SUMMARY:Reclaiming the Self from Trauma-time to Present Safety: A Hypnotic Ego State Approach for Complex Trauma and Dissociation (OSCH)
DESCRIPTION:Organization: Oregon Society of Clinical Hypnosis  \nWebsite: https://oregonhypnosis.org/event-6723430  \nEvent Title: Reclaiming the Self from Trauma-time to Present Safety: A Hypnotic Ego State Approach for Complex Trauma and Dissociation  \nAgenda:  Bensching_Reclaiming_Self_Timed_Agenda_Bensching \nDates: 09/26/2027-09/27/2026  \nLocation: Hybrid  \nCE: 12  \nContact : Info@oregonhypnosis.org   \nDescription: This two-day training presents a clinical model integrating ego state therapy with the Theory of Structural Dissociation\, polyvagal-informed pacing\, and a range of hypnotic methods — both Ericksonian-influenced and traditional — applied to the treatment of complex PTSD\, dissociative disorders\, dual diagnosis\, and atypical trauma presentations. This training fills a gap in the current trauma training landscape\, as EMDR and IFS are promoted more often in trauma training.  EMDR has absorbed many hypnotic concepts\, and IFS has drawn on many Ego State Therapy concepts in a simplified parts work approach\, resulting in fewer trainings positioning hypnosis itself as the primary modality for complex trauma and dissociation.  \nParticipants will learn to use hypnosis as a flexible\, central treatment approach. Hypnosis is woven throughout every phase of care—stabilization\, internal organization of fragmentation\, trauma reprocessing\, and insight-oriented exploratory work—applied both conversationally and formally rather than reserved as an adjunctive or stand-alone intervention. Through this framework\, hypnosis is presented not simply as a technique\, but as an organizing clinical methodology for working with trauma\, dissociation\, and fragmentation with greater precision\, adaptability\, and depth.  \nLearning Objectives:  Bensching 6.26.26_LOs_Sept 2026 Workshop \nSpeaker info: Debbie Bensching\, LCSW\, LICSW\, ACSW\, MSWAC BIO
