SUMMARY:Neurophysiology of Hypnosis (CHSNJ)
DESCRIPTION:Organization: Clinical Hypnosis Society of New Jersey (CHSNJ) \nWebsite: https://www.clinicalhypnosisnj.org/event-6444924   \nEvent Title: Neurophysiology of Hypnosis  \nAgenda:  _March_Timed_Agenda \nDate: 03/14/2026  \nLocation: Virtual  \nCE: 2  \nContact : ginnydinsmore@gmail.com\, Virginia Dinsmore (CHSNJ Secretary)   \nAbstract: Hypnosis is increasingly recognized as a powerful adjunct in clinical practice\, particularly in pain management\, oncology\, and anxiety disorders. Yet\, its underlying neural mechanisms have only recently begun to be elucidated through neuroimaging and electrophysiological studies. This presentation will summarize current evidence on how hypnosis modulates brain activity and connectivity across key networks involved in consciousness\, attention\, and pain processing. Findings show that hypnosis alters the balance between internal and external awareness networks\, disrupts activity within the Default Mode Network\, and engages regions such as the anterior cingulate and insular cortices that mediate emotional and sensory components of pain. Differences between highly and low hypnotizable individuals further highlight distinct attentional and inhibitory mechanisms that may influence clinical responsiveness. We will also review neurophysiological data supporting the use of hypnosis in acute and chronic pain\, oncology care\, phobias\, and functional neurological disorders. Finally\, emerging approaches combining hypnosis with virtual reality will be discussed as promising tools to enhance patient comfort and engagement in clinical settings. By linking neurophysiological mechanisms to clinical outcomes\, this talk aims to help clinicians better understand how hypnosis can be integrated into everyday care to optimize therapeutic efficacy and patient well-being.  \nLearning Objectives:   \n\nDescribe the key brain regions and neural networks involved in the hypnotic state\, as revealed by functional neuroimaging studies (fMRI\, EEG\, PET).  \n\n\nExplain how neuroimaging evidence links specific neurophysiological changes during hypnosis to its clinical benefits.  \n\n\nEvaluate the strengths and limitations of current neuroimaging approaches in distinguishing hypnotic responsiveness from other states of consciousness. \n\n Speaker info:  \nDr. Audrey Vanhaudenhuyse  _March_Clinical_Conversation_BIO_Vanhaudenhuyse__ \nDr. Mathieu Landry _March_Clinical_Conversation_BIOS_Landry \n

Alexander\, PhD\nExplorations in Trauma Treatment Through Ericksonian Hypnosis\, Mindfulness\, and Core Creativity\nThursday\, March 19\, 2026 | 3:30 PM – 6:30 PM ET | Member Price $125.00 | 3.0 CE \nRegister Here – Explorations in Trauma Treatment Through Ericksonian Hypnosis\, Mindfulness\, and Core Creativity \nThe work of Milton Erickson brought new insights and methodologies to the field of hypnosis and mind-body healing. Erickson’s therapeutic use of rapid and deep induction that integrated storytelling\, metaphors\, and deep trance to engage the patient’s unconscious mind towards healing was a pioneering contribution to this new paradigm of thought. Therefore\, within this new view\, affective experience has taken on an entirely new meaning\, one in which symptoms are now seen as the body’s wisdom pathways for creating communication between the unconscious and the self for promoting healing. \nFor 2500 years\, Buddhist meditation practices have developed what is referred to as “skillful methods” for the study and transformation of the mind-body process. These meditation and visualization practices help to cultivate self-regulation through awareness training to develop concentration\, release painful affects\, and apply the principles of Buddhist psychology to resolve afflictive factors of mind-body trauma. \nThis workshop will address solutions for treating trauma by utilizing Ericksonian Hypnosis\, Buddhist Mindfulness\, and Core Creativity. We will review the clinical skills of tracking\, pacing\, and utilization of the symptom as the pathway for accessing the creative unconscious with trance for the rapid treatment of trauma. The workshop will highlight Milton Erickson’s use of storytelling\, metaphor\, and rapid trance induction as well as the use of framing\, re-framing\, and de-framing for the immediate reorganization of transforming somatic-affective experience into new healing rhythms in the body. Through trance exercises\, participants will learn how to access their core creativity to help their clients visualize a path forward into the future after experiencing trauma. \nAt the conclusion of this program\, participants will be able to: \n\nDemonstrate more creative and resourceful skills when treating body symptoms\, trauma\, pain\, mood\, and somatic disorders.\nUtilize the symptom to access the unconscious and its healing inner resources with deep trance\, visualization\, and mindfulness meditation.\nApply experiential exercises to help clients integrate their body-mind and access their core creativity\, enabling them to move forward into the future after experiencing trauma.\nUtilize new clinical skills for tracking\, pacing\, and reframing trauma into new learnings for healing and resolution\n\nPresenter: Ronald A.
