SUMMARY:ASCH Webinar: Rapid Inductions
DESCRIPTION:Date: October 8\, 2026 \nTime: 7:00–9:00 PM (Eastern Time) \nFormat: Live Zoom Webinar \nCE Credit: 2 CE hours\nPresenter:   Gabor Filo\, DDS\, ABHD \nRegistration Fees: \n\nMember: $45\nNon-Member: $65\nGraduate Student: $35\nResident: $35\n\nRegister Here  \nRapid hypnosis is considered the domain of entertainers. Yet\, it belongs to the canon of hypnosis with which clinical hypnotists may be unfamiliar. This foray into the art and science of rapid hypnosis offers information that is infrequently and seldom taught today in professional settings.   \nCovered topics include the research-based underpinnings of rapid inductions\, ethics\, suggestibility tests as induction segues\, diverse induction categories with examples and variations on the themes\, and practice integration considerations.  \nHands-on clinicians will enhance their repertoire and armamentarium\, while mental health clinicians will expand their perspectives on hypnosis. \nAt the completion of the workshop\, participants will be able to: \n\nDescribe the differences between types of inductions.\nExplain how to utilize what the patient brings to the session and how it may be utilized rapidly.\nDemonstrate how suggestibility/hypnotizability testing may be utilized as an induction.\nList three or more categories of rapid inductions and their underpinnings.\n\nSpeaker’s Bio: Dr Filo graduated from University of Toronto Faculty of Dentistry in 1984. Since then\, he has been an ardent and passionate proponent of dental hypnosis. During the last four decades\, he has proselytized to fellow dentists at many of the major North American dental conferences. \nHe is a Diplomate of the American Board of Hypnosis in Dentistry\, a Life Fellow of the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis and an Honourary member of the Canadian Society of Clinical Hypnosis – Ontario Division and the Hungarian Association of Hypnosis. He is also a Fellow of the Academy of General Dentistry and the Pierre Fouchard Academy. \nHe has belonged to the major hypnosis societies\, participating organizationally and as faculty\, both nationally and internationally. He has authored articles\, chapters and a DVD on Rapid Hypnosis and the book Rapid Hypnosis the Clinician’s Guide. \nHe has formed the Arch-Of-Hypnodontists\, a select group of international dental hypnotists\, that meet monthly to preserve the legacy of dental hypnosis by recording their discussions. \nHis private practice emphasizes the non-pharmacological treatment of dental anxiety and phobia. \nProgram References – Rapid Inductions-ASCH Webinar 6.3.2026 References \nImportant Information \nOnline registration will take you to the ASCH site and require a new account set-up (non-members) or Member login.  If you are an ASCH member enter the email address associated with your ASCH Membership as our UserID; click Forgot Password to set a new password.  \nPayments are made in a secure online environment.  The system DOES NOT save credit card information once the transaction has been completed and registration submitted.  \nContinuing Education Hours  \nOnline attendance\, full engagement\, and completion of a pre-test\, post-test and daily program evaluations are required for a certificate of completion.  \nCancellations  \nCancellations must be made in writing to info@asch.net.

SUMMARY:ASCH Advanced Workshop: Quality of Life in High-Impact Chronic Pain: The Role of Hypnosis
DESCRIPTION:Dates: December 5th and 6th\, 2026 \nTime: 10:00AM–5:00 PM (Eastern Time) Each Day \nFormat: Live Zoom  \nCE Credit: 12 CE hours \nRegister Here – https://members.asch.net/events/event-details/?id=e098b21f-d664-f111-9b48-7c1e52a0ebef \nIf you work with folks with chronic pain\, you know that for some it moves beyond being an annoyance and starts to take over their lives. Over time\, these individuals may do less and less\, see fewer and fewer people\, enjoy fewer and fewer things\, worry and rage more and more\, and their life shrinks down to just their pain and its effects.  This pattern is common enough that the CDC has recently provided the label High-Impact Chronic Pain (HICP) to describe such conditions.  Clinicians from both the physical medicine and mental health sectors often feel helpless and overwhelmed when confronted with patients engaged in such patterns of behavior.  Fortunately\, Drs. Hall and Vair have years of experience with such populations and have learned ways that strategic education and intervention\, centered around an approach that integrates clinical hypnosis techniques\, can turn the tide for these individuals so that their lives start to grow again as the overwhelm of pain shrinks.   \nJoin ASCH for a 2-day\, 12-hour online workshop on using clinical hypnosis to improve quality of life in those most impacted by chronic pain. Day 1 centers on how pain changes us internally\, while Day 2 focuses on how it impacts us externally\, offering both hypnotic and other tools for promoting positive change.   \nAt the end of this presentation\, participating physicians and other clinicians will be able to: \n\nIdentify three differences between acute and chronic pain.\nDefine the relationship between pain and suffering.\nDescribe 3 crucial points of information that clients need to learn to shift the conversation about chronic pain in a more helpful direction.\nIdentify 8 brain regions that offer possibilities to use clinical hypnosis to change the experience of pain.\nDemonstrate the use of a structured interview to determine the relative importance of each brain region to the client’s experience of their pain and as a guide for hypnotic treatment.\nDefine the foundational aspects of a Whole Health approach to care\, including how to utilize this framework to engage individuals in active self-management of chronic pain.\nIdentify relationships between established\, evidence-informed approaches for the use of hypnosis and the Whole Health approach to care.\nIdentify ways to enhance clinical practice through utilizing person-centered hypnotic approaches.\nDefine eight aspects of personal well-being that can be addressed in chronic pain using hypnosis.\nState 2 brief “elevator speeches” to describe this approach to treating chronic pain\, one for professional colleagues\, and the second for patients and loved ones.\n\nPlease note: To participate in ASCH’s advanced workshops\, you must have completed a Level 1 Clinical Workshop \nPresenters:  \n \nJohn Hall\, PhD\, ABPP\, is a clinical health psychologist with the Charlotte Clinic of the Salisbury VA Health Care System’s Whole Health Chronic Pain Team.  He is a fellow of the American Academy of Clinical Health Psychology and the American Psychological Association\, an approved consultant and Past President of the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis\, board lead for continuing education of the North Carolina Society of Clinical Hypnosis\, tech-wrangler for the Hypnotic Idea Exchange\, and an SME for both the Clinical Hypnosis and Guided Imagery rollouts of OPCC&CT.  Outside of work\, he is (without dysphoria) an Appalachian grandmother in gay bear body turning seeds into food\, turning fiber into clothes\, singing in church\, and spending time with his husband and rescue dogs (Charlie & Riley).  \n  \nChristina L.
