SUMMARY:Fundamentals of Clinical Hypnosis (Bloom Therapy)
DESCRIPTION:Organization: Bloom Therapy \nWebsite: https://bloomtherapytx.com/service/fundamentals-of-clinical-hypnosis/   \nEvent Title: Fundamentals of Clinical Hypnosis  \nAgenda:  Level_1_Hypnosis_Workshop_Syllabus_Spring_2026 \nDates: 05/01/2026; 05/02/2026; 05/03/2026  \nLocation: In-person – Bloom Therapy\, 1206 W. 43rd St\, Austin\, TX \nCE: 21.5  \nContact : katy@bloomtherapytx.com – Katy David  \nDescription: The purpose of this workshop is to provide licensed mental health clinicians the foundational information and experiential practice necessary to begin integrating clinical hypnosis into their established skillset and clinical work with patients\, specifically in an outpatient mental health setting. The workshop is designed as a unique in-person\, small-group learning opportunity. The syllabus is designed so that the CE hours may count as the Level 1 Basic training that is a required component towards ASCH certification in Clinical Hypnosis. This workshop follows the most up-to-date ASCH-ERF Standards of Training for a Level 1 workshop\, and proposes 21.5 hours of CE hours. The curriculum includes all didactic educational topics and experiential group practice exercises required by ASCH-ERF in a Level 1/Basic Clinical Hypnosis Workshop. We will define hypnosis\, offer a brief history of hypnosis\, and correct common misperceptions about the natural process of hypnosis and brain state of trance. An overview of the neuroscience of the trance state will be offered. Participants will be shown various demonstrations of the hypnotic process\, utilizing both audience volunteers and video recordings of work with actual clients. Each stage of the hypnotic process will be taught\, explored\, and practiced. The workshop includes 3 separate small group practice sessions (totaling 65 minutes practice time per student)\, with one practice session taking place on each of the workshop days. Special attention will be given to ethics\, treatment planning\, and integrating clinical hypnosis into clinical practice\, as these topics are especially relevant to mental health practitioners.  \nLearning Objectives:   \nFriday\, May 1st:  \n   \n\n ASCH Membership & Certification Process —15 minutes\n\nAt the conclusion of this module the participant will be able to:  \n\n Discuss ASCH’s clinical hypnosis standards of training\, levels of training\, and requirements for\, ASCH certification;
