After two years in the University States Army Medical Service Corps he returned to the University of Minnesota and worked in the Student Counseling Service and the Dept. of Psychology, developing, validating and publishing strategies for attention, self-control, and efficient learning. In 1980 he began training in hypnosis, and is currently a leader in the use of alert eyes open and active hypnosis.
Dr. Wark is a Fellow of the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis, and of the Society of Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis. He is a Diplomate and Past Secretary of the American Board of Psychological Hypnosis. He served as the President of the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis during 2008-09.
He is an Emeritus Professor of Psychology, and currently travels and teaches hypnosis to professionals in American, Europe and Asia, while maintaining an active practice in clinical hypnosis in St. Paul, MN.
This workshop covers the background and several developing applications of alert hypnosis. Alert hypnosis is an alternative for the eyes closed or drowsy, cataleptic, quasi-amnesic client that clinicians often in their offices. People in alert hypnosis are physically active, move and talk normally, feel in control, and may be hyper-aware and oriented. Nevertheless, all the usual hypnosis phenomena are available: suggested changes in perception, behavior and emotion, altered consciousness, time distortion, imagery, hypermnesia, etc. A person who has learned alert self-hypnosis can bring all that control to make changes in physiological response, school and professional learning and recall, athletic an artistic performance, job skills, or interpersonal empathy and relations. Thus, they can more effectively generalize hypnotic suggestions from the clinic to applications in the outside world.
Joyce Fern Glasser, Ph.D., is a licensed Mental Health Counselor who specializes in a powerful form of hypnotic psychotherapy to facilitate Core Healing. With a lengthy background as therapist, educator, administrator, and author, she has developed and written about an innovative approach to healing. Last Spring she taught a program for FSCH called AStep Ahead Program to excellent reviews, and is bringing her larger program to us this year as an additional Intermediate/Advanced workshop.
Core Healing is an amalgam of techniques that can produce profound positive effects in a matter of hours, over the course of a month or two of work. It is a skill that depends on hypnoanalytic understandings, since seeking a client's truth about why they have the problems they do is essential to resolution of those problems. Our expertise and intuition based on experience as psychotherapists is not
enough. Partnering with clients to seek their subconsciously held truths potentiates and speeds positive results. Core Healing calls for the use of a variety of therapeutic modalities besides Cognitive Therapy, and allows for the individual knowledge and styles of the therapist to be integrated into the therapy. In this workshop all the phases of Core Healing with be taught and demonstrated, and relevant materials will be provided so that participants can quickly use this modality in their own practices.
During this program, Dr. Glasser hopes to demonstrate with a participant who has experienced moderate depression of at least a year in duration. She would continue work with such a participant to completion after the workshop, at no charge, and would welcome a call, at 352-205-0836, from anyone who wishes to volunteer for such work.
