DESCRIPTION:Registration for both courses opens April 27 on our new portal! \nOverview\n\n\nLevel 1 introduces licensed healthcare professionals to the foundational principles and skills of clinical hypnosis. Participants learn how to conduct hypnotic inductions\, deliver therapeutic suggestions\, and begin applying hypnosis ethically and effectively in clinical practice through instruction\, demonstration\, and supervised practice. \nLevel 2 builds on the skills learned in Level 1 by deepening clinical competence and confidence. Participants refine their use of hypnotic language\, learn more advanced techniques and applications for specific clinical issues and populations\, and gain additional supervised practice to strengthen clinical judgment and effectiveness \nImportant Notes\n\n\nParticipants are expected to attend all days.\nDetailed workshop schedules\, faculty information\, and materials will be available online one–two weeks prior to the start date.\nWorkshop materials will be provided in electronic form only.\nLevel 1 must be completed prior to taking Level 2.\nApproximately one week before the workshop\, registered participants will receive a link to a private webpage with handouts and resource materials.\nLevel 1 and Level 2 participants can earn approximately 20-22 CE hours (see accreditation statement at the end of this page)\n\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\nFacilitate change\, ego-strengthen\, and reduce impediments to change\nCost-effective\, collaborative\, person-centered treatment\nEmpower clients and patients to build skills for better health\nLearn a highly creative\, broad-ranging technique for use in integrative medicine\n\nLevel 1 Course Chair \nEric Willmarth\, PhD \nDr. Willmarth is a past-president of the American Society for Clinical Hypnosis as well as the past-president of the Society for Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis and the Society for Psychological Hypnosis (APA Div. 30).
