Hypnotic Recipes for Troubled Lives
A Humanistic Utilization Model for Treatment Planning with Clinical Hypnosis
There are two critical elements involved in creating effective hypnotic interventions:
- the comfort level of the clinician with hypnotic language and technique, and
- the accuracy with which clinicians diagnose subjects in hypnotic terms.
The rapport and empathic influence necessary for achieving these successfully are gained by understanding how unconscious processes are manifested in behavior, emotions and symptom patterns.
This workshop will review the nature of trance, elements of "empathic" hypnotic language, and the unconscious processes that influence human behavior. These will be followed by a model for non-traditional, humanistic hypnotic assessment of syptoms, and corresponding suggestions for treatment planning.
Hypnotic Recipes for Troubled Lives will begin with its premise and a review, examine hypnotic phenomena and utilization, discuss a humanistic slant on diagnosis and treatment planning, and conclude with more specific ideas for effective treatment interventions. It is a workshop ideal for those who have recently taken a basic workshop, and will deepen the understanding of intermediate and advanced practitioners who want a more comfortable grasp of hypnotherapy and its applications.
The workshop will include demonstrations, practice opportunities, and materials to bring home to enhance your own practice. Dr. Voit is known for the clarity of his teaching style and his ability to model empathic and incisive hypnotic interventions. Those who have had prior opportunities to learn from him at ASCH workshops will welcome this chance to be exposed to his current conceptual thinking and style.
Learning objectives:
After participating in this workshop, therapists will be able to:
1. enhance the breadth and depth of trance through naturalistic and humanistic language and rapport.
2. view and diagnose clients in hypnotic terms, by recognizing hypnotic phenomena in everyday and
3. identify symptoms that transcend formal diagnostic categories.
4. plan hypnotic interventions utilizing hypnotic phenomena suggested by symptoms.

Hotel and workshop location and arrangements
We have an unusual arrangement available for this workshop in Cocoa Beach. Both the Courtyard by Marriott and the Hampton Inn share a state-of-the-art conference facility which we'll be using. You may want to choose between these side-by-side hotels depending on whether you participate in one of their rewards programs. The Marriott is slightly more expensive, at $119 a night, than the Hampton Inn, at $109. Both hotels have extremely comfortable rooms, and all amenities at each are available to all attendees. They are within about 200 yards of the beach, close to the Kennedy Space Center, and less than an hour from all the Orlando area attractions. Visit their websites at www.courtyardcocoabeach.com/index.htm and www.hamptoninncocoabeach.com/index.htm. There's an outdoor heated pool, a mineral pool, excellent fitness facility, and a complete hot breakfast. There's Jazz on Thursday and Saturday nights in the lounge as well. This is one workshop where you really might want to bring your family and come a day early or stay a day later, to enjoy what's available both at the hotel and in the area!
