Description
Description:
Hypnosis can be described as the original positive psychology. After all, anyone who studies hypnosis learns that people have a wealth of positive personal resources that can be amplified and employed in the service of living well. In this keynote address, I will explore what it means to be deeply absorbed in optimism, hopefulness, and mindfulness, and how hypnosis can inform good decision-making, catalyze the acquisition of important life skills, and help people become values contribu- tors to others’ lives as well as their own.
Educational Objectives:
- To describe three ways principles and methods of hypnosis underlie key aspects of positive psychology.
- To provide three concrete examples of how positive psychology integrated with hypnosis can enhance the principles and methods of each.
