Description

Description:

Using hypnosis to help anxious people relax and feel calm is a great start, but hypnosis offers other valuable opportunities to disrupt the patterns of anxiety, create a different relationship to thoughts and physical symptoms , and to shift the client from avoidance into action.

Educational Objectives:

  1. Identify the use of hypnotic language and suggestion to amplify resources in anxious clients.
  2. Explain the value of seeding homework assignments during hypnotic interventions.
  3. Describe the value and limitations of relaxation as a strategy with anxious clients.
