SUMMARY:Enhancing Hope through Strategic Hypnotic Suggestion (MSCH)
DESCRIPTION:Organization: Minnesota Society of Clinical Hypnosis MSCH  \nWebsite: https://www.msch.us/education/2025-rosenthal-retreat/  \nEvent Title:  Enhancing Hope through Strategic Hypnotic Suggestion  \nAgenda:   \nDates: 11/22/2025  \nLocation: Virtual  \nCE: 6   \nContact : deb@msch.us — Deb Schrobilgen  \nAbstract: Workshop is designed to enhance the participants’ understanding of the nature of suffering and grief in the face of persistent physical and/or psychological distress\, and employ skillful hypnotic strategies to foster hopeful expectancy. The nature of ongoing symptoms and distress often result in a ‘negative set’ that of itself impairs the ability to fully engage in therapy and limits hope for lasting improvement. We will explore the model of pain\, discuss the nervous system’s response to ongoing distress\, and offer a model for hypnotic suggestion to strategically alter perception and meaning-making involved in this process. Specific methodologies to ‘deconstruct’ the negative mental set that commonly accompanies chronic and intractable symptoms such as pain\, anxiety\, and depression will be discussed\, including specific hypnotic approaches to challenge negative self-talk\, to interrupt negative loops in thinking or feeling states\, and to offer greater distance from or qualitative awareness of such perception. This stepped approach enhances self-efficacy and offers opportunities to significantly improve one’s mental set\, which can enhance therapeutic progress and foster a more hopeful and engaged patient in the healing process.  \nLearning Objectives: By the end of this course\, participants will be able to: \n\nDescribe the difference between acute\, chronic\, and intractable\nDescribe critical components of a biopsychosocial assessment approach to chronic pain and illness\nIdentify hypnotic approaches for chronic pain that provide strategic support for hope when cure is no longer thought to be possible\nDescribe four hypnotic approaches to strategically reinforce and/or redefine hope while also addressing chronic symptoms and illness\nDescribe the current concepts of the unconscious that apply directly to hypnosis in order to facilitate the making of meaning in order to lessen suffering \n\nSpeaker info: DAN HANDEL\, MD Dan_Handel__MD_Bio

SUMMARY:Adaptive Experiential Theory of Hypnosis: A Resource for Clinicians (CTSCH)
DESCRIPTION:Organization: Central Texas Society of Clinical Hypnosis  \nWebsite: https://www.ctsch.com/   \nEvent Title:  Adaptive Experiential Theory of Hypnosis: A Resource for Clinicians\, Advanced Workshop  \nAgenda:  Timed_Agend1 \nDates: 11/21/2025 \, 1-3pm CT \nLocation: Virtual  \nCE: 2  \nContact : Jana Jung-Woelfl\, ctsch@ctsch.com  \nAbstract: This presentation will explore a recently proposed theory of hypnosis called the adaptive experiential theory. This new theory is a dual-process model that provides a comprehensive understanding of the rational system and the experiential system. While these two systems work together in synergy\, they function quite differently in terms of their characteristics and methods. The rational system is influenced by logic and reason\, demands significant cognitive resources\, and operates with concentrated effort. On the other hand\, the experiential system is powered by emotions\, relies on associations\, and encodes reality through images and feelings effortlessly. According to the adaptive experiential theory\, the ability to engage in complex hypnotic responses can be attributed to an individual’s capacity to adaptively shift from processing predominantly via rational system to the experiential system. Having a stronger association with the experiential system leads to changes in how reality is processed\, enabling hypnotic suggestions to be internalized\, reified\, and put into action with less interference from the rational system. This presentation will focus on the implications this theory has for the clinical use of hypnosis emphasizing the idea that content and language of hypnotic suggestions matter.  \nLearning Objectives:  \n\n Identify and describe the rational system and the experiential system and describe at least three core differences between the two systems.\n2. Describe how the rational system and experiential system are related to hypnosis and hypnotic phenomena. \n3.Demonstrate the ability to generate hypnotic suggestions according to whether they are rational-system-oriented or experiential-system-oriented. \n4. Describe how accessing and working with the experiential system via hypnosis in therapy can be applied to various presenting concerns. \n\nSpeaker info: Cameron Alldredge\, PhD : Alldredge_CV_2025

SUMMARY:The Use of Ventral Vagal Tone Enhancement Exercises to Facilitate Clinical Hypnosis (5 Simple Practices to Increase Inner Safety and Calmness) (NESCH)
DESCRIPTION:Organization: New England Society of Clinical Hypnosis  \nWebsite: http://www.nesch.org/   \nEvent Title:  The Use of Ventral Vagal Tone Enhancement Exercises to Facilitate Clinical Hypnosis (5 Simple Practices to Increase Inner Safety and Calmness)  \nAgenda:  NESCH_Quarterly_11-16-25_Objectives__Schedule__Articles.docx \nDates: 11/16/25 10am –1:10pm EST  \nLocation: Virtual  \nCE: 3.0  \nContact : neschmsc@gmail.com – Staisha Stephens-Brown  \nAbstract: Clinical Hypnosis is a wonderful tool to enhance almost any interaction between human beings and is particularly useful in helping practitioners to alleviate physical\, mental\, emotional\, spiritual\, and social suffering. At this time\, in which the social/political context-both in our country and in the world-is so chaotic\, fearful\, divisive\, and intense\, the contextual stress can intensify the suffering that individual patients/clients have from their specific issues. Exercises that enhance ventral vagal nervous system tone can biologically\, quickly lower the intensity of stress a person is experiencing\, and can allow easier utilization of Clinical Hypnosis techniques for healing specific personal issues. In this 3-hour workshop\, attendees will learn five simple exercises to increase ventral vagal tone\, each with immediate effects on enhancing calmness and inner safety and enabling the utilization of and effects of Clinical Hypnosis.  \nLearning Objectives: (appropriate for all levels)  \n\n Identify the key components of the Autonomic Nervous System \nDescribe the Polyvagal Theory \nDemonstrate five exercises designed to enhance ventral vagal tone \nApply Ventral Vagal Exercises to specific clients/patients to enhance Clinical Hypnosis sessions. \n\nSpeaker info: Harvey Zarren\, MD\, ABPP — HZ_CV

SUMMARY:“The Languages of Hypnosis: Spoken and...” Advanced Workshop (GPSCH)
DESCRIPTION:Organization: Greater Philadelphia Society of Clinical Hypnosis  \nWebsite: https://gpsch.org/ (specific site will be available closer to the program date)  \nEvent Title: “The Languages of Hypnosis: Spoken and…” with Robert Staffin\, PsyD\, ABPH \nAgenda:Timed_Agenda (2)  \nDates: 11/09/2025 – 9:30AM ET to 1:00 PM ET \nLocation:  Virtual \nCE: 3 \nContact: marcy1116@aol.com\, Marcy Nadel  \nAbstract: Many clinicians interested in hypnosis say that they want to learn how to “do hypnosis.”  I believe that it is more important that we learn how to “be hypnotic.”  The idea of “being hypnotic\,” entails understanding the ways in which we send and receive signals and information\, on both conscious and unconscious levels.  This understanding is utilized and woven into the tapestry of the relational matrix.  The goal is to make our therapeutic work more meaningful\, more impactful\, and\, ideally\, more effective. \n“Language” is a central element of this process.  The word language is placed in quotes as it will be used it in a variety of ways.  At its most basic level\, language is a means of communication.  However\, when we begin to appreciate the palette of communication\, we quickly recognize that there are verbal\, nonverbal\, and paraverbal dimensions.  We will explore how each of these dimensions\, individually and collectively\, contribute to “being hypnotic.”\nThe microdynamics of trance induction outlined by Erickson\, Rossi & Rossi (1976)\, and the core competencies detailed by Short (2019)\, will be the foundations upon which the languages of hypnosis will be presented and articulated.  \nLearning Objectives: At the end of the program\, participants will be able to:\n1.  List the five microdynamics of hypnotic induction.\n2  Identify the six core competencies of Ericksonian psychotherapy.\n3. Describe how the “language” clinicians employ aligns with the microdynamics     of trance induction and the core competencies   \n Speaker: Robert Staffin\, PsyD\, ABPH  _5_-_Staffin_ResumeRS2025

SUMMARY:Planning Treatment Using Clinical Hypnosis: Practical Applications for Common and Not so Common Conditions (Greater Philadelphia Society of Clinical Hypnosis)
DESCRIPTION:Organization: Greater Philadelphia Society of Clinical Hypnosis  \nWebsite: https://gpsch.org/  \nEvent Title:  Planning Treatment Using Clinical Hypnosis: Practical Applications for Common and Not so Common Conditions\, Advanced Workshop \nAgenda:  Reid_Timed_Agenda \nDates: September 21\, 2025  \nLocation: Virtual \nCE: 3 \nContact: Marcy Nadel\, marcy1116@aol.com  \nAbstract: Clinical hypnosis\, whether facilitated by another or self-directed (i.e.\, self-hypnosis)\, has been shown to be an effective (and evidence-based) means of enhancing pain management (Thompson et al\, 2019; Milling et al.\, 2020)\, panic and anxiety (Valentine et al.\, 2019; Reid\, 2023) phagophobia (Reid\, 2016) smoking cessation (Green & Lynn\, 2018)\, and depression (Milling et al.\, 2019). As clinicians we can evoke therapeutic\, conscious and unconscious resources for our clients in many ways\, though in this workshop we will explore the practical and intentional application of clinical hypnosis for evoking client resources. \nThis webinar involves skill building and enhancement of clinical hypnosis knowledge and will provide attendees with opportunities to discuss and formulate hypnosis treatment plans\, as well as implement hypnotic interventions (e.g.\, age regression\, age progression\, alert trance\, posthypnotic suggestions) for the treatment of common (e.g.\, depression\, anxiety\, habit control) and not so common (e.g.\, phagophobia\, trichotillomania\, trypanophobia\, hemophobia) troubling and sometimes debilitating human conditions. Attendees will be encouraged to submit and discuss their own sanitized cases pending review and approval of Dr. Reid (see below for instructions). The ethical implications of treatment planning and issues involving informed consent for treatment when using hypnosis will be also addressed. Furthermore\, this webinar\, through the use of practical demonstrations\, will minimize the apparent gap that exists for many clinicians who lack knowledge\, understanding\, and strategic application of clinical hypnosis interventions.  \nLearning Objectives:   \nAt the end of the program\, participants will be able to:  \n\nDevelop a treatment plan including hypnosis interventions for patients presenting with numerous personal challenges. Participants will complete a hypnosis treatment plan for at least three case studies that will be provided by the instructor (Reid\, D.B.\, 2016) \n\n\nConstruct three metaphors appropriate for treatment of anxiety\, depression\, and panic disorder (one metaphor for each condition) (Casula\, C.C.\, 2022; Casula\, C.C.\, 2025; Reid\, D.B.\, 2023) \n\n\nConstruct three posthypnotic suggestions for two case studies provided by the instructor or an attendee (Willmarth\, E.K. & Vinson\, M.\, 2022; Wark\, D.M.\, 2023) d.  Describe alert hypnosis including the “Helping Hands” intervention for treatment of unhealthy and unwanted habits (Reid\, D.B.\, 2025; Feldman\, J.B.\, 2020)

SUMMARY:Hypnosis and "Subtle" Presentations of Adult Autism
DESCRIPTION:Organization:  \nCTSCH \nWebsite:  \nhttps://www.ctsch.com/ \nEvent Title:  \nHypnosis and “Subtle” Presentations of Adult Autism \nAgenda: \n1:00pm to 1:40pm: Representational Systems\, Neurodiversity\, About Autism \n1:40pm to 2:00pm: Core Characteristics of Autism for Psychotherapy \n2:00pm to 3:20pm: Autism Treatment (Understanding the Brain & Sensory/Emotion Regulation) \n3:20pm to 4:00pm: Autism Treatment (Relationships & Communication)\, Hypnosis Application \nDates:  \n09/19/2025 \nLocation: \nWebinar \nCE: \n3 \nContact: \nCTSCH@CTSCH.com \nAbstract: \nAutistic clients commonly experience challenges in hypnosis and psychotherapy when practitioners do not understand their needs and processing style. Unfortunately\, current research and knowledge on Autism—and the diverse ways it manifests—has not trickled down to all helping professionals.Many clinicians may be relying on outdated information on Autism and feel ill-equipped to recognize and adapt therapy for Autistic clients—particularly those with “subtle” presentations.This neuro-affirming training is designed to bridge this gap by providing updated information about less-obvious Autism as well as practical tools and insights to help therapists support the emotional\, relational and processing needs of Autistic individuals. \nLearning Objectives: \n1. Identify at least 4 features of Autism. \n2. Describe at least 3 core characteristics of Autism that are most relevant for psychotherapy. \n3. List at least 4 interventions to support processing and emotional differences in Autistic clients. \n4. Discuss at 2 interventions for challenges that arise from relationship and communication differences. \nReferences/Bibliography: \n1. Henderson\, D.\, Wayland\, S.\, White\, J. (2023).

SUMMARY:Interactive Experiential Clinical Hypnosis for Developmental Trauma Disorders (NTSCH)
DESCRIPTION:Organization: North Texas Society of Clinical Hypnosis (NTSCH) \nWebsite: https://www.northtexashypnosis.org/   \nEvent Title: Interactive Experiential Clinical Hypnosis for Developmental Trauma Disorders  \nAgenda: NTSCH_Agenda with Objectives \nDates: 09/19/2025 – 09/20/2025 \nLocation: In person and Virtually (Live Streamed)  \nCE: 16  \nContact: Dr. Louis Damis\, DrDamis@LouisDamisPhD.com  \nAbstract: Many clients treated for Post-traumatic Stress Disorder have Complex Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (CPTSD). CPTSD is associated with histories of prolonged trauma\, abuse\, and neglect and is considered a form of developmental trauma. Such Complex Traumatic Stress Disorders include disturbances of self-organization that overlap with attachment deficits and pathologies requiring specialized interventions to modify. Prolonged neglect and abuse are associated with attachment anomalies\, strong egosyntonic negative beliefs\, and dissociation that are not readily changed with CBT or cognitive hypnotic interventions. These underlying aspects of developmental trauma involve the implicit memory system and early learning that psychoanalysts call the unrepressed unconscious.  This workshop will delineate the role of implicit memory in trauma-related disorders and address strategies for modifying implicit memories not accessible through cognitive methods (Normative Implicit Clinical Hypnosis). Hypnotic and biobehavioral techniques for polyvagal-based interventions\, attachment repair\, and memory reconsolidation update will be integrated into a phase-oriented treatment model.  Participants will learn how to establish the neurophysiological substrate for neuroception of safety and equip patients with the prerequisite skills necessary for mastery of traumatic and wounding experiences.  Application of exploratory techniques combined with memory reconsolidation update strategies to modify negative egosyntonic beliefs and transform traumatic memories will be delineated. Once adequate stabilization is attained and sufficient memory integration is established\, treatment can focus on self-development. The workshop will provide sufficient information for participants new to the advanced hypnosis workshops and more senior practitioners looking for specialized training in trauma\, complex trauma\, and attachment disorder applications.      \nLearning Objectives: See attached agenda

SUMMARY:Using Language & Metaphor to Clarify Core Purpose and Meaning  (Clinical Hypnosis Society of New Jersey)
DESCRIPTION:Organization: Clinical Hypnosis Society of New Jersey  \nWebsite: https://clinicalhypnosisnj.org/event-6193649  \nEvent Title: Advanced Workshop: Using Language & Metaphor to Clarify Core Purpose and Meaning   \nAgenda: timed_agenda  \nDates: July 12\, 2025\, 11AM – 1PM EST   \nLocation: Virtual  \nCE: 2  \nContact: Robert Staffin drstaffin@gmail.com   \nAbstract: Language and metaphor play an important role in clinical hypnosis and especially in the work of Milton H. Erickson\, his students\, and those following. Through a mixture of humor\, storytelling\, and demonstrations\, Rob Voyle will teach us/remind us about the science and art of asking powerful questions. These questions have the power to open us up to our connection to the source of our life (whatever/whomever that is for you and your clients/patients).  Rob will share how to utilize metaphor to help people discover their core purpose and understand the violation of a client’s core purpose as a source of distress. When we clarify our core purpose\, it becomes a touchstone and provides a sense of meaning for us and all those with whom we live\, work\, and love.  \nLearning Objectives: As a result of attending this presentation participants will be able to: 1. Describe the differences between empowering and disempowering questions and know how to craft them. 2. Note and use a client’s metaphoric language to deepen awareness and empathy with the client. 3. Evoke and use a client’s simple metaphors to quickly determine a client’s core purpose and state of resourcefulness. 4. Use a client’s core purpose to articulate their stress and existential distress\, and to be able to restore a state of resourcefulness.

DESCRIPTION:Organization: Clinical Hypnosis Society of New Jersey \nAgenda: https://asch.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Spiegel_CHSNJ_timed_agenda.docx \nWebsite: https://www.clinicalhypnosisnj.org/event-6006566 \nEvent Title: Hypnotic Strategies for Evoking the Therapeutic Relationship \nDates: 06/08/2025 \nLocation: Virtual \nCE: 6.0 \nContact:  chsnj1986@gmail.com \nAbstract:\nIn this workshop\, we will examine how hypnosis can be strategically utilized to evoke the three components of the therapeutic relationship: transference\, the contemporary (‘real’) relationship\, and the therapeutic alliance. We will review hypnotic strategies from each of these three components with the goal of differentiating when and how to elicit effect\, create containment\, and utilize rapport from the relationship to guide the treatment process. Participants will learn how hypnosis can serve as an ‘in-between’ state in which elements of this relational matrix can be utilized to great effect in advancing treatment process and outcome. We will provide applications of hypnosis & the therapeutic relationship in treatment\, along with demonstrations. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nUnderstand how hypnosis hastens the development of new perspectives\, realities\, and understanding in the ‘in-between’.\nFormulate 2 hypnotic strategies for evoking transference.\nFormulate 2 hypnotic strategies for evoking the contemporary (real) relationship.\nFormulate 2 hypnotic strategies for evoking the therapeutic alliance.

SUMMARY:Rescripting Trauma Memories with Memory Reconsolidation: Protocols for Updating Implicit Beliefs and Patterns (Clinical Hypnosis Society of New Jersey)
DESCRIPTION:Organization: Clinical Hypnosis Society of New Jersey \nWebsite: https://www.clinicalhypnosisnj.org/event-6001181 \nAgenda: https://asch.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Timed_agenda.docx \nEvent Title: Rescripting Trauma Memories with Memory Reconsolidation: Protocols for Updating Implicit Beliefs and Patterns \nDates: 05/17/2025 \nLocation: Virtual \nCE: 6.0 \nContact: chsnj1986@gmail.com \nAbstract:\nReprocessing traumatic memories can be a tough task\, due to the stubborn persistence of painful emotions\, thoughts\, and patterns woven into the memory at both conscious and subconscious levels. Fortunately\, neuroscience has revealed how clinicians can more effectively help their clients reprocess traumatic memories by harnessing the mechanisms of memory consolidation. Memory reconsolidation refers to the brain’s inherent ability to update a memory network with new information when the person encounters a new experience that is emotionally significant enough for the brain to change the memory’s meaning\, context\, and associations. In this webinar\, we will explore the phenomenon of memory reconsolidation and how clinical hypnosis can be used as an adjunct to treatment to facilitate it. Participants will learn why hypnosis can be an effective tool for eliciting memory reconsolidation and get several tools they can use to help clients rescript trauma narratives\, repair attachment wounds\, and foster a positive post-trauma identity \nLearning Objectives: \nAt the end of this workshop\, participants will be better able to: \n\nEvaluate recent neuroscience discoveries regarding memory reconsolidation and their clinical implications for treating trauma.\nDescribe the steps of the RECON protocol\, an imaginal rescripting technique to help clients reduce distress related to memories of traumatic events.\nDescribe how to integrate cognitive reframing techniques with hypnosis to rescript the client’s trauma narrative and beliefs associated with the traumatic event.\nIdentify at least two ways to help clients avoid re-traumatization while reviewing traumatic memories.\nDiscuss at least two strengths and two limitations of the research on memory reconsolidation and clinical hypnosis in trauma treatment

It is one of the most common disorders seen by physicians and other health professionals. Several studies have suggested that the societal impact of IBS on health-related quality of life is equally as significant as congestive heart failure. While there are medications available for treating the symptoms of IBS\, most patients and clinicians express that these treatments are temporary and often unsatisfactory. Clinical hypnosis is one of the most successful treatment approaches for chronic IBS. The response rate to treatment is 80% or better in most published studies\, and it often helps individuals who have failed to improve with other methods.  In this 3-hour virtual workshop\, you will learn the role that hypnosis can play in facilitating an ideal healing state to assist in healing from IBS and other functional digestive distress. Participants will learn to understand IBS and other functional disorders as dysregulation syndromes. We will also explore how hypnosis can be helpful as an adjunct to other treatments for inflammatory bowel conditions such as Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn’s Disease. Dr Weisberg will guide the participants through a mixture of didactic and experiential approaches they can use on a daily basis in their clinical practice. \nLearning Objectives: \nAt the end of the program\, participants will be able to: \na. Describe one important aspect about the relationship between chronic pain\, central sensitization\, and autonomic dysregulation\nb. Formulate at least 2 hypnotic interventions to reduce IBS symptoms\nc. Formulate at least 2 hypnotic suggestions to help a patient with IBS become less fearful and avoidant of difficult abdominal sensations

SUMMARY:A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to an Induction: When Humor Enhances Hypnosis (Clinical Hypnosis Society of New Jersey)
DESCRIPTION:Organization: Clinical Hypnosis Society of New Jersey \nWebsite: https://www.clinicalhypnosisnj.org/event-6019239 \nEvent Title: A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to an Induction: When Humor Enhances Hypnosis \nAgenda: https://asch.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Reid_Timed_Agenda.docx  \nDates: 04/27/2025 \nLocation: Virtual \nCE: 2.0 \nContact: drstaffin@gmail.com \nAbstract:\nIt has been said that\, “Laughter is the best medicine.” There is ample empirical evidence that humor promotes immune functioning\, enhances quality of life in cancer patients and nursing home residents\, and minimizes symptoms of depression and anxiety (Bains et al.\, 2015; Ko & Youn\, 2011; Kuru & Kublay\, 2017; Morishima et al.\, 2019; Takeda et al.\, 2010). Yet there is limited consideration or research regarding the inclusion of humor during hypnosis sessions (Thomson\, 2022). This (two hour) conversation will review the healing properties of humor for medical and psychological disorders\, and more specifically\, encourage participants to consider embedding (i.e.\, interspersing) humor during hypnosis sessions with their clients. Case examples and demonstrations will highlight the pairing of humor with hypnosis for enhancing “ego strengthening\,” embedded metaphors\, story-telling\, age regression/progression\, and post-hypnotic suggestions. \nLearning Objectives:\nAt the conclusion of this workshop\, participants will be able to: \n1) Identify three (3) positive effects of humor for medical and/or psychological disorders. \n2) Identify at least three (3) ways to effectively incorporate humor into hypnosisinterventions. \n3) Identify two (2) situations in which humor is appropriate and two (2) situationsin which humor is inappropriate to include in clinical hypnosis.
