WHEN:  November 18 - 19, 2023 via Zoom

12 Florida CEU's and Credit Toward ASCH Certification

Presented by: David Reid, Psy.D.

Dr. David Reid has been utilizing clinical hypnosis for the past 15 years and teaching Basic, Intermediate, and Advanced Clinical Hypnosis Workshops for  ASCH and SCEH since 2013.  He is a published author, including the Arthur Shapiro award-winning book, Hypnosis for Behavioral Health, as well as peer-reviewed articles on clinical hypnosis. He brings a wealth of knowledge and pragmatic experiences to this workshop.

Clinical hypnosis, whether facilitated by another or self-directed (i.e., self-hypnosis), has been shown to be an effective (and evidenced-based) means of enhancing pain management, panic and anxiety, phagophobia, smoking cessation, and depression. As clinicians, we can evoke therapeutic, conscious and unconscious resources for our clients in many ways, though in this workshop we will explore the practical and intentional application of clinical hypnosis for evoking client resources.

This workshop will provide attendees with opportunities to discuss and formulate hypnosis treatment plans, as well as implement hypnotic interventions (e.g., age regression, age progression, alert trance, posthypnotic suggestions) for the treatment of common (e.g., depression, anxiety, habit control) and not so common (e.g., phagophobia, trichotillomania) troubling and sometimes debilitating human conditions. Furthermore, this workshop, through the use of practical demonstrations, will minimize the apparent gap that exists for many clinicians who lack knowledge, understanding, and strategic application of clinical hypnosis interventions.

Learning Objectives:

At the conclusion of this workshop, participants will be able to:

• Develop a treatment plan including hypnosis interventions for patients presenting with numerous personal challenges. Participants will complete a hypnosis treatment plan for at least two case studies that will be provided by the instructor.
• Construct three metaphors appropriate for the treatment of anxiety, depression, and panic disorder (one metaphor for each condition).
• Construct three posthypnotic suggestions for two case studies provided by the instructor. Participants will observe at least two demonstrations using posthypnotic suggestions generated from a proposed treatment plan.
• Articulate alert hypnosis, including the “Helping Hands” intervention for treatment of unhealthy and unwanted habits.
• Identify three hypnotic interventions that can be used to minimize pain (chronic, acute, and/or procedural).
