SUMMARY:When the Body Speaks: Ego State Therapy & Hypnotic Applications for Somatic Symptoms including FND & Chronic Pain (Lemke Counseling & Consulting)
DESCRIPTION:Organization: Lemke Counseling & Consulting  \nWebsite: https://www.wendylemke-psy.com/estforfndsomatic  \nEvent Title: When the Body Speaks: Ego State Therapy & Hypnotic Applications for Somatic Symptoms including FND & Chronic Pain  \nAgenda:  Nov_FND_schedule_ \nDates: November 10\, 2026   \nLocation: Virtual  \nCE: 6.5  \nContact :  Wendy Lemke\, wendylemkelp@gmail.com  \nDescription: This training is designed for clinicians who wish to deepen their clinical skills when working with somatic symptoms such as functional neurological disorder (FND) or other somatic symptoms including pain. This course\, grounded in Ego State Therapy theory conceptualizes somatic symptoms as meaningful messages from the body and the system of self. These symptoms may have unconscious explanations that can assist in identifying origin\, maintenance\, or even a solution for complex somatic presentations. Somatic symptoms can reflect internal conflicts\, adaptive reasoning\, or other survival strategies. Ego State Therapy provides several ways to communicate with the body and/or ego states to explore unconscious causes\, contributing factors as well as potential solutions for somatic symptoms.  \nParticipants will learn how to access and communicate with states to elicit information about safety\, function\, contributing factors\, and potential pathways for resolution of somatic symptoms such as ideomotor signaling. Emphasis is placed on therapeutic intention\, hypnotic suggestions\, interventions\, and internal negotiations that are respectful of the whole self within a trauma-informed\, phase-oriented framework.  \nDemonstrations and case examples will be incorporated to enhance participants’ learning.  \nLearning Objectives:   \nBy the conclusion of this course\, participants will be able to:  \n\n Summarize research that demonstrates the effectiveness of clinical hypnosis in treating somatic issues such as FND and Chronic Pain.\n Apply Ego State Therapy concepts including Lemke’s adapted P-Principles\, to clinically conceptualize and work with the voices of the body by recognizing the multiplicity of self.\n Identify three different ways to access ego states for gathering useful unconscious information about the body to assist in the treatment of somatic symptoms.\n Develop an ego state trauma informed hypnotic approach for a somatic symptom presentation that integrates therapeutic intention and incorporates EST strategies such as Lemke’s ‘Playing with the Space’ strategy.\n Demonstrate the use of ideomotor signaling as a tool to work with the system of self to identify purpose/function\, and/or other contributing factors to somatic symptoms.\n\nSpeaker info: Wendy Lemke bio_wendy_2026

This training program is “hands-on” and highly practical. There will be didactic sections\, as well as the modeling and demonstration of approaches. The larger goal is clinical competence in designing and delivering hypnotically based interventions\, skills that will be developed primarily through challenging structured practice sessions conducted almost every day of the program. Participants will be doing and experiencing a lot of hypnosis in this program. This comprehensive training program is provided in a concentrated format of three phases\, 20 hours each\, set a month apart so participants take their new skills back to their clinical practices and further develop them in-between phases. The emphasis is on skill-building.  \nLearning Objectives:   \n\nParticipants will be able to identify the suggestions inherent in conducting psychotherapy regardless of which specific model of (verbal) psychotherapy under consideration. \nParticipants will be able to identify and offer multiple examples of specific forms (structures) of suggestion. \nParticipants will be able to identify and offer multiple examples of specific styles (relational positions) of suggestion. \nParticipants will be able to list and describe at least three different models or conceptual frameworks for understanding hypnosis. \nParticipants will be able to list and define types of “automatic” or unconscious responses collectively known as “ideodynamic responses.” \nParticipants will be able to describe at least one recent neuroscientific findings about the brain mechanisms associated with selective attention and hypnotic responsiveness. \nParticipants will be able to name and describe two forms of amplified memory structures in hypnosis commonly used in the course of psychotherapy. \nParticipants will learn and be able to describe key principles about the nature and functioning of memory. \nParticipants will be able to list and describe the inappropriate suggestive methods most likely to lead to confabulations or false memories. \nParticipants will learn methods of neutral questioning in order to avoid the use of inappropriate suggestions that may contaminate a client’s memories. \nParticipants will learn and be able to describe relevant social psychological research about conformity and obedience to authority that can influence hypnotic responsiveness. \nParticipants will be able to list and define the so-called “classical hypnotic phenomena” that can be elicited in hypnosis (such as analgesia\, time distortion\, etc.). \nParticipants will learn about and be able to apply both the verbal and non-verbal aspects of suggestion formulation and delivery. \nParticipants will learn about and be able to describe the potential applications of hypnosis in a variety of contexts\, including psychotherapy\, education\, and behavioral medicine. \nParticipants will be able to list and describe at least two empirical studies affirming the benefits of employing hypnosis as a complement to other established treatments. \nParticipants will be able to list and refute common misconceptions about hypnosis that may hinder optimal treatment outcomes. \nParticipants will be able to list and discuss the personal\, interpersonal and situational variables that affect an individual’s level of hypnotic responsiveness. \nParticipants will be able to list and discuss at least two pros and cons of employing formal testing for assessing hypnotic responsiveness. \nParticipants will be able to list and describe specific ways people respond differently to suggestions given in hypnosis to those given outside of hypnosis. \nParticipants will be able to define and discuss the concept of “trance logic” and its implications for hypnotic interventions.   \nParticipants will be able to list and discuss ways a person’s expectations influence both hypnotic and treatment responsiveness. \nParticipants will be able to define and discuss the characteristics of interventions that are content-based versus process-based. \nParticipants will be able to organize and define a generic sequence for conducting a goal-oriented hypnosis session. \nParticipants will be able to structure at least two specific types of post-hypnotic suggestions. \nParticipants will be able to list and discuss the relative advantages and disadvantages of direct versus indirect forms of hypnotic intervention. \nParticipants will be able to identify and discuss the role of symbolism in suggestion formulation. \nParticipants will be able to identify and discuss the role of paradox in suggestion formulation. \nParticipants will be able to list and identify specific methods of direct and indirect induction and utilization. \nParticipants will learn and be able to apply at least two different strategies for eliciting classical hypnotic phenomena. \nParticipants will be able to list at least two specific online resources for gaining access to published studies in treating specific clinical populations. \nParticipants will be able to name and discuss two factors affecting client expectancy. \nParticipants will be able to list and discuss specific methods for fostering an unstable attributional style as a catalyst to treatment responsiveness. \nParticipants will be able to identify and describe two different generic structures for producing hypnotic amnesia. \nParticipants will be able to list and discuss at least two factors indicating the appropriateness of hypnotic interventions in both acute and chronic phases of treatment. \nParticipants will be able to identify and apply methods of solution-oriented and motivational interviewing in establishing a treatment plan. \nParticipants will be able to identify and discuss how hypnotic phenomena may feature in the onset and course of client symptoms. \nParticipants will learn and apply the method of “seeding” homework assignments during hypnosis as a means of increasing treatment benefits. \nParticipants will be able to apply hypnotic

Hypnosis utilizes language. However\, hypnosis is not reducible to language and words\, nor can it be optimally expressed through formulaic inductions and suggestions. In this ten-hour online course\, set to run on Friday and Saturday\, February 20 & 21\, 2026\, from 9:00 AM-5:00 PM CST each day\, participants will be exposed to an immersive\, expansive\, and clinically enriching experience as together we explore the underlying principles and practical applications of conversational hypnosis. The course highlights the neuropsychological underpinnings of language\, the utility of emergent potentials as innate client resources\, the role of narrative and evocative storytelling\, and the importance of uncertainty and disorientation as a core context for positive change. The course includes active Q&A time\, in-session demonstrations modeling and utilizing a slew of applied hypnotic practices that can be used in the course of dynamic\, relationally-based hypnotically-oriented conversations with clients.  \nLearning Objectives:   \n\nIdentify six dimensions of language and their relevance to cultivating increased client suggestibility. \nDefine and learn to utilize the eight neuropsychological underpinnings of dynamic and interpersonal conversation as foundations of client change promotion. \nContrast the legacy model of clinical hypnosis (induction\, deeping\, suggestion\, realerting\, and debriefing) with the seven core elements of conversational hypnosis model of interaction that the webinar will feature. \nModel a set of seven practical applications of conversational hypnotic interaction practices. \nPractice utilizing conversational prompts modeled in the webinar with scenarios drawn from participants’ clinical practices during the webinar’s practice sessions. \n\nSpeaker info: David S.

SUMMARY:Connecting Creatively in a World of Disconnection: Accessing Ego States Through Creative Expressive Exploration (Lemke Counseling & Consulting)
DESCRIPTION:Organization: Lemke Counseling & Consulting \nWebsite: https://www.wendylemke-psy.com/est-expressive-art \nEvent Title: Connecting Creatively in a World of Disconnection: Accessing Ego States Through Creative Expressive Exploration\, Advanced Workshop \nAgenda:Timed_Agenda_Template \nDate: 11/13/2025 \nLocation: Virtual \nCE: 6 \nContact: Lemke Counseling & Consulting\, Wendy Willberg-Lemke – wendylemkelp@gmail.com \nAbstract: The last couple of years have left the vast majority of people with a sense of turbulence\, insecurity and a dysregulated central nervous system. People in general\, and also helping professionals responsible for maintaining emotional well-being\, are challenged with central nervous systems that feel overwhelmed and dysregulated\, pendulating between overactivation and experiences of collapse. Enabling helping professionals to manage their own central nervous system responses creatively\, empowers them to apply mindsight in order to utilize the ‘gifts’ their clients possess in an ethical manner. As mental wellness practitioners\, the challenge is to render support that initiates containing movement\, in order to explore Ego States\, as a neurophysiological and psychological manifestation of the autonomic nervous system response. Utilising the ‘gifts’ implicit to the symptom presented by the client\, greater compassionate connection is established which enhances the sense of safety and stabilisation. Using the ladder of activation (as described by Deb Dana) different degrees of activation will be explored and ideas shared as to how connection between the energy parts can be established through a variety of expressive arts activities requiring low skill high sensitivity. This workshop will therefore make use of Expressive Arts applied therapeutically\, referring to art creation\, sound and voice\, movement/dance\, creative writing/poetry\, and playfulness as a bottom-up approach within various contexts such as psychotherapy and counselling (Malchiodi\, 2005). \nLearning Objectives: \n\nUtilize breathing through creative engagement to bring awareness to the body.\nCreate a sense of safety to enable containment in the face of activation using sensory awareness through connection with the external and internal world.\nEngage with bodily sensations related to the ladder of activation for self- and co-regulation.\nExplore Ego States in relation to autonomic nervous system (ANS) activation and dysregulation.\nDemonstrate expressive movement for grounding\, stabilization\, and inter- and intrapersonal connection.\n\nSpeaker Info: Elzette Fritz is a registered Educational Psychologist in private practice and supervisor in the Department of Educational Psychology\, at the University of Johannesburg\, South Africa.

SUMMARY:Hypnosis for Trauma III: Integration and Self-Development (Integrative Health Psychology\, PA)
DESCRIPTION:Organization: Integrative Health Psychology\, PA \nWebsite: www.LouisDamisPhD.com  \nEvent Title: Hypnosis for Trauma III: Integration and Self-Development  \nAgenda:  Agenda_Hypnosis_for_Trauma_III_Damis \nDates: 09/28/2025 \nLocation: Virtual \nCE: 5 \nSpeaker & Contact: Louis Damis\, Ph.D. DrDamis@LouisDamisPhD.com  \nAbstract: This workshop focuses on the application of clinical hypnosis in the Integration and Self-Development phases of trauma recovery. Once adequate stabilization has been attained\, the client is now equipped with the tools and sense of empowerment needed to process\, master\, and integrate traumatic memories effectively. This workshop will address the use of clinical hypnosis for controlled uncovering as required and transformation of traumatic memories. Use of memory reconsolidation update techniques will also be taught. This may also include aspects of ego-state therapy and integration of introjects. As trauma and neglect disrupt one’s identity and sense of self\, therapy now needs to facilitate and guide the self-development that neglect prevented. This is also a period of meaning-making and relational development that can be facilitated with clinical hypnosis.  Much of this session will be dedicated to training techniques\, with an emphasis on demonstrations that will be recorded for distribution to participants. It is recommended that participants complete the Trauma I (Stabilization) and Trauma II (Attachment Repair) workshops before attending this workshop.  \nLearning Objectives:   \n\nParticipants will be able to describe the three components of the trauma treatment integration phase. \n\n\nParticipants will be able to describe and apply two strategies for processing and modifying traumatic memories. \n\n\nParticipants will be able to explain the importance of the self-development phase of trauma treatment. \n\n\nParticipants will be able to describe and apply attachment repair strategies for fostering constructive interpersonal relationships.

This phase of treatment is often quite complex\, including the development of arousal reduction and anxiety management skills\, internalization of an implicit sense of safety and security\, self-soothing\, control of dissociation\, readiness for assertiveness skills\, improvement in self-regard/esteem\, cognitive modification\, sleep promotion/reduction in nightmares\, and prerequisite skills for trauma processing. The majority of the session will be dedicated to training techniques\, with an emphasis on demonstrations that will be recorded for distribution to participants. The Normative Implicit Clinical Hypnosis approach taught facilitates modification of implicit memory and Internal Working Models that underlie Complex PTSD. This workshop is a prerequisite for the Trauma II (Attachment Repair) and Trauma III (Integration and Self-Development) workshops.  \nLearning Objectives:   \nEducational Objectives:  \n\nParticipants will be able to describe the three components of the phase-oriented trauma treatment. \n\n\nParticipants will be able to outline and apply two strategies for establishing a neuroception of safety. \n\n\nParticipants will be able to delineate three criteria for adequate acquisition of an internalized sense of safety and security. \n\n\nParticipants will be able to describe and train self-soothing and two dissociation control techniques. \n\n\nParticipants will be able to describe and apply one or more strategies for ego-strengthening\, sleep promotion\, nightmare resolution\, and cognitive modification.

It will also help you recognize destructive spontaneous trance states\, destructive self-suggestions\, and provide ways to ground and reorient. Taught by trauma-informed faculty\, this course will include topics/skills on hypnotic phenomena\, hypnotic language\, elicitations\, deepening\, reorienting\, utilization\, formulating suggestions\, along with opportunities for supervised practice.

SUMMARY:2025 Comprehensive Clinical Hypnosis and Strategic Psychotherapy Training (Dr. Yapko & Associates)
DESCRIPTION:Organization:  Dr. Yapko & Associates \nWebsite: https://yapko.com/hypnosis-training/ \nEvent Title: 2025 Comprehensive Clinical Hypnosis and Strategic Psychotherapy Training \nDates: 04/02/2025-04/06/2025\, 4/28/25-5/4/2025\, 6/4/2025-6/8/2025 \nLocation: Virtual \nCE: 60 \nContact: Michael Yapko\, michael@yapko.com \nAbstract:\nThis comprehensive training program is divided into three phases\, each progressively building in intensity and complexity as we go along. Michael’s teaching is highly structured and organized. The course is entirely virtual (online) and takes place over time to allow the natural process of learning to occur with experiential learning in between phases. There is no substitute for the opportunity to take the skills back to your practice and have your own personal experience with your clients as you begin to integrate the newly learned skills. Then\, you can come back to the next phase of the training with relevant questions and experiences. In every phase\, the emphasis is on practicality: What are the practical implications of concepts being taught\, and what are the techniques derived from these insights? How can they be incorporated into your sessions? There will be structured practice sessions in every phase; after all\, the primary goal of the entire training is to give you the tools needed to integrate hypnosis skillfully into your clinical practice. There will be didactic presentations on key topics\, video demonstrations\, and ample opportunity for addressing questions and discussing the finer points of presented material. \nCourse Brochure: 60-Hr_Comprehensive_Hypnosis_Training_Brochure
