In this workshop\, we address two key clinical areas – pain and trauma – and discuss how relational and experiential facets of treatment can be incorporated with sophistication. The workshop leader will teach an attachment-focused relational method and help participants learn how they can evoke hypnosis as part of this approach. In addition to becoming more grounded in the principles of such an approach\, participants will learn specific skills of how to utilize relational hypnosis in the treatment of attachment trauma\, chronic pain\, and functional disorders. Although this is an advanced workshop\, participants of all experience levels are welcome. For example\, you might be experienced with hypnosis but want to learn more about working with pain & trauma. Alternatively\, you might be a skilled practitioner in one or both of those treatment areas\, but want to learn more about hypnosis and how it could be integrated into the treatment you provide.  \nLearning Objectives: Day One: Attachment-Focused Hypnosis & Developmental Repair of Trauma \nUpon completion of this session\, participants will be able to…  \n\nDefine mentalization and explain how it develops during a healthy attachment process. \n\n\nDifferentiate between contingent and marked mirroring \n\n\nIntegrate polyvagal and neurological phenomena into a conceptual framework for how trauma disrupts development. \n\n\nConceptualize the use of hypnosis to treat trauma from a relational model \n\n\nSummarize how hypnosis can be incorporated into trauma treatment by theoretical orientation & by phase of treatment \n\n\nFormulate and deliver 2 hypnotic suggestions for enhancing attunement in the hypnotherapeutic relationship \n\n\nFormulate and deliver 2 hypnotic suggestions for developing mental representation of a secure attachment figure or ego state \n\n\nFormulate and deliver 2 hypnotic suggetions for increasing self & object constancy across divergent experiential\, mental\, and ego states \n\n\nOffer an indirect and direct hypnotic suggestion for the purpose of developing mentalization. \n\n\nFormulate and deliver 2 hypnotic suggestions for increasing the capacity for reflective awareness about mental states in developmentally arrested patients \n\n  \nDay Two: Relational Hypnosis for Chronic Pain and Functional Disorders \nUpon completion of this session\, participants will be able to…  \n\nUtilize principles of attachment & relationship to create a hypnotic scene for the purpose of modulating pain \n\n\nList 5 questions from a relational assessment of chronic pain Explain how to integrate principles of relational alliance-building & active-alert hypnosis in the treatment of chronic pain. \n\n\nExplain how to directly or indirectly utilize the therapeutic alliance in creating a hypnotic suggestion of safety in the treatment of a functional disorder. \n\n\nDifferentiate hypnotic treatment of complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) from traditional chronic pain. \n\n\nList one relational hypnotic suggestion each in the treatment of a functional gastrointestinal disorder (FGID) & functional neurological disorder (FND) (respectively). \n\n

SUMMARY:Treating Dissociative Identity Disorder from an Ego State Therapy Approach (Lemke Counseling & Consulting )
DESCRIPTION:Organization: Lemke Counseling & Consulting \n\n\nWebsite: https://www.wendylemke-psy.com/didandest  \n\n\nEvent Title: Treating Dissociative Identity Disorder from an Ego State Therapy Approach \n\n\nDates: 10/23/2025 \n\n\nLocation: Virtual \n\n\nCE: 6.5 \n\n\nContact: Wendy Lemke\, wendylemkelp@gmail.com  \n\n\nAbstract: This full-day course assumes you have basic knowledge about D.I.D.  It will provide a brief review of important characteristics to note and updates in the field along with a review of why EST is such a suitable approach for this complex population. 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.
