SUMMARY:Facilitating Single Session Rapid Change: Eliciting Solutions through Hypnosis (CTSCH)
DESCRIPTION:Organization: Central Texas Society of Clinical Hypnosis  \nWebsite:  https://www.ctsch.com/  \nEvent Title: Facilitating Single Session Rapid Change: Eliciting Solutions through Hypnosis  \nAgenda:  Agenda_Rubin_Battino \nDates: 09/18/2026\, 1-3pm CT \nLocation: Virtual  \nCE: 2  \nContact : Jana Marie Jung-Wölfl  janina03@yahoo.com  \nDescription: What if meaningful therapeutic change could begin in a single session?  \nIn this highly experiential workshop\, participants will engage in three distinct approaches to single-session therapy utilizing hypnosis. Through a series of group inductions\, attendees will experience these methods firsthand and explore how they can help clients access their own resources\, discover new perspectives\, and generate solutions to longstanding difficulties.  \nEach experiential exercise will be followed by a discussion of the underlying principles\, structure\, and clinical applications of the approach. Participants will explore:  \n\n Guided imagery techniques for eliciting change and insight\n Variations of NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) Fast Allergy Cure as a model for rapid therapeutic intervention\nThe therapeutic use of exorcism metaphors and rituals\n\nDrawing on decades of clinical experience\, Rubin Battino presents practical\, creative\, and often unexpected ways of facilitating change. Attendees will leave with new ideas\, concrete techniques\, and a deeper appreciation for the possibilities of single-session work.  \nLearning Objectives:  \n\nDescribe and/or demonstrate at least three of the following techniques: relaxation through attention to breathing\, end-of-session time-outs\, and conversational openings of a session. \nList or Demonstrate at least three of the following clinical skills: establishing a therapeutic alliance\, using pauses during hypnosis\, and introducing a novel therapeutic intervention. \nFormulate and/or role-play at least two of the following interventions: facilitating relaxation\, using the word “somehow” therapeutically during hypnosis\, and offering a small smooth stone as a therapeutic anchor at the end of a session. \nIdentify and describe at least three of the following concepts: exorcisms\, safe havens\, healing power\, evil or controlling spirits\, and end-of-session time-outs. \n\nSpeaker info:   \nRubin Battino\, MS\, LPCC (Ohio)\, has been in private practice since 1978\, specializing in single-session therapy and the clinical use of hypnosis. Before entering the mental health field\, he was a professor of chemistry and published extensively in that discipline. He is the author of 11 books on psychotherapy\, with a twelfth manuscript completed and awaiting publication. Battino has presented more than twenty master classes on psychotherapy\, most focusing on the use of hypnosis in therapeutic practice. Additional information about his background and publications can be found at Rubin Battino’s website. https://www.rubinbattino.com  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Integrating Hypnosis into Clinical Practice and Applications (CHSNJ)
DESCRIPTION:Organization: Clinical Hypnosis Society of New Jersey  \nWebsite: https://www.clinicalhypnosisnj.org/event-6802347   \nEvent Title: Integrating Hypnosis into Clinical Practice and Applications  \nAgenda:  26_Sept_Timed_Agenda \nDates: 9/26/2026 11:00AM – 1PM ET \nLocation: Vitrual  \nCE: 2  \nContact :  Ginny Dinsmore ginnydinsmore@gmail.com \nDescription:  This two-hour workshop offers a practical and engaging overview of the research supporting clinical hypnosis as an evidence-based intervention across a range of clinical concerns. We will discuss clinical hypnosis\, highlight representative research demonstrating its efficacy\, and explore how hypnotic techniques can be thoughtfully integrated with established therapeutic approaches. Drawing on research\, clinical examples\, and interactive discussion\, participants will consider how hypnosis can expand the therapeutic toolkit and support meaningful clinical change. Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of both the evidence for clinical hypnosis and its potential applications across diverse practice settings.  \nLearning Objectives:  At the conclusion of this program\, participants will be able to:  \n\n Describe at least three findings from the research literaturedemonstrating how the integration of hypnotic interventions can improve treatment outcomes across clinical conditions. \n\n\n Describe at least three therapeutic approaches with which hypnotic interventions can be integrated to enhance clinical treatment.\n\nSpeaker info: Ciara Christensen\, PhD Bio_CC & Aaron Finley\, Psy.D.

SUMMARY:Reclaiming the Self from Trauma-time to Present Safety: A Hypnotic Ego State Approach for Complex Trauma and Dissociation (OSCH)
DESCRIPTION:Organization: Oregon Society of Clinical Hypnosis  \nWebsite: https://oregonhypnosis.org/event-6723430  \nEvent Title: Reclaiming the Self from Trauma-time to Present Safety: A Hypnotic Ego State Approach for Complex Trauma and Dissociation  \nAgenda:  Bensching_Reclaiming_Self_Timed_Agenda_Bensching \nDates: 09/26/2027-09/27/2026  \nLocation: Hybrid  \nCE: 12  \nContact : Info@oregonhypnosis.org   \nDescription: This two-day training presents a clinical model integrating ego state therapy with the Theory of Structural Dissociation\, polyvagal-informed pacing\, and a range of hypnotic methods — both Ericksonian-influenced and traditional — applied to the treatment of complex PTSD\, dissociative disorders\, dual diagnosis\, and atypical trauma presentations. This training fills a gap in the current trauma training landscape\, as EMDR and IFS are promoted more often in trauma training.  EMDR has absorbed many hypnotic concepts\, and IFS has drawn on many Ego State Therapy concepts in a simplified parts work approach\, resulting in fewer trainings positioning hypnosis itself as the primary modality for complex trauma and dissociation.  \nParticipants will learn to use hypnosis as a flexible\, central treatment approach. Hypnosis is woven throughout every phase of care—stabilization\, internal organization of fragmentation\, trauma reprocessing\, and insight-oriented exploratory work—applied both conversationally and formally rather than reserved as an adjunctive or stand-alone intervention. Through this framework\, hypnosis is presented not simply as a technique\, but as an organizing clinical methodology for working with trauma\, dissociation\, and fragmentation with greater precision\, adaptability\, and depth.  \nLearning Objectives:  Bensching 6.26.26_LOs_Sept 2026 Workshop \nSpeaker info: Debbie Bensching\, LCSW\, LICSW\, ACSW\, MSWAC BIO

SUMMARY:The Use of Hypnosis in the Treatment of PTSD (NESCH)
DESCRIPTION:Organization: New England Society of Clinical Hypnosis \nWebsite: www.nesch.org \nEvent Title: The Use of Hypnosis in the Treatment of PTSD \nAgenda: NESCH_Quarterly_workshop_description_2026_Tanev-Daitch_Hypnosis_PTSD \nDates: 9/27/2026 – 10:00 a.m.–1:10 p.m. ET \nLocation: Virtual \nCE: 3 \nContact / Email address: neschmsc@gmail.com \nDescription: PTSD is a mind-body problem. As a mind-body treatment\, hypnosis seems well-suited for its treatment. Hypnosis can move PTSD patients into a state of calm\, downregulate their emotional reactivity\, and facilitate altering maladaptive beliefs. Combined with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) approaches\, hypnosis may magnify their effects. This workshop presents specific hypnotic interventions for PTSD matching them to the PTSD symptom clusters they treat. Participants will learn hypnotic interventions aimed at decreasing reexperiencing symptoms\, emotional reactivity\, dissociation\, negative beliefs\, negative feelings\, hypervigilance\, and insomnia. Participants will also learn how adding hypnosis to CBT-based PTSD treatment protocols can boost their impact. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nApply one hypnotic technique for the treatment of flashbacks.\nApply one hypnotic technique for the treatment of emotional reactivity to trauma reminders.\nApply one hypnotic technique that utilizes cognitive restructuring within the context of hypnotherapy.\n\nSpeaker info: Carolyn Daitch\, PhD Daitch_CV__2.25.2021__1_ & Kaloyan Tanev\, MD CV_Tanev_Kaloyan_2026.07.01

SUMMARY: Becoming More Hypnotic: Refining and Mastering Advanced Clinical Skills for Trance\, Resistance\, and Change (MSCH)
DESCRIPTION:Organization: Minnesota Society of Clinical Hypnosis (MSCH) \nWebsite: https://www.msch.us/education/2026-rosenthal-retreat-otani/   \nEvent Title: Becoming More Hypnotic: Refining and Mastering Advanced Clinical Skills for Trance\, Resistance\, and Change  \nAgenda:  MSCH_2026_Workshop_Schedule \nDates: 11/01/2026  \nLocation: Virtual  \nCE: 6  \nContact : jstoos@rekindlethespark.com  \nDescription:  This workshop is intended for clinicians and practitioners seeking to deepen their proficiency in hypnotic elicitation and utilization within their everyday clinical work. The session has three primary objectives. First\, it examines frequently overlooked clinical variables—observation\, pacing\, and the strategic use of language—that may compromise trance development\, and offers practical methods for strengthening these foundational skills. Second\, it considers the identification and management of resistance in trance work\, drawing on broader theoretical models and translating them into clinical interventions for both hypnotic induction and psychotherapy. Third\, it introduces more advanced approaches–including therapeutic metaphor\, interspersal techniques\, and the art of “being hypnotic” rather than simply “doing hypnosis.” Drawing on more than four decades of clinical experience\, Dr. Otani will also share practice-based insights that go well beyond standard procedural instruction. The workshop will blend didactic presentation\, live demonstration\, and small-group experiential practice to build both conceptual understanding and clinical skills.  \nLearning Objectives:  \n\n Identify at least three clinical variables—such as observation\, pacing\, and strategic language use—that can influence the development of hypnotic trance.\nAcquire the three selected methods for strengthening foundational hypnotic induction skills through observation\, pacing\, and intentional language use. \nDescribe two theoretical models of client resistance and explain how they apply to hypnotic induction and psychotherapy. \n\n\nSelect and acquire one clinically appropriate intervention for managing resistance during trance work and related therapeutic encounters. \n\n\nApply one of the advanced hypnotic approaches\, including therapeutic metaphor and interspersal techniques\, in structured clinical practice exercises. \n\n\nDifferentiate between “doing hypnosis” as a set of procedures and “being hypnotic” as an integrated clinical stance. \n\n\nPractice at least one hypnotic induction or utilization strategy during experiential exercises and receive feedback on its clinical application      \n\nSpeaker info: Akira Otani\, Ed.D.\, FASCH\, ABPH 2026_MSCH_Workshop_Biography_with_Photo
