Description: This workshop offers a grounded, compassionate look at using hypnosis and guided imagery with people facing serious medical diagnoses. Participants learn how language, expectation, imagery, and relational presence can support emotional resilience, coping, and a sense of agency alongside medical treatment. Through teaching, clinical stories, and live demonstration, the session shows how mind–body approaches can help clients work with fear, uncertainty, pain, and unfinished business without promising cure or denying medical reality.
