarity matters for clinical practice\, research\, and professional communication. Participants will review early conceptualizations of hypnosis\, competing theoretical models\, critiques of prior APA Division 30 definitions\, and the development of the current consensus definition established in 2015. The workshop will also explore distinctions between hypnosis\, hypnotic induction\, hypnotizability\, and hypnotherapy\, while considering the implications of terminology for clinical application and scientific rigor. Discussion-based activities and guided analysis will help participants critically evaluate how definitions shape both research methodology and patient understanding of hypnosis.  \nLearning Objectives:   \nSpeaker info: \n 1. Identify at least three major historical shifts in hypnosis terminology and summarize at least two factors that have contributed to ongoing disagreement regarding the definition of hypnosis. \n\n Compare and contrast the major components of at least twopreviousAPA Division 30 definitions of hypnosis and identify one or more key critiques associated with each definition. \n\n\n Apply the current consensus definition of hypnosis to clinical and research examples and distinguishamongat least two other related terms such as hypnotic induction\, hypnotizability\, and hypnotherapy in each context. \n\nSpeaker:  Cameron Alldredge\, PhD CA_Short_Bio \n  \n

SUMMARY:Fail-Safe Indirect Approaches in Therapeutic Hypnosis (MNSCH)
DESCRIPTION:Organization: Minnesota Society of Clinical Hypnosis  \nWebsite: https://www.msch.us/education/2026-advanced-workshop/  \nEvent Title: Fail-Safe Indirect Approaches in Therapeutic Hypnosis  \nAgenda:   \nDates: 6/14/2026  \nLocation: Virtual  \nCE: 6  \nContact : Deb Schrobilgen\, deb@msch.us  \nDescription: Many clinicians learn a wide range of hypnotic techniques and interventions. While these tools are valuable\, technique alone does not always translate into a psychotherapy process that feels fluid\, responsive\, and reliably effective. This workshop focuses on the underlying fundamental principles that allow therapeutic hypnosis to unfold in a way that minimizes the risk of failure for both client and clinician.  \nDrawing from approaches modeled by Milton Erickson and Ernest Rossi\, often demonstrated in practice but less frequently articulated explicitly\, we will examine how indirect methods support a dynamic and collaborative therapeutic process. Rather than directing outcomes\, these approaches emphasize following the client’s experience\, supporting autonomy\, and creating conditions in which meaningful and often numinous change can emerge naturally.  \nParticipants will explore how fail-safe principles reduce performance pressure\, deepen attunement\, and foster client-led transformation. By shifting the focus from technique execution to moment-by-moment responsiveness\, therapists can create greater freedom for exploration while maintaining clinical integrity. This workshop is well suited for newer clinicians who want a clear conceptual framework for working indirectly\, as well as for experienced clinicians interested in refining their use of subtle and responsive hypnotic processes.  \nLearning Objectives:  \nParticipants will be able to explain the importance and relevance of fail-safe approaches in psychotherapy\, including:  \n\nAsking questions rather than giving statements. \nLeaving out the use of “I\,” reducing the client’s natural tendency to please the therapist. \nFollowing rather than leading the therapeutic process. \n\nParticipants will learn the application of sensory modality priorities for individual clients\, including:  \n\nIdentifying how each client most naturally learns and processes experience\, whether through sight\, hearing\, feeling or proprioception\, intuition\, taste\, or smell. \nRemaining grounded in the present moment. \n\nParticipants will demonstrate the ability to follow the client’s lead through careful attention to minimal cues\, including:  \n\nUnderstanding how to notice\, read\, and utilize subtle body and breath cues. \nSupporting client independence and self-directed change. \n\nFinally\, participants will examine the principle that the Burden of Responsibility in Effective Psychotherapy ultimately belongs to the client\, and how indirect hypnotic methods naturally reinforce this orientation.  \n Presenter: Kathryn Rossi\, PhD

SUMMARY:The Unique Suitability of Hypnosis for Resolving Trauma and Managing Dissociation (NTSCH)
DESCRIPTION:Organization: North Texas Society of Clinical Hypnosis  \nWebsite: https://www.northtexashypnosis.org/ \n Title: The Unique Suitability of Hypnosis for Resolving Trauma and Managing Dissociation  \nAgenda: June_Agenda \nDates: 06/24/2026  \nLocation: Virtual  \nCE: 1.5  \nContact : Tracy Payton Watson\, LPC tracypaytonwatson@gmail.com   \nDescription: It is well-established in the research literature that psychological traumatization and dissociation are distinctive states with characteristic psychological and psychophysiological features. Similarly\, a growing body of research confirms that hypnosis has identifiable psychophysiological attributes\, and that hypnosis and dissociation are related. Consequently\, hypnotically informed intervention approaches are uniquely suited to foster constructive\, enduring state change in chronically traumatized and dissociative individuals. This workshop will focus on practical applications of these principles by identifying various components of trauma- and dissociation-relevant treatment that can be facilitated by using hypnosis for: relationship building through strengthening rapport; distress reduction; expanding coping skills through imagery rehearsal; increasing self-esteem by challenging convictions that sustain negative self-image; reducing disruptive levels of hyperarousal during trauma processing; and managing and mastering dissociative states by learning to modulate their intensity. Brief illustrative case examples will be included. Attendees will be encouraged to adopt the hypnotic strategies presented in this session as jumping-off points for tailoring them to the intersectional needs\, perspectives\, personal and family histories\, and cultural backgrounds of each individual client.  \nLearning Objectives: By the end of the session\, participants will be able to adapt and demonstrate at least two of the six hypnotic strategies presented by outlining how they would implement them with a current or sample client and achieve a score of 80% or higher on a post-training competency checklist or role-play evaluation.   \nSpeaker info: Steven N Gold\, PhD Gold_bio_12-2025 \n
