Clinical Hypnosis is an empirically-supported therapeutic tool to help people access inner resources to heal and grow. Hypnosis is not a type of therapy, but a procedure that can be used to facilitate therapy. It has been used in the treatment of pain, depression, anxiety, stress, habit control, posttraumatic stress disorder and many other psychological and medical problems. Hypnosis should be used as an adjunct to treatment with a qualified health-care professional who is trained in the use and limitations of clinical hypnosis.
This workshop will cover a very brief history of hypnotherapy, address some of the myths of hypnosis, and how it is integrated into clinical practice.
There will be a brief experiential component to demonstrate the differences between hypnotherapy and meditation. Cameras may be turned off during the experiential component per your comfort.
