Hypnotically Informed Psychotherapy

Whether you have a background in hypnosis or are simply curious, this course will provide a brief overview of hypnosis and then offer examples of how the principles that underly the processes of hypnosis can be woven into one’s clinical practice regardless of one’s theoretical orientation. Hypnosis has a rich academic and clinical history. The clinician who understands the underpinnings of hypnosis, e.g., how to fixate attention, depotentiate conscious sets, and cultivate unconscious searches, is better able to identify, elicit, and utilize these naturally occurring “states” to make their clinical work more impactful. Much of what skilled clinicians do can be viewed through a hypnotic lens. This program will highlight how what you are likely doing already can be done with greater strategic and mindful intent.
