Welcome to the Hypnotic Idea Exchange!
Today, as we continue to experience a pandemic of unprecedented scale, clinicians who are skilled in hypnosis possess a powerful tool to help people during these times of crisis and beyond. Also, those who employ hypnosis in their work are discovering a wide range of opportunities to personalize hypnotic ideas, stories, suggestions and metaphors in ways that will help their clients navigate the challenges of today’s evolving crises.These meetings bring together leading experts and practitioners of hypnosis to exchange ideas on what they are doing in their work. It will offer participants: 1) Powerful insights from a panel of experts – ideas that can be readily applied in their hypnotic work as well as their own lives, 2) A forum to practice new techniques and share creative hypnotic ideas of their own with each other and the panel, and 3) A source of professional community and camaraderie during these unprecedented, uncertain and unfathomable times.
