This introduction will include core concepts, differing views of hypnosis, differing applications, core elements of hypnotic processes, and address some of the research and directions the field is moving in. The presenter will also do group hypnosis, and exercises in getting used to hypnotic language and facilitating hypnotic phenomena.
This workshop integrates the lessons of Ericksonian and Solution Oriented approaches with the newer models of trauma that focus on the dysregulation of affect as central features of both PTSD and dissociative disorders. Attendees will learn specific skills that allow clinicians to work with abuse and trauma survivors that rapidly facilitate the containment and transmutation of negative affect, increased coping skills, and alleviation of flashbacks.
Cloé Madanes will present a theoretical framework and tools that therapists can use to understand what relationships need to change in order to solve the problem presented to therapy. Madanes will present 20 of her favorite strategies illustrated with case examples and with experiential exercises.
We will review the little-known history of the MHE/Ravitz/Rossi research, which developed the first quantum electrodynamic field theory of therapeutic hypnosis from 1950 to 2016. We will use the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) perspective to plan, promote & publish research on MHE’s naturalistic hypnosis, consciousness, cognition & therapeutic states in Open Access High Impact Scientific Journals. Everyone is welcome to this first organizational meeting.
This "playshop" will consist of experiential clinician development exercises. While it is widely agreed that the person of the therapist is central to patient change, there are limited methods for developing ways to BE a therapist. This program centers on eliciting and developing therapist acuity. Dr. Zeig will present a systemic modeling method that can be easily transferred to make therapy and supervision more powerfully experiential.

Therapy has typically focused on explaining why people have their problems and why they sometimes make the poor choices they make. This workshop focuses on HOW, not why, people unintentionally make choices that negatively impact their emotional well-being and quality of life. We will identify obstacles to making the key discriminations that can give rise to better decision making, especially global cognitive style and a past orientation. We will explore the role hypnosis can play in encouraging the development of effective discrimination strategies that can lead clients to choose “this,” not “that.”
