SUMMARY:Suggestive Therapeutics and Unconscious Intelligence
DESCRIPTION:Organization: Oregon Society of Clinical Hypnosis (OSCH) \nWebsite: https://oregonhypnosis.org/event-5725436 \nEvent Title: Suggestive Therapeutics and Unconscious Intelligence \nDates: 09/28/24-09/29/24 \nLocation: In Person and Virtual \nCE: 12 \nContact: Cynthia Levesque\, Vicepresident@oregonhypnosis.org \nAbstract:\nPracticing as an Ericksonian therapist for over thirty years\, Dr. Short has a great deal of experience working with the client’s unconscious resources as well as conscious resources. After seeing that some clients (and some therapists) are uncomfortable with hypnosis\, Dr. Short began teaching others how to engage people’s unconscious intelligence in problem solving endeavors without requiring altered states of consciousness or formal trance induction. In this way\, the experience of free choice is maintained as the therapist guides the therapeutic endeavor using an invisible hand. \nThe research-based methods Dr. Short teaches rely mostly on creative imagination\, storytelling and symbolic imagery as well as strategic framing effects\, which are collectively known as choice architecture. These techniques\, which include: contrasting effects\, implementation intentions\, prediction\, reimagining\, and incubated cognition; are transtheoretical\, meaning that they can be incorporated into any school of thought. The presentation will also address the use of choice architecture in psychotherapy—a topic that is gaining a lot of research attention in behavioral economics. While this presentation will be of special interest to Ericksonian therapists and traditional hypnotherapists\, anyone practicing psychotherapy will find practical benefit from the techniques\, which can be used with or without hypnosis. \nDr. Short has a wealth of information on unconscious process work and its clinical applications. With these new skills\, participants will learn how to empower their clients with unexpected possibilities. This seminar will be an impressive mix of history\, live demonstrations\, inspiring clinical examples\, and opportunities for hands-on practice. \nLearning Objectives:\n1 . Judge the value of unconscious intelligence for clinical applications in contrast to traditional talk therapy. \n2. Debate methods to engage people’s unconscious intelligence in problem solving endeavors\, without the formal use of hypnosis or altered states of consciousness. \n3. Use predetermined criteria to judge eight different methods for engaging unconscious intelligence

SUMMARY:2024 Max Shapiro Level 1 VIRTUAL Workshop in Clinical Hypnosis (New England Society of Clinical Hypnosis)
DESCRIPTION:Organization: New England Society of Clinical Hypnosis \nWebsite: https://www.nesch.org/event-5841938 \nEvent Title: 2024 Max Shapiro Level 1 VIRTUAL Workshop in Clinical Hypnosis \nDates: Oct. 5-6 & 19-20\, 2024 \nLocation: Virtual \nCE: 22.0 \nContact: neschmsc@gmail.org \nAbstract:\nIn this intensive workshop participants receive in-depth training in both the theory and practice of clinical hypnosis from some of New England’s leading hypnosis practitioners. The workshop is composed of a mix of didactic presentations\, demonstrations\, experiential exercises\, and faculty led small group practice tailored to the specific needs\, interests\, and learning styles of workshop participants. Clinical hypnosis deepens the work of mind-body practices such as mindfulness meditation. Adding hypnosis allows our clients/patients to become even more deeply aware of their inner states and fosters awareness of their own strengths\, resources and problem-solving abilities. There has been extensive research demonstrating its effectiveness in treating a number of mind-body conditions\, and in expediting habit change\, facilitating pain management and enhancing treatment of depression and anxiety. \nLearning Objectives:\nUpon completion of the workshop\, participants will be able to incorporate the following in their clinical practice: \n\nIdentify and demonstrate four ways to facilitate hypnotic trance and appropriately reorient patients from a trance state.\nDemonstrate three strategies for facilitating intensification of trance.\nDescribe four conditions in which hypnosis might be successfully utilized.

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 strictly follows the most up-to-date ASCH-ERF Standards of Training for a Level 1 workshop and proposes 21.5 hours of CE hours. \nThe 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 (with client consent). Each stage of the hypnotic process will be taught\, explored\, and practiced. The workshop will include four separate small group practice sessions\, with at least 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.

DESCRIPTION:Organization: Minnesota Society of Clinical Hypnosis (MSCH) \nWebsite: https://www.msch.us/education/2024-rosenthal-w-mark-weisberg-phd-abpp/ \nEvent Title: Mind-Body Approaches to Hypnosis for Addressing Digestive Issues\, Autoimmune Disorders and other Psychophysiological Problems \nDate: October 26\, 2024 \nLocation: Virtual \nCE: 6.0 \nContact: deb@msch.us \nAbstract:\nIn this 6-hour workshop\, participants will get practical\, hands-on training on how to apply hypnosis effectively with a range of digestive disorders as well as autoimmune disorders. Dr. Weisberg will first provide important foundational information about how the nervous system changes in these chronic conditions\, and how to intervene with these issues. Participants will gain valuable information about the problem of normal dissociation and the capacity to tolerate uncomfortable sensations in the body\, as well as how early attachment affects this. Participants will also learn specific hypnotic interventions to help patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)\, inflammatory bowel diseases such as Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis\, and multiple autoimmune conditions. Dr. Weisberg will convey these concepts through a combination of didactics\, demonstration\, experiential exercises\, and\, of course\, humor. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nDescribe the relationship between chronic digestive disorders\, central sensitization\, and autonomic dysregulation\nDescribe core concepts in psychoneuroimmunology and the importance of applying applications of hypnosis\nExplain the importance of helping patients tolerate sensations in the body\nDescribe the relationship between attachment and the capacity to tolerate sensations in the body\nName at least 2 hypnotic interventions for the patient with IBS\nDescribe how to help a patient with IBS to become less fearful and avoid of difficult abdominal sensations\nDescribe the primary symptoms to target in hypnotic intervention for an autoimmune disorder\nDescribe a hypnotic approach

SUMMARY:Hypnotic Language: Lessons Learned from Dr. Kay Thompson (Medical Hypnosis Consultants\, PLLC)
DESCRIPTION:Organization: Medical Hypnosis Consultants\, PLLC \nWebsite: MedicalHypnosisConsultants.org \nEvent Title: Hypnotic Language: Lessons Learned from Dr. Kay Thompson \nDates: 10/29/2024 \nLocation: Virtual \nCE: 5.0 \nContact: Holly Forester-Miller\, Hollyforestermiller@gmail.com \nAbstract:\nThis hands-on workshop is designed to help practitioners enhance their therapeutic communication and better understand the impact of language on healing. Dr. Forester-Miller will share much of what she learned from her mentor\, Dr. Kay Thompson\, the first female President of ASCH. Besides going to workshops led by Dr. Thompson\, Holly co-taught with Kay for several years and met with her for individual supervision once a month for 3 years. Holly knows\, “So much of what I do and say as a therapist and a hypnotherapist has been shaped by the time I spent with Kay”. Participants will learn to view everything they say as suggestions and how to start seeding hypnotic suggestions prior to doing any formal trance work. We will discuss the importance of reframing and how to help reframe clients/patients’ self-talk which is the suggestions they give themselves – often unwittingly. As well you will learn to identify and help reframe the suggestions they have internalized from others. These suggestions will be examined as to how they relate to the placebo and nocebo effects. We will address all aspects of language\, not just the simple words. Kay believed the unconscious mind could process all meanings of a word. Participants will learn how to develop “wordplay” and metaphors utilizing this concept. A key to understanding the amazing skills of Dr. Kay Thompson is to always think of suggestions whether they be direct\, indirect\, or metaphoric as being based on the outcome desired by the client. \nLearning Objectives:\nAs a result of this activity participants will be able to: \n\nDemonstrate reframing a client’s concern as the outcomes they desire.\nDevelop language usage in the form of “word play” that they can incorporate in their general patient communications\, as well as in their hypnotic communication.\nConstruct a metaphor that they can incorporate in their hypnotic communication\, as well as utilize as a hypnotic facilitation.\nState five implicative words and how they impact patients.\nDemonstrate how to reframe self-talk/suggestions to minimize the potential nocebo effect for clients/patients

SUMMARY:Utilizing Hypnosis in the Treatment of Narcissistic Wounds in Psychotherapy: A Relational Approach (Eric Spiegel\, Ph.D.)
DESCRIPTION:Website: https://www.ericspiegelphd.com/training/ \nEvent Title: Utilizing Hypnosis in the Treatment of Narcissistic Wounds in Psychotherapy: A Relational Approach \nDates: 11/1/24\, 10:00 AM-2:00 PM EDT \nLocation: Virtual \nCE: 4.0 \nContact: Eric Spiegel\, Ph.D. <espiegelphd@gmail.com> \nAbstract:\nThe dimension of narcissism influences a wide-range of character presentations and treatment issues occurring in psychotherapy in our modern age. Although clinical and public attention is often focused on the categorically-derived DSM-V diagnosis of Narcissistic Personality Disorder\, narcissistic wounds stemming from attachment failures are a more frequent occurrence in the development of the self. These arrests in the full formation of the self and their subsequent re-appearance in later relationship interactions are often referenced in a wide range of treatments.\nIn this workshop\, we will consider how Kohut’s self psychology and current innovations in attachment theory can help us understand narcissistic wounds and treatment issues across the dimension of narcissism. Further\, we will focus on the role that hypnosis can play in a relationally attuned therapeutic relationship towards facilitating attachment repair in patients with developmental arrests associated with narcissistic wounds (e.g. false-self identify formation\, affect dysregulation\, boundary difficulties\, etc.). Through a mixture of didactic and experiential training\, participants will develop increased competency in (1) understanding how the therapeutic relationship in general\, and clinical hypnosis from an attachment frame in particular\, can be utilized to re-build developmental structure and re-engage reflective functioning in this population of patients and (2) utilizing specific applications of clinical hypnosis towards this aim. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nIdentify the diagnostic features of narcissistic wounds.\nExplain how to implement a relational approach featuring hypnosis towards treating narcissistic wounds.\nUtilize 3 hypnotic interventions to regulate affect during “triggers” of narcissistic wounds.\nDevelop 3 hypnotic scenes that fit narcissistic identity presentation (e.g. false self) and facilitate developmental repair.

How do we navigate questions of treatment planning and where to start? When is a client ready for trauma processing? How do we invite access to traumatic material without triggering a crisis or switching? In this workshop\, learn through a combination of didactic content and experiential exercises how teaching clients with cPTSD and/or structural dissociation two key skills early in treatment fosters a sense of inner safety and lays the foundation for healing from past trauma\, while hedging against the two most common reasons for treatment failure. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nList the 5 symptoms of dissociation and 3 disturbances in self-organization in cPTSD\nSummarize current treatment guidelines for cPTSDSummarize clinical challenges posed by insecure attachment\nDemonstrate the two critical skills of present orienting and maintaining dual awareness\nMinimize the risk of re-traumatization during trauma reprocessing

SUMMARY:"Ancestral and Past Life Trauma" - An Extended Application of LeCron and Cheek's "Past Experience" Common Cause: Past Life Therapy\, Trauma\, and the Spiritual/Transpersonal (The Florida Society of Clinical Hypnosis)
DESCRIPTION:Organization: The Florida Society of Clinical Hypnosis (FSCH) \nWebsite: https://www.fsch.org/workshops/intermediate-workshop \nEvent Title: “Ancestral and Past Life Trauma” – An Extended Application of LeCron and Cheek’s “Past Experience” Common Cause: Past Life Therapy\, Trauma\, and the Spiritual/Transpersonal \nDates: 11/09/2024 – 11/10/2024 \nLocation: Virtual \nCE: 12.0 \nContact: Marie Wilson\, mariefsch@aol.com \nAbstract:\nThis didactic\, experiential workshop will address the successful utilization of hypnotic regression techniques in resolving/reducing a variety of chronic physiological\, cognitive\, and emotional issues when ideomotor signaling indicated the origin of the symptom/issue was linked to a trauma reportedly experienced during a “past life.” A theoretical basis and definition of “past life therapy” (PLT) will be presented which incorporates traditional concepts of family/systems theory\, CBT\, and trauma treatment. PLT protocols will be presented. Participants will have opportunities to experience a regression. They will be introduced to 60 years of research related to children who spontaneously remember a previous life. Alternative models which view the (PLT) experiences as purely fictional/metaphorical will also be presented. Using case transcripts of hypnotic experiences of the “past life” type\, participants will be asked to consider alternative theoretical models to explain the observed therapeutic effectiveness. We will present as models for consideration: (a) a model that relies on reincarnation as an explanatory factor\, (b) a “waking dream” model that assumes the experiences are purely fictional/metaphorical creations of the client’s unconscious\, and (c) indigenous medicine practices and constructs of “soul.”The topic of intuition will also be addressed; definitions\, examples of different types\, and how the use of intuition can be incorporated into PLT practice. We will address differentiating the subset of clients for whom the treatment approach would be contraindicated\, ways to discuss different theoretical bases underlying the technique with clients\, and the critical role of ideomotor signaling as a diagnostic component. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nArticulate a theoretical model to help explain how an event from a different lifetime could contribute significantly to a presenting symptom.\nUse ideomotor signaling/muscle testing to explore LeCron and Cheek’s “Past Experience” factor to rule out events from a different lifetime that are contributing significantly to a presenting symptom.\nExpand conceptualization of alternate causes of symptoms with a 4-dimensional model that adds to participants’ existing constructs for intra/interpersonal psychotherapy.\nList two or more symptoms (Axis I\, II\, and III) for which this approach has been shown to be useful.\nDiscuss applications of two classic trauma treatment strategies and CBT to such situations.\nUse hypnosis to have the client’s mind generate fictional/metaphorical dream-like imagery that can be utilized to reduce or eliminate a presenting symptom.\nIncorporate NDE-type phenomena when they emerge in the client’s experience.\nDifferentiate two types of clients for whom this approach might be contra-indicated.

SUMMARY:Hypnosis and Zen Buddhism in the Treatment of Pain and Suffering (Greater Philadelphia Society of Clinical Hypnosis)
DESCRIPTION:Organization: Greater Philadelphia Society of Clinical Hypnosis \nWebsite: https://gpsch.org/event/hypnosis-zen-buddism-in-the-treatment-webinar/ \nEvent Title: Hypnosis and Zen Buddhism in the Treatment of Pain and Suffering \nDates: November 10\, 2024 \nLocation: Virtual \nCE: 3.0 \nContact: Marcy Nadel\, marcy1116@aol.com \nAbstract:\nThis webinar will use didactics demonstrations to explain how psychotherapy informed by hypnosis and mindfulness can be used to treat chronic pain. The first half of the workshop will describe eight modules of content (assessment\, motivational interviewing\, cognitive restructuring\, activity monitoring\, hypnosis\, mindfulness\, treating psychological issues and sleep) that are ideally covered when working with people who want to improve managing chronic pain. A model of non-linear hypnosis will be described that enables the clinician to use this modality in treating the dimensions of pain elucidated through a biopsychosocial conceptualization. The second half of the webinar will present a model based on Zen Buddhism for introducing meditation to patients by using a model of the non-dualistic\, scientifically based illusion of the self\, along with a simple method for teaching meditation that is based on this. \nLearning Objectives:\nAt the end of the program\, participants will be able to: \n1. Describe the biological\, psychological and social components of a model to assess chronic pain for hypnotically based management.\n2. Articulate how implicit learning and priming serve as scientifically based methods to elicit unconscious processing for hypnotic interventions.\n3. Perform hypnotic inductions for pain that combine suggestions for modifying negative thoughts about pain with pain reduction

SUMMARY:Attachment-Focused Hypnosis in Psychotherapy: Relational Strategies for the Developmental Repair of Trauma and Chronic Pain (Eric Spiegel\, Ph.D)
DESCRIPTION:Website: https://eric-spiegel-phd.ce-go.com/relational-hypnosis-for-chronic-pain-and-functional-disorders \nEvent Title: Attachment-Focused Hypnosis in Psychotherapy: Relational Strategies for the Developmental Repair of Trauma and Chronic Pain \nDates: Friday\, November 15-Sunday\, November 17 \nLocation: Virtual \nCE: 20.0 \nContact: Eric Spiegel\, Ph.D.\, espiegelphd@gmail.com \nAbstract:\nThis workshop presents two complementary relational hypnotherapeutic approaches that can be incorporated into existing psychotherapy for patients with a range of clinical presentations\, including trauma\, pain\, and anxiety. In its utilization of shared attention\, tone of voice\, pacing\, language\, and imagery\, clinical hypnosis as a state\, relationship\, and technique offers psychotherapists a relational and experiential means for utilizing the therapeutic relationship to heal arrested internal\, structural\, and developmental functioning in their patients. In the first portion of this workshop\, participants will learn how hypnosis can facilitate attachment repair in patients with developmental arrests. The relational and psychological functions of attunement\, representation\, and mentalization are essential components of a secure attachment experience. The presenter will review the literature and describe how hypnosis can be applied in working with each of these areas of attachment to engage relatedness\, develop internal working models\, harness implicit relational knowing\, and cultivate reflective functioning. In the second portion of this workshop\, we will examine how hypnosis can be strategically utilized to evoke the three components of the therapeutic relationship: transference\, the contemporary (‘real’) relationship\, and the therapeutic alliance. We will review hypnotic strategies from each of these three components with the goal of differentiating when and how to elicit effect\, create containment\, and utilize rapport from the relationship to guide the treatment process. Participants will learn how hypnosis can serve as an ‘in-between’ state in which elements of this relational matrix can be utilized to great effect in advancing treatment process and outcome. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nDefine mentalization and explain how it develops during a healthy attachment process.\nIntegrate polyvagal and neurological phenomena into a conceptual framework for how trauma disrupts development.\nDefine hypnosis as a state\, procedure\, and relational experience.\nSummarize how hypnosis can be incorporated into trauma treatment by theoretical orientation & by phase of treatment.\nMatch each of the 3 phases (attunement\, representation\, mentalization) of the ARM hypnotherapy model with the appropriate developmental function(s) being repaired.\nArticulate how the hypnotic elements of attunement\, representation\, and mentalization can be used to facilitate developmental repair.\nExplain how the ‘symbiotic alliance’ in the attunement phase of hypnotherapy augments the ‘working alliance’ in psychotherapy.\nFormulate and deliver 2 hypnotic suggestions for enhancing attunement in the hypnotherapeutic relationship.\nDescribe the 3 types of representational hypnotherapeutic approaches.\nFormulate and deliver 2 hypnotic suggestions for developing mental representation of a secure attachment figure or ego state.\nFormulate and deliver 2 hypnotic suggestions for increasing self & object constancy across divergent experiential\, mental\, and ego states.\nOffer an indirect and direct hypnotic suggestion for the purpose of developing mentalization.\nFormulate and deliver 2 hypnotic suggestions for increasing the capacity for reflective awareness about mental states in developmentally arrested\npatients.\nUnderstand how hypnosis hastens the development of new perspectives\, realities\, and understanding in the ‘in-between’.\nFormulate 2 hypnotic strategies for evoking transference.\nFormulate 2 hypnotic strategies for evoking the contemporary (real) relationship.\nFormulate 2 hypnotic strategies to evoke the therapeutic alliance.\nConceptualize and implement a relational approach featuring hypnosis for the purpose of treating narcissistic wounds.\nUtilize 2 hypnotic interventions to regulate the effect during “triggers” of narcissistic wounds.\nDevelop a hypnotic scene that addresses narcissistic spectrum presentation (e.g. false self) and facilitates developmental repair.\nUtilize principles of attachment & relationship to create a hypnotic scene for the purpose of modulating pain.\nUtilize principles of attachment & relationship to create a hypnotic scene for the purpose of modulating anxiety

SUMMARY:Hypnotic Psychotherapy and the Art of Balancing Mindful Resources (Central Texas Society of Clinical Hypnosis)
DESCRIPTION:Organization:  Central Texas Society of Clinical Hypnosis (CTSCH) \nWebsite: http://ctsch.com/hypnotic-psychotherapy/ \nEvent Title: Hypnotic Psychotherapy and the Art of Balancing Mindful Resources \nDates: 11/15/2024 \nLocation: Virtual \nCE: 2.0 \nContact: CTSCH@CTSCH.com \nAbstract:\nPsychotherapy is often approached in ways that can polarize conscious and unconscious aspects of mind\, deepening a problematic dissociation from one’s internal resources. This workshop offers ways to assist clients in accessing unconscious resources and comfortably holding themselves in the experiential field between conscious thought and unconscious process. The presenter uses terms for the unconscious such as Creative Mind\, the Dream Mind\, and the Poetic Mind. Therapists should consider the space between the minds as a fertile experiential field where more access to elements of the mind is available. This presentation will include a demonstration and a brief practice session.This “mindfield” is but one of the fields a therapist must attend to in their clinical work. A therapist must be ready to work with all the fields of the client\, cultural and societal fields\, the interpersonal field\, and the multiple fields within the therapist. This presentation offers conceptual and practical approaches for helping a client move into the space between the conscious and unconscious fields using a combination of conversational inquiry\, direct suggestion\, imagery\, naturalistic induction\, and indirect suggestion. It is useful to think of the therapist in the role of musical conductor who prompts the client to use and “play with” certain resources\, as well as helping the client experiment in a more independent manner with their internal resources. \nLearning Objectives:\n1. Explain the definition of experiential field as used by the presenter.\n2. Describe two methods for inviting a client to leave the safety of the conscious field to explore their field of dreams including nightmares.\n3. Describe two direct approaches to promote solution-focused processing.\n4. Describe how to use the conscious/unconscious experiential field with two current clients.

SUMMARY:LIVE WEBINAR on Using Hypnosis to Enhance Performance and Creativity  (New England Society of Clinical Hypnosis)
DESCRIPTION:Organization: New England Society of Clinical Hypnosis \nWebsite: https://www.nesch.org/event-5765718 \nEvent Title: LIVE WEBINAR on Using Hypnosis to Enhance Performance and Creativity \nDates: 1/12/2025 \nLocation: Virtual \nCE: 3.0 \nContact: neschmsc@gmail.com \nAbstract:\nHardly a day goes by without a renowned public figure coming forward in the news and social media to reveal the impact of mental health on their performance and creativity. Stories and research abound on how mental health concerns have contributed to performance setbacks in the lives of elite athletes (U.S. Olympic Committee\, 2019)\, performing artists ((Rusak\, et al.\, 2021)\, students (Agnafors\, et al.\, 2020) and employees in the workplace (Center for Disease Control\, 2018). As society moves towards destigmatizing mental health challenges\, the opportunity for clinicians who can use hypnosis (vs. psychopharmacological approaches) to help enhance performance\, creativity and mental health is growing. Led by Dr. Dana Lebo\, a seasoned psychologist specializing in performance psychology and executive coaching\, this workshop draws on over two decades of her experience in guiding individuals towards their peak potential. It will provide for participants the opportunity to experience hypnotically informed strategies to enhance performance and creativity in their clients\, whether in sports\, on stage\, in the arts or at work. Participants will experience the integration of organizational\, coaching\, sports and mind-body psychologies with hypnosis to help improve performance and creativity. They will learn performance enhancement processes that they can readily apply in their lives and work. \nLearning Objectives: \n1.

SUMMARY:Techniques That Work: Favorites from My 40 Years of Practice (Medical Hypnosis Consultants\, PLLC)
DESCRIPTION:Organization: Medical Hypnosis Consultants\, PLLC \nWebsite: MedicalHypnosisConsultants.org \nEvent Title: Techniques That Work: Favorites from My 40 Years of Practice \nDates: 1/17/25-1/28/2025 \nLocation: Virtual \nCE: 10 \nContact: hollyforestermiller@gmail.com \nAbstract:\nThis ten hour workshop is designed to teach participants some of my favorite hypnotic techniques that I have either created or adapted over the past forty years. They are my favorites because they typically work very well at helping clients to shift ideas and make rapid changes in thoughts\, behaviors and/or comfort. This is a hands–on workshop and will be interactive\, including live demonstrations and practice groups. Participants will learn how to use a “Split Screen” technique for performance enhancement and eliminating old behavior habits. “The Old Fashioned Switchboard” is a wonderful tool I developed for helping individuals to let go of less than helpful self-talk. Participants will learn to use my “Past and Future” technique to help clients look at how things occurred in the past as a start to shifting the way they occur in the future. My “Spine Realignment” protocol is a wonderful tool for helping to relieve neck and spine tension\, alleviating compression and releasing pressure on nerves and ruptured discs to allow clients to move more comfortably and learn how to better relax their body. With “Symbolic Representation” participants will learn a method for assisting clients in shifting and/or clearing problematic issues without having to discuss the origins of the problem. With a demonstration of my “Cleaning out the Attic” participants will experience a metaphor for letting go of useless internalized ideas and negative concepts of self. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nUtilize the “Split Screen” hypnotic technique for performance enhancement.\nUse the “Old Fashioned Switchboard” to help clients let go of less than helpful self-talk.\nApply the “Past & Future” technique to assist clients in making change.\nDemonstrate how to use “Symbolic Representation” with clients.\nDuplicate the “Spine Realignment” protocol.\nModify the ” Cleaning Out the Attic” metaphor depending on a client
