SUMMARY:Rescripting Trauma Memories with Memory Reconsolidation: Protocols for Updating Implicit Beliefs and Patterns (Clinical Hypnosis Society of New Jersey)
DESCRIPTION:Organization: Clinical Hypnosis Society of New Jersey \nWebsite: https://www.clinicalhypnosisnj.org/event-6001181 \nAgenda: https://asch.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Timed_agenda.docx \nEvent Title: Rescripting Trauma Memories with Memory Reconsolidation: Protocols for Updating Implicit Beliefs and Patterns \nDates: 05/17/2025 \nLocation: Virtual \nCE: 6.0 \nContact: chsnj1986@gmail.com \nAbstract:\nReprocessing traumatic memories can be a tough task\, due to the stubborn persistence of painful emotions\, thoughts\, and patterns woven into the memory at both conscious and subconscious levels. Fortunately\, neuroscience has revealed how clinicians can more effectively help their clients reprocess traumatic memories by harnessing the mechanisms of memory consolidation. Memory reconsolidation refers to the brain’s inherent ability to update a memory network with new information when the person encounters a new experience that is emotionally significant enough for the brain to change the memory’s meaning\, context\, and associations. In this webinar\, we will explore the phenomenon of memory reconsolidation and how clinical hypnosis can be used as an adjunct to treatment to facilitate it. Participants will learn why hypnosis can be an effective tool for eliciting memory reconsolidation and get several tools they can use to help clients rescript trauma narratives\, repair attachment wounds\, and foster a positive post-trauma identity \nLearning Objectives: \nAt the end of this workshop\, participants will be better able to: \n\nEvaluate recent neuroscience discoveries regarding memory reconsolidation and their clinical implications for treating trauma.\nDescribe the steps of the RECON protocol\, an imaginal rescripting technique to help clients reduce distress related to memories of traumatic events.\nDescribe how to integrate cognitive reframing techniques with hypnosis to rescript the client’s trauma narrative and beliefs associated with the traumatic event.\nIdentify at least two ways to help clients avoid re-traumatization while reviewing traumatic memories.\nDiscuss at least two strengths and two limitations of the research on memory reconsolidation and clinical hypnosis in trauma treatment

SUMMARY:Hypnotic Strategies for Evoking the Therapeutic Relationship (Clinical Hypnosis Society of New Jersey)
DESCRIPTION:Organization: Clinical Hypnosis Society of New Jersey \nAgenda: https://asch.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Spiegel_CHSNJ_timed_agenda.docx \nWebsite: https://www.clinicalhypnosisnj.org/event-6006566 \nEvent Title: Hypnotic Strategies for Evoking the Therapeutic Relationship \nDates: 06/08/2025 \nLocation: Virtual \nCE: 6.0 \nContact:  chsnj1986@gmail.com \nAbstract:\nIn 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. We will provide applications of hypnosis & the therapeutic relationship in treatment\, along with demonstrations. \nLearning Objectives: \n\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 for evoking the therapeutic alliance.

These experiences are often called “mystical experiences” or “peak spiritual experiences” and typically contain a sense of positive mood\, unity\, transcendence of time/space\, and ineffability. During this workshop presentation\, participants will receive a general overview of mystical experiences\, review a newly proposed theoretical framework for the clinical use of mystical experiences\, and learn about past research on the use of hypnosis to induce mystical experiences. Participants will be invited to participate in a hypnotic procedure designed to facilitate a mystical experience. Results from a recent study aimed at establishing the feasibility of a hypnosis intervention for a mystical experience will be discussed. Participants will also engage in experiential portions where they will design and deliver suggestions for a mystical experience. \nAt the conclusion of the event\, learners will be able to: \n\nDescribe what mystical experiences typically entail and what past/recent research says about facilitating these experiences with hypnosis only.\nConstruct a theoretical rationale for the use of mystical experiences within therapeutic interventions.\nDemonstrate the ability to design and deliver suggestions to integrate mystical elements into psychotherapy\n\nRegister Here \nSpeaker Information \n \nCameron Alldredge\, PhD \nDr. Cameron Alldredge is a licensed psychologist and associate research scientist in the Mind- Body Medicine Research Laboratory at Baylor University.

SUMMARY:Gut Feelings Part II: Clinical Hypnosis for Comprehensive Treatment of Disorders of Brain-Gut Interaction.
DESCRIPTION:Organization: ASCH \nWebsite: asch.net \nEvent Title: Gut Feelings Part II: Clinical Hypnosis for Comprehensive Treatment of Disorders of Brain-‎Gut Interaction \nAgenda: 8pm-10pm EST \nDates: June 25th\, 2025 \nLocation: Virtual \nCE: 2.0 \nContact: info@asch.net \nPrice: non-members: $65 \nMember: $55 \nRegistration Link: https://portal.asch.net/integratedEvents/home/GUT-FEELINGS-PART-II-CLINICAL-HYPNOSIS-FOR-COMPREHENSIVE-TREATMENT-OF-DISORDERS-OF-BRAIN-GUT-INTERACTION \n  \nAbstract: Clinical hypnosis has reliably been found to produce both short- and long-term treatment ‎benefits for functional gastrointestinal disorders (i.e.\, functional dyspepsia\, functional ‎abdominal pain\, and irritable bowel syndrome). Moreover\, as various physiological and ‎autonomic nervous system variables have been found to contribute to these gastrointestinal ‎disorders\, they have more appropriately been labeled Disorders of Brain-Gut Interaction ‎‎(DBGI). However\, the exact mechanisms of action that result in such hypnotic intervention ‎benefits have remained elusive. ‎\nThis webinar will review the empirical evidence supporting the effectiveness of various gut-‎directed clinical hypnosis strategies\, address possible mechanisms of action\, and outline ‎these techniques for participant use. Research will be reviewed on a polyvagal-based ‎hypnotic intervention effective with brain-gut interaction disorders. Moreover\, the polyvagal ‎model and this technique are also relevant to treating trauma\, fibromyalgia\, inflammatory\, ‎and other pain disorders. ‎\nAs the incidence of trauma and childhood adverse experiences is common in DGBI and ‎persistent pain\, identification of specific life events contributing to somatic distress and the ‎application of memory reconsolidation update techniques will be reviewed to more ‎comprehensively resolve Disorders of Gut-Brain Interaction.‎\n \n  \nLearning Objectives:  \nAt the completion of this webinar\, participants will be able to:‎\n‎1)‎ List the relevant diagnostic criteria for two brain-gut interaction disorders.‎\n‎2)‎ Cite three references providing empirical support for using clinical hypnosis to treat ‎functional gastrointestinal disorders.‎\n‎3)‎ List four hypnotic suggestions that have empirical support for reducing IBS symptoms.‎\n‎4)‎ Explain the relationship of the polyvagal theory to brain-gut interaction disorders ‎and outline a relevant hypnotic intervention found to be effective in reducing DGBI ‎symptoms.‎\n‎5)‎ Apply the cognitive bridge technique to identify contributing remote experiences.‎\n‎6)‎ Apply two memory reconsolidation update strategies for relevant trauma ‎experiences.‎

SUMMARY:Using Language & Metaphor to Clarify Core Purpose and Meaning  (Clinical Hypnosis Society of New Jersey)
DESCRIPTION:Organization: Clinical Hypnosis Society of New Jersey  \nWebsite: https://clinicalhypnosisnj.org/event-6193649  \nEvent Title: Advanced Workshop: Using Language & Metaphor to Clarify Core Purpose and Meaning   \nAgenda: timed_agenda  \nDates: July 12\, 2025\, 11AM – 1PM EST   \nLocation: Virtual  \nCE: 2  \nContact: Robert Staffin drstaffin@gmail.com   \nAbstract: Language and metaphor play an important role in clinical hypnosis and especially in the work of Milton H. Erickson\, his students\, and those following. Through a mixture of humor\, storytelling\, and demonstrations\, Rob Voyle will teach us/remind us about the science and art of asking powerful questions. These questions have the power to open us up to our connection to the source of our life (whatever/whomever that is for you and your clients/patients).  Rob will share how to utilize metaphor to help people discover their core purpose and understand the violation of a client’s core purpose as a source of distress. When we clarify our core purpose\, it becomes a touchstone and provides a sense of meaning for us and all those with whom we live\, work\, and love.  \nLearning Objectives: As a result of attending this presentation participants will be able to: 1. Describe the differences between empowering and disempowering questions and know how to craft them. 2. Note and use a client’s metaphoric language to deepen awareness and empathy with the client. 3. Evoke and use a client’s simple metaphors to quickly determine a client’s core purpose and state of resourcefulness. 4. Use a client’s core purpose to articulate their stress and existential distress\, and to be able to restore a state of resourcefulness.

SUMMARY:Hypnotic Applications Across Phase Oriented Treatment for Trauma & Dissociative Disorders (ISSTD)
DESCRIPTION:Organization: International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation (ISSTD) \n\n\nWebsite: https://www.isst-d.org/training-and-conferences/conferences-and-seminars/regional-conferences/2025-chicago-regional-conference/  \n\n\nEvent Title: Hypnotic Applications Across Phase Oriented Treatment for Trauma & Dissociative Disorders \n\n\nDates: 07/18/2025 \n\n\nLocation: In-person \n\n\nCE: 6 \n\n\nContact: Wendy Willberg-Lemke\, wendylemkelp@gmail.com \n\n\nAbstract: In this session\, participants will enhance confidence in integrating hypnosis into trauma treatment\, focusing on dissociative identity disorder. The session covers hypnotic techniques across trauma treatment phases\, emphasizing language that acknowledges multiplicity. Applications include fostering safety\, exploring unconscious parts\, developmental repair\, and promoting integration. Metaphors and hypno-projectives are also reviewed. Prior hypnosis training is expected\, as trance elicitation isn’t covered. Techniques may be effective without formal hypnosis\, given dissociative states often involve self-induced trance. The session also addresses undoing unhelpful self-suggestions from past experiences. \n\n\nLearning Objectives: \n\n\n\n\nExplain the importance of phase-oriented treatment and Lemke’s 4-C approach in the treatment of Dissociative Disorders. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nExplain and incorporate Lemke’s P-principles for ‘safely’ navigating the unique needs of each client and all their parts throughout trauma treatment. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nEmploy hypnotic language and strategies that emphasize safety throughout the phases of trauma treatment. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nDemonstrate at least three hypnotic applications for exploring the unconscious and/or unconscious parts of self. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nDemonstrate the effectiveness and provide examples of at least two metaphors useful when working with dissociative disorders.

SUMMARY:Hypnosis for Trauma I: Comprehensive Stabilization (Integrative Health Psycology\, PA)
DESCRIPTION:Organization: Integrative Health Psychology\, PA  \nWebsite: www.LouisDamisPhD.com  \nEvent Title: Hypnosis for Trauma I: Comprehensive Stabilization\, Advanced Workshop  \nAgenda:  Agenda_Hypnosis_for_Trauma_I_Damis \nDates: 08/31/2025  \nLocation: Virtual  \nCE: 5  \nContact: Louis Damis\, Ph.D DrDamis@LouisDamisPhD.com  \nAbstract:  \nThis workshop focuses on the use of stabilization\, the initial phase of the Phase-Oriented Treatment of Trauma (Brown & Fromm\, 1986). 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.

SUMMARY:ASCH Webinar: Alternatives to Opioids: Self-Management and Hypnotic Pain Modulation Strategies
DESCRIPTION:Register Here!\nASCH Webinar\n Alternatives to Opioids: Self-Management and Hypnotic Pain Modulation Strategies \nInformation\nDate: 09/10/2025 \nLocation: Virtual \nTime: 7-9 pm ET / 6-8pm CT \nContinuing Education (CE) Hours: 2* \n*To receive credit for this webinar\, you will be required to take a pre-test\, post-test and an end of event survey. All items will be shared with you via email.  \nDescription: The incidence of opioid dependence and opioid use disorder in chronic non-cancer pain patients has been recently estimated to range from one in ten to one in three (Thomas et al\, 2023). With the increased availability of synthetic opioids like fentanyl and the current opioid crisis\, the need for moving patients to lower dosage levels and non-opioid alternatives is paramount.  This workshop will address non-hypnotic and hypnotic approaches to self-management of pain with an initial focus on motivational interviewing to optimize patient readiness and investment in change. Once patients are engaged in the change process\, a range of pain self-management strategies will be reviewed\, along with methods for generalizing and maintaining pain management skills. The workshop will also focus on instruction of multiple hypnotic techniques to be systematically applied to facilitate patient mastery and empowerment over chronic pain. This workshop is suitable for medical and mental health providers with or without experience in pain management.  \nLearning Objectives \nAt the conclusion of this session\, participants will be able to:  \n\nIdentify three motivational interviewing strategies and ways to incorporate MI into hypnotic approaches.  \nDescribe a four-stage treatment approach for stable pain modulation. \nList and apply four hypnotic and non-hypnotic pain modulation strategies. \nDiscuss the importance of desensitization and maintenance strategies for stable pain control.  \n\n\nSpeaker\nThis webinar will be presented by Louis Damis\,  PhD\, ABPP\, FASCH. Dr. Damis is a Diplomate with the American Board of Professional Psychology\, a Fellow of the American Academy of Clinical Health Psychology\, the Biofeedback Certification International Alliance\, and the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis.

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. \nAgenda and Learning Objectives: \nFriday\, September 12th  \n1. ASCH Membership & Certification Process —15 minutes\nAt the conclusion of this module the participant will be able to:\n● Discuss ASCH’s clinical hypnosis standards of training\, levels of training\, and requirements for\, ASCH certification; and\n● Describe the opportunities available for further training\, membership and certification. \n2.

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

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.
