SUMMARY:Hypnosis and Performance Enhancement (FSCH)
DESCRIPTION:Organization: The Florida Society of Clinical Hypnosis  \nWebsite: https://www.fsch.org/workshops  \nEvent Title: “Hypnosis and Performance Enhancement”  \nAgenda:  Workshop_Schedule \nDates: 11/07/2026 – 11/08/2026  \nLocation: Virtual workshop  \nCE: 12  \nContact : Marie Wilson\, Administrator mariefsch@aol.com  \nDescription: If your clients are trying to get better at something — athletes\, performers\, writers\, students\, executives\, or anyone trying to find real balance between work and life — you’ve likely seen how closely their mental state and their performance are tied together. Anxiety\, frustration\, low mood\, and burnout aren’t separate from performance struggles — they’re often woven into the same experience\, showing up at exactly the moments performance is most on the line. Research shows depression affects 6–34% of high-level athletes\, with anxiety and burnout especially common during transitions\, injuries\, or high-pressure events. Awareness of this connection has grown\, but many clinicians still lack concrete tools to work with it directly.  \nIn the spirit of “skills\, not pills” (Dr. Michael Yapko)\, this workshop gives clinicians who use hypnosis a set of hypnotically informed strategies for drawing out clients’ best performance — on stage\, on the playing field\, or in the office — while working directly with the mental health dynamics woven into that process.  \nLearning Objectives:    \n\nDescribe at least 3 examples of how hypnotic techniques have been used to enhance performance.  Examples will be drawn from sports\, performing arts or workplace settings.  \n\n\nState at least 3 key components to a process-oriented approach to performance enhancement. \n\n\nDefine performance psychology and give 3 representative examples of cases that might benefit from the guidance of a performance psychologist/therapist.  \n\n\nGive at least 5 examples of improvement targets that clients might want to work on. \n\n\nDefine a moment of “Pause-itivity” and its role in the process of performance enhancement. \n\n\nDescribe at least three ways to experience mindfulness in the process of performance enhancement. \n\n\nDescribe at least three ways to experience visualization in the process of performance enhancement. \n\n\nGive at least three examples of positive coaching/positive expectancies in the process of performance enhancement. \n\nSpeaker info: Dana Lebo\, PhD Dana_Lebo__PhD_Bio \n  \n

SUMMARY:Discovering Naturalistic Poetry in Hypnosis (CTSCH)
DESCRIPTION:Organization: Central Texas Society of Clinical Hypnosis  \nWebsite: www.ctsch.com/poetry  \nEvent Title: Discovering Naturalistic Poetry in Hypnosis  \nAgenda: Timed Agenda (CT)  \n\n1 pm Introduction of Topic \n1:30 Group Demonstration \n2:00 pm Didactic Lecture \n2:30 pm Group Demonstration 2 \n2:30 pm Discussion Q and A \n\nDates: 11/13/2026  \nLocation: Webinar/Virtual  \nCE: 2  \nDescription: Poetry invites us to listen beyond the literal meaning of words\, to the rhythm\, imagery\, and associations ‎that give language its depth. In hypnosis\, poetic language can open pathways to unconscious exploration ‎and connection\, allowing new meanings and possibilities to emerge without the need to explain or define ‎them.‎  \nPoetry is not always something we bring into hypnosis. Sometimes it emerges naturally in the movement ‎into trance. Words begin to find their own rhythm\, images unfold\, pauses become meaningful\, and ‎language takes on a quality that is itself poetic. In a sense\, the trance becomes the poem.‎  \nThis experiential workshop explores the poetic nature of hypnotic language and how rhythm and ‎spontaneous expression can deepen the hypnotic experience. Participants will discover how to weave in ‎and out of existing poems\, follow the poetic flow that emerges within the therapeutic encounter\, and ‎recognize the poetry already present in their own language. Through demonstration and practice\, they ‎will explore how this naturalistic approach can deepen trance\, invite unconscious discovery\, and ‎facilitate therapeutic change.‎  \nLearning Objectives: \n ‎1.‎ Describe two ways how poetic language can engage unconscious processes ‎  \n‎2.‎ Utilize a poem or spontaneously emerging poetic language to evoke personal associations ‎and facilitate unconscious exploration ‎  \n‎3.‎ Discover at least one example of poetic flow within their own therapeutic language or how an ‎existing poem can be used in therapy.‎  \nSpeakers’ info:  \nAnita Jung\, LPC-S\, LPA & George P. Glaser\, MSW\, LCSW  \nAnita Jung\, LPC-S\, LPA\, is a psychotherapist\, writer\, and educator.

ASCH approved workshops are taught by faculty with a wide range of health care experience in various disciplines who will demonstrate and teach workshop participants the concepts\, principles\, and processes of hypnosis. The workshop is comprised 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. At the successful completion of the workshop\, participants will have been taught the knowledge and skills necessary to capably use clinical hypnosis and to begin to employ this strategy in their clinical practices.    \nThis unique and practical Level one workshop is broken up into two day segments\, with a three week break between Part A and B. This new format is based on feedback given from former participants\, with a focus on helping participants to integrate clinical hypnosis in their practice in a manageable way. There will be time to practice skills within small groups\, and with clients.  \nOur small groups will be longer than the standard time to allow extra time for questions\, demo and practice. A follow up optional consultation group will be offered once the workshop is complete to further help participants integrate clinical hypnosis into their practice. This workshop is presented by the Canadian Federation of Clinical Hypnosis – Alberta Society (CFCH-AS) and is pending approval from ASCH for 22 credit hours.  \nSee agenda for specific learning objectives.  \nSpeaker info:  Monica Wong MSW\, RSW\, HBCE (Canada) Monica_Wong Bio\, Akira Otani Ed.D\, FASCH\, ABPH (USA) Akira_Otani Bio\, & Linda Thomson Phd.

SUMMARY:Unraveling Problems Hypnotically: Utilization\, Avolitional Agency\, and Therapeutic Change (CHSNJ)
DESCRIPTION:Organization:  Clinical Hypnosis Society of New Jersey  \nWebsite: https://www.clinicalhypnosisnj.org/event-6818962  \nEvent Title: Unraveling Problems Hypnotically: Utilization\, Avolitional Agency\, and Therapeutic Change  \nAgenda:  27_Flemons_Timed_Agenda \nDates: 01/23/2027 – 9am -4:30pm ET \nLocation: Virtual  \nCE: 6  \nContact :  Ginny Dinsmore\, ginnydinsmore@gmail.com  \n Description: Clients typically contact a clinical hypnotist when they’re caught in the grip of a vexing mind-body problem. No longer able to manage it on their own\, they come to us with the hope and expectation that we will help them wrest control from it\, or perhaps\, once and for all\, even conquer it. This appeal for a competitive advantage against what clients perceive as a malicious Other creates an interesting challenge for us. Hypnosis and hypnotherapeutic change embody the logic of mind-body cooperation\, not competition\, the logic of mind-body connection\, not contention. Our capacity to make a difference rests on our ability to invite clients into a synergistic relationship with us and with their own experience. Hypnosis is a context not for defending against and vanquishing a perceived enemy\, but for collaborative learning and change.  \nThis workshop will lay out the foundational principles of an acceptance-based\, non-adversarial approach to clinical hypnosis and therapeutic change. We’ll explore and experiment with utilizing internal and external impediments to hypnosis\, rather than trying to block or overcome them. And we’ll make sense of the seemingly paradoxical notion of avolitional agency as a defining quality of hypnotic experience and the non-purposive unraveling of mind-body problems.  \nConsider this an invitation to a day of rethinking assumptions and discovering possibilities\, with opportunities for you to engage\, ask questions\, and experiment.  \nLearning Objectives:   \nAt the end of the workshop\, participants will be able to—  \n\n distinguish between disjunctive and conjunctive approaches to problem resolution.\n\n\n state two similarities between hypnotic and meditative experience.\n\n\n define hypnosis as a flow experience.\n\n\n describe the role of prediction and expectancy in symptoms\, placebos\, nocebos\, and hypnotic experience. \n\n\n articulate a utilization approach to hypnosis.\n\n\n specify the guiding principle of improvisation in utilization.\n\n\n identify the role of avolitional agency in hypnotic and hypnotherapeutic experience.\n\nSpeaker info:  Douglas Flemons\, Ph.D.\, LMFT 27_Flemons_Bio \n  \n
