ForwardASCH Approved Level I (Fundamental) Training in Clinical Hypnosis (2024)
Arlington, VA US
April 26, 2024 to April 28, 2024
ISSTD-Sponsored ASCH Approved Level I Training in Clinical Hypnosis
This ASCH-approved Level 1 training in clinical hypnosis will provide trainees with a beginning understanding of the concepts, principles and clinical applications of hypnosis. Experienced, ASCH-certified and ASCH- approved consultant faculty will offer didactic presentations, demonstrations, experiential exercises, and faculty-led small group practices of no more than 6 participants to facilitate a fundamental understanding and experience of clinical hypnosis and its integration into clinical practice.
At the completion of the training, trainees will have been taught the knowledge and skills to begin the integration of clinical hypnosis strategies into their clinical practices. Specifically, trainees will be able to identify and demonstrate at least three ways to facilitate hypnotic trance and to competently re-orient a patient from a trance state, demonstrate at least three strategies for facilitating intensification of trance, and describe at least four clinical conditions in which hypnotic strategies can be successfully utilized. Trainees will have been introduced to clinical hypnosis as a neurophysiological phenomenon, a mental state of absorption implicated in neuroplasticity and change, as well as a creative clinical skill set of relationship development in the service of collaboratively facilitating mental and physical health. This training is especially geared towards therapists treating traumatized and dissociative persons.
What is special about this training?
The ISSTD sponsored training in clinical hypnosis is a trauma and dissociative disorders informed training in clinical hypnosis. Not only is the content geared towards clinicians treating people with trauma and dissociation, but so is the process of teaching and inviting participation in hypnotic experiences.
The number of participants in the Small Group Practices is capped at 6 participants to allow for group cohesion and collaborative learning in a predictable enough environment.
The faculty and facilitators are experienced clinicians and trainers in Clinical Hypnosis, and long-standing members of the Clinical Hypnosis community.
