SUMMARY:Advanced Workshop: Hypnosis and Performance Enhancement
DESCRIPTION:Register Here! \nAdvanced Workshop: Hypnosis and Performance Enhancement \nHeld virtually \nDates: Saturday\, September 13\, 2025 & Sunday\, September 14\, 2025 – Each day : 10 – 5pm\, 2 15-minute breaks and 30-minute lunch \nCE: 12 \nDescription: If you work with people who want to get better at something in their lives – whether your clients are athletes\, artists\, performers\, students\, writers\,  professionals in the workplace\, or those simply trying to achieve work-life balance – you know that mental health challenges can derail performance.  For example\, studies show depression affects between 6-34% of high-level athletes\, with anxiety and burnout common during transitions\, injuries\, or high-pressure events. Despite the growing awareness of the importance of mental health\, many still struggle to get to the next level of performance no matter what field of play or work. In the spirit of “skills not pills” (see Dr. Michael Yapko) this workshop will provide clinicians who use hypnosis the opportunity to experience several hypnotically informed strategies to draw out the best performance in their clients\, whether they perform on stage\, the playing field\, or in the office. It will provide practical ways to help your clients achieve peak performance\, improve your own tennis or pickle ball serve\, enhance creativity\, and also\, tackle mental health challenges in the process.  \nPhoto by Alex Werden.

SUMMARY:ASCH Level 1 & Level 2 Workshop
DESCRIPTION:ASCH Level 1 & Level 2 Workshop  \nThursday\, September 18th  – Sunday\, September 21st    \nOur Clinical Hypnosis training program offers a progressive series of workshops designed to equip licensed health professionals with skills to incorporate clinical hypnosis into their practices. In the Level 1 workshop\, participants learn the foundational principles and techniques of hypnosis\, including inductions\, suggestions\, and therapeutic strategies\, guided by experienced faculty from various health disciplines. This course blends presentations\, demonstrations\, and hands-on practice to provide basic skills for immediate application. Building on this foundation\, the Level 2 workshop delves deeper into clinical hypnosis\, expanding on “how to” by adding the “when\, why\, and where” for techniques\, especially for specific populations and complex cases like pain and anxiety management. Advanced skills such as complex inductions and the nuanced use of suggestion language are explored with expert feedback. For those seeking continued growth\, Advanced Workshops offered throughout the year cover specialized topics\, including behavioral medicine and mind-body integration\, enabling participants to further enhance and apply their skills in targeted areas. Each level builds confidence\, competence\, and the ability to provide patient-centered\, integrative care  \nImportant Notes  \n\nRegister for only ONE Workshop – Participants are expected to attend all days. \n\n\nDetailed workshop schedules\, faculty and other materials will be available to participants\, online\, two weeks before the start date.  Workshop materials will be available in electronic form only. \n\n\nYou must complete Level 1 prior to taking Level 2. \n\n\nApproximately one week before the workshop\, registered participants will receive a link to a private webpage that will include links to handouts and resource materials.  This access will be good for seven days after the workshop has been completed.  Note: workshop handouts can be approximately 200+ pages for Level 1; 150+ pages for Level 2; and 100+ pages for Advanced.  \n\nClinical Workshop Level 1  \nThe Level 1 workshop\, the first part of a series of workshops in the certification program for clinical hypnosis\, is intended for licensed health professionals including physicians\, nurses\, psychologists\, dentists\, counselors\, social workers\, and those in related fields. A diverse faculty from a range of health disciplines will teach the principles and process of hypnotic inductions\, suggestions\, and treatment. The workshop is a mix of didactic presentations\, demonstrations\, experiential exercises\, and faculty-led small group practice tailored to the specific needs and learning styles of each participant. At the conclusion of the workshop participants will have been taught the basic skills required to utilize clinical hypnosis and begin to apply it to their practice.  \nAdvantages:  \n\nRapidly establish rapport and the hypnotic relationship across developmental ages. \n\n\nFacilitate change\, ego-strengthen\, and reduce impediments to change. \n\n\nCost-effective\, collaborative\, person-centered treatment. \n\n\nEmpower clients and patients to build skills for better health. \n\n\nLearn a highly creative\, broad-ranging technique for use in integrative medicine. \n\nLevel 1 Schedule  \n(All times listed are in EST.

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: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: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:When Intuition Meets Hypnosis: An Integrative\, Relational Approach to Healing Trauma with the CORE model
DESCRIPTION:Register Here!\nAdvanced Workshop : When Intuition Meets Hypnosis: An Integrative\, Relational Approach to Healing Trauma with the CORE model \nDates: September 26th and 27th\, Held virtually \nTime: 10am- 3pm ET each day \nAGENDA: Agenda for 2-day course \nCE hours: 8 \nPrice: $470 Member\, $675 Non-Member\, $470 Grad & Resident/Intern \nDescription: The events of life cannot be changed; however\, when the intuitive resources of the unconscious mind are integrated with the methodologies of Hypnosis\, perceptions can be altered\, meanings can be reframed\, and healing can occur. This two-day didactic and experiential workshop will introduce the four components of the CORE Model: Connect\, Orient\, Resource\, Establish\, an innovative\, relational approach that creates a context of attunement in which therapeutic alliances can be safely established and securely thrive. In this compassionate environment\, hypnosis methodologies\, utilized along with the intuitive guidance of both clinician and client\, develop a fertile foundation for the unconscious mind and the conscious mind to do their best work. Within this consciously/intuitively integrated dynamic\, reassociations of dormant\, latent\, and forgotten phenomena of resilience can be safely elicited\, and new awarenesses of ego strengths can become realized\, absorbed\, and securely anchored to endure.  \nAt the end of this workshop\, participants will be able to:  \n\nName the four features of the CORE model.\nDescribe the phenomenology of at least one feature of the CORE model.\nIdentify two phenomenological features of intuition. \nExplain one way in which the CORE model is an integrative approach to treatment.\nList at least two features of hypnosis methodology that can be integrated with intuitive guidance.\nGiven a hypothetical or actual client\, create an idea for a session that would include some aspect of unconscious\, intuitive guidance\, with an aspect of hypnosis methodology.\n\n  \nSpeaker information: North Carolina Society of Clinical Hypnosis Board member Bette Freedson\, LCSW\, LICSW\, CGP is a clinical social worker\, an ASCH Approved Consultant and an author and speaker.

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.

Essential core principles to guide your work with complex trauma and dissociative disorders will be included.  Therapeutic applications rooted in EST theory across the phases of trauma treatment will be addressed as well as applications that target specific symptoms common to D.I.D\, such as self-harm\, suicidal ideation\, intrusive thoughts/voices\, sleep struggles\, negative beliefs\, developmental repair\, and emotional regulation. Strategies for promoting the 4-C’s will be addressed\, including promoting cooperation and collaboration among parts. Lemke’s 4-C ego state therapy model for integrated functioning and her applications of ‘playing with the space’ will not only provide strategies for accessing resources and skills\, but more importantly how to stay connected to those skills/resources when the client needs them.  All applications are addressed through an EST approach that incorporates advances in dissociation\, neuropsychology\, attachment\, and the art of being hypnotic with suggestions primed for safety. \n\n\nLearning Objectives:  \n\n\nExplain the importance of phase-oriented treatment and Lemke’s 4-C approach when treating dissociative disorders. \n\n\nDesign metaphors based on utilization for specific DID treatment concern including resistance \n\n\nExplain and incorporate Lemke’s P-principles for ‘safely’ navigating the unique needs of each client and all their parts with suggestions that apply to the entire system.  \n\n\nDemonstrate how suggestions related to internal imagery can promote more cooperative collaboration amongst parts. \n\n\nDemonstrate three strategies that promote secure attachment and ability to self-regulate.

SUMMARY:Hypnosis and Zen-Buddhism for Pain and Suffering
DESCRIPTION:Register here!\nAdvanced Workshop: Hypnosis and Zen-Buddhism for Pain and Suffering with Dr. Dave Patterson. \nInformation\nHeld virtually\, 22 hours of CE \n\nThursday\, Nov 6th – 5:00PM EST (2:00 PM PST) to 9:00PM EST  (6:00PM PST) \nFriday\, Nov 7th – 5:00PM EST (2:00PM) PST to 9:00PM EST (6:00PM PST)\nSaturday\, Nov 8th  – 10:00AM EST (7:00AM PST) to 6:00PM EST (2:00 PM PST)\, with 1 hour break between 1-2pm EST (10-11AM PST) \nSunday\, Nov 9th – 10:00AM EST (7:00AM PST) to 6:00PM EST (2:00 PM PST) with 1 hour break between 1-2pm EST (10-11AM PST)\n\nThis four-day workshop will focus on the use of hypnosis\, meditation\, and motivational interview to treat acute pain and manage chronic suffering. The workshop will train participants in an eight-module psychotherapy approach for managing chronic pain and illness that is described in Patterson and Mendoza’s Clinical Pain for Hypnosis (2024). Participants will go through several cycles of learning the science and theory behind a hypnotic approach\, observing the trainer perform an induction and then practicing the skills on a partner. The practice sessions will focus on learning a module of a complex induction well\, and then combining several modules in a way that participants can offer advanced\, non-linear inductions to their patients. This offers an effective way to learn complex concepts that is low stress and fun. The modern science of the unconscious will be emphasized as well as Ericksonian approaches. We will also use a neurophysiological conceptualization of a non-dualistic self to facilitate both meditation and hypnosis. The practice exercises with participants will be designed so they will be better able to manage pain and suffering in patients but also will find examples that are useful in their own lives.  \nLearning Objectives\nAt the end of the workshop participants will be able to:  \n\nDescribe the difference between acute and chronic pain \nArticulate hypnotic approaches to acute and chronic pain \nDescribe the components of a biopsychosocial assessment approach to chronic pain and illness \nPerform six approaches to hypnosis that were used by Erickson later in his career \nDescribe at least four concepts from the modern science of unconscious that apply to hypnosis \nArticulate a scientific based conceptualization of the illusion of self that leads to meditation training. \n\n\nSpeaker information\nDavid Patterson\, Ph.D.\, is professor emeritus of psychology in the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine at the University of Washington School of Medicine.

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: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. She was the coordinator for the Masters Educational psychology programme with lecturing responsibilities in therapeutic interventions and counselling skills in the Department of Educational psychology\, University of Johannesburg\, for nine years.

SUMMARY:ASCH Level 1 & Level 2 Workshop 
DESCRIPTION:ASCH Level 1 & Level 2 Workshop  \nThursday\, November 13th – Sunday\, November 16th     \nOur Clinical Hypnosis training program offers a progressive series of workshops designed to equip licensed health professionals with skills to incorporate clinical hypnosis into their practices. In the Level 1 workshop\, participants learn the foundational principles and techniques of hypnosis\, including inductions\, suggestions\, and therapeutic strategies\, guided by experienced faculty from various health disciplines. This course blends presentations\, demonstrations\, and hands-on practice to provide basic skills for immediate application. Building on this foundation\, the Level 2 workshop delves deeper into clinical hypnosis\, expanding on “how to” by adding the “when\, why\, and where” for techniques\, especially for specific populations and complex cases like pain and anxiety management. Advanced skills such as complex inductions and the nuanced use of suggestion language are explored with expert feedback. For those seeking continued growth\, Advanced Workshops offered throughout the year cover specialized topics\, including behavioral medicine and mind-body integration\, enabling participants to further enhance and apply their skills in targeted areas. Each level builds confidence\, competence\, and the ability to provide patient-centered\, integrative care  \nImportant Notes  \n\nRegister for only ONE Workshop – Participants are expected to attend all days. \n\n\nDetailed workshop schedules\, faculty and other materials will be available to participants\, online\, two weeks before the start date.  Workshop materials will be available in electronic form only. \n\n\nYou must complete Level 1 prior to taking Level 2. \n\n\nApproximately one week before the workshop\, registered participants will receive a link to a private webpage that will include links to handouts and resource materials.  This access will be good for seven days after the workshop has been completed.  Note: workshop handouts can be approximately 200+ pages for Level 1; 150+ pages for Level 2; and 100+ pages for Advanced.  \n\nClinical Workshop Level 1  \nThe Level 1 workshop\, the first part of a series of workshops in the certification program for clinical hypnosis\, is intended for licensed health professionals including physicians\, nurses\, psychologists\, dentists\, counselors\, social workers\, and those in related fields. A diverse faculty from a range of health disciplines will teach the principles and process of hypnotic inductions\, suggestions\, and treatment. The workshop is a mix of didactic presentations\, demonstrations\, experiential exercises\, and faculty-led small group practice tailored to the specific needs and learning styles of each participant. At the conclusion of the workshop participants will have been taught the basic skills required to utilize clinical hypnosis and begin to apply it to their practice.  \nAdvantages:  \n\nRapidly establish rapport and the hypnotic relationship across developmental ages. \n\n\nFacilitate change\, ego-strengthen\, and reduce impediments to change. \n\n\nCost-effective\, collaborative\, person-centered treatment. \n\n\nEmpower clients and patients to build skills for better health. \n\n\nLearn a highly creative\, broad-ranging technique for use in integrative medicine. \n\nLevel 1 Schedule  \n(All times listed are in EST. Times are subject to minor changes)  \n\n\n\nThursday\, November 13\, 2025 \n6:00 PM-9:30 PM \n\n\nFriday\, November 14\, 2025 \n8:15 AM-6:00 PM \n\n\nSaturday\, November 15\, 2025 \n8:15 AM-6:00 PM \n\n\nSunday\, November 16\, 2025 \n8:15 AM-12:00 PM \n\n\n\nAn agenda with faculty assignments will be sent to registrants approximately 1-2 weeks prior to the live course date. \nLEVEL 1 IS FULL. We expect to have another Level 1 in February.\n  \nClinical Workshop Level 2  \nThe second step in certification training is to strengthen skills\, strategies\, and applications of clinical hypnosis. Part one taught “how to” do clinical hypnosis\, and part two builds on this skill set and refines and furthers development to add the when\, why\, and where to the “how-to”.  \nAdvantages:  \n\nIntroduction to a wider range of topics on the utility of clinical hypnosis (e.g.\, Pain Management; Anxiety and Sleep Disorders; Habit Disorders). \n\n\nLearn more techniques for the creative use of the language of suggestion to facilitate change. \n\n\nLearn specific tools (complex inductions and intensification techniques) for specific populations (children). \n\n\nMore practice with the feedback of expert faculty. \n\nThe Level 2 workshop increases skills and builds confidence in the use of hypnosis. It prepares the workshop participant to move on to the Advanced Workshop level and Individual Consultation with a strong basis of skills and understanding of the principles and practice of clinical hypnosis.  \nLevel 2 Schedule  \n(All times listed are in EST. Times are subject to minor changes)  \n\n\n\nThursday\, November 13\, 2025 \n6:00 PM-9:30 PM \n\n\nFriday\, November 14\, 2025 \n8:15 AM-6:00 PM \n\n\nSaturday\, November 15\, 2025 \n8:15 AM-6:00 PM \n\n\nSunday\, November 16\, 2025 \n8:15 AM-12:00 PM \n\n\n\nAn agenda with faculty assignments will be sent to registrants approximately 1-2 weeks prior to the live course date. \nRegister for Level 2 – Click here\n  \nDetails and Fees  \n\n\n\nCourse \nMember \nNon-Member \nResident/Intern/Fellow \nGraduate Student \n\n\nLevel 1 \n$500 \n$675 \n$400 \n$320 \n\n\nLevel 2 \n$500 \n$675 \n$400 \n$320 \n\n\n\n  \nRegistration Instructions  \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 can now be 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.

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: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: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:Hypnosis For Acute Pain (CHSNJ)
DESCRIPTION:Organization: Clinical Hypnosis Society of New Jersey (CHSNJ) \nWebsite: https://www.clinicalhypnosisnj.org/event-6380804  \nEvent Title: Hypnosis For Acute Pain  \nAgenda:  Patterson_Timed_Agenda (1) \nDates: 12/13/2025\, 11am -1:30pm ET \nLocation: virtual  \nCE: 2  \nContact :  ginnydinsmore@gmail.com Virginia Dinsmore  \nAbstract: This two-hour program will focus on using hypnosis for managing pain from two types of acute pain etiologies: acute pain crisis and procedural pain. The presenter will provide theoretical background and clinical demonstration for using hypnosis with both types of pain. Hypnosis for crisis involves very rapid\, direct inductions. For procedural pain\, patients undergo a hypnotic session well before the medical procedure (e.g.\, surgery\, dentistry\, childbirth\, burn care). The procedural hypnotical induction makes use of priming\, confusion\, amnesia\, and post-hypnotic suggestion. The presenter will describe each of these hypnotic techniques and then demonstrate them.  \nThis is a Clinical Conversation – one in a series; Appropriate for beginners – advanced. \nLearning Objectives: At the conclusion of this workshop\, participants will be able to: \n\nDescribe the difference between treating acute and chronic pain \n\n\nList and utilize one quick hypnotic induction for patients in crisis \n\n\nList and utilize one induction for procedural pain \n\n\nDescribe how principles of priming\, confusion\, and amnesia can be integrated into a hypnotic intervention for procedural pain \n\nSpeaker info: David R.

SUMMARY:Hypnotically Informed Psychotherapy (CHSNJ)
DESCRIPTION:Organization: Clinical Hypnosis Society of New Jersey  \nWebsite: https://www.clinicalhypnosisnj.org/events  \nEvent Title:  Hypnotically Informed Psychotherapy\, Advanced Workshop  \nAgenda: HIP_timed_agenda \nDates: 1/10/26\, 10am – 1pm ET \nLocation: Virtual  \nCE: 3  \nContact : Robert Staffin\, drstaffin@gmail.com  \nAbstract: Whether you have a background in hypnosis or are simply curious\, this course will provide a brief overview of hypnosis and then offer examples of how the principles that underlie the processes of hypnosis can be woven into one’s clinical practice regardless of one’s theoretical orientation.    \n  Hypnosis has a rich academic and clinical history. The clinician who understands the underpinnings of hypnosis\, e.g.\, how to fixate attention\, depotentiate conscious sets\, and cultivate unconscious searches\, is better able to identify\, elicit\, and utilize these naturally occurring “states” to make their clinical work more impactful.    \n  Much of what skilled clinicians do can be viewed through a hypnotic lens. This program will highlight how what you are likely doing already can be done with greater strategic and mindful intent.  \nLearning Objectives: At the conclusion of this program\, participants will be able to: \n1. List the six core competencies of Ericksonian therapy. \n2. Outline the 5 microdynamic steps of trance elicitation described by Erickson\,\n     Rossi\, and Rossi\, (1976) \n3. Define the concept of “influence ” as it is used in the social psychocology     \n     literature.  \n Speaker info: Rob Staffin\, PsyD\, ABPH is a clinical psychologist who is licensed in New Jersey and New York. He is also authorized to practice interjurisdictional psychology via telehealth by the PSYPACT Commission. Dr. Staffin received his doctorate from Yeshiva University’s Ferkauf graduate school of psychology in 1990.  He studied infant social development with Dr. Beatrice Beebe. Rob has been studying\, teaching\, and writing about hypnosis for more than 20 years.  He is an Approved Consultant of the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis (ASCH) and a Diplomate of the American Board of Psychological Hypnosis.  Rob is the President of the Clinical Hypnosis Society of New Jersey (CHSNJ)\, a component section of ASCH.  He is the author of\, More Common Therapy: the experiential psychotherapy of Jeffrey K. Zeig\, Ph.D.  He characterizes the book as an advanced how to guide for clinicians interested in cultivating their skills in clinical hypnosis.  His most recent article\, Hypnotically Informed Psychotherapy: Erickson and Beyond\, is published online ahead of print in the International Journal of Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis. Rob maintains a private practice in Teaneck\, NJ where provides individual therapy and offers individual and group consultation both in person and remotely.  \n
