Clinical Hypnosis for Attachment Repair — Louis Damis, PhD
This workshop focuses on the use of the Ideal Parent Figure protocol (Brown & Elliot, 2016) for attachment repair. The characteristics of the secure and three insecure attachment styles will be outlined, along with the caregiver behaviors that fostered them.
Ericksonian Choice Architecture: Crafting Strategic Communication for Hypnotic Practice — Dan Short, PhD
This plenary introduces Ericksonian Choice Architecture (ECA), a framework that extends Milton H. Erickson’s legacy by framing hypnotic communication as the strategic design of preconscious choice. Participants will learn how ECA differs from traditional directive approaches by emphasizing autonomy, context sensitivity, and indirect influence (“nudges”).
Integrating Pain Reprocessing Therapy Principles with Clinical Hypnosis for Chronic Pain — Michael Spertus, MD
Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) is rapidly gaining recognition as a leading, evidence-based approach in pain psychology and chronic pain management, supported by emerging clinical research and real-world success. Clinical hypnosis has long been used to treat chronic pain with favorable, although sometimes variable results. This presentation aims to integrate PRT principles with clinical hypnosis to enhance both efficacy and scope.
Artificial Intelligence and Its Growing Utility in Medicine — Matthew Wong, MD
Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly visible in medicine, yet its real-world clinical value is often misunderstood. This session provides a clear, non-technical overview of AI in medicine, explaining key concepts such as machine learning, deep learning, and large language models using clinically relevant examples.
The Rhythmic Architecture of Hypnotic Communication — Anita Jung, LPC-S, LPA
Exploring the rhythmic architecture of hypnotic language reveals how precise cadence deepens regulation, strengthens resilience, and heightens the impact of therapeutic suggestions. Through immersive practice, attendees learn to design and deliver structured repetition patterns—including the “Hypnotic Tihai,” engineered to make suggestions more memorable and neurologically resonant.
Hypnosis in Dealing with Grief, Death, and Spirituality — Ran Anbar, MD, FAAP
In this presentation, Dr. Anbar will discuss his experiences over his career as a physician and counselor that taught him about how to deal with grief and death, as well as helped him develop a better understanding of spirituality. As he has been extensively using hypnosis in his practice over the past 28 years, many of his insights arose as a result of using hypnosis with his patients as well as self-hypnosis. The presentation also will review hypnotic techniques that can be used to help patients cope better with grief and end-of-life spiritual challenges.
