    Tue, Apr 02 | Location is TBD December 9 - December 10, 2024 featuring Dan Short, Irving Kirsch, and Dave Gaffney December 9 - 10, 2023 “Hypnotic Suggestion and Positive Expectancies” Registration is closed See other events Time & Location Apr 02, 2024, 10:00 AM EDT Location is TBD About the event Disability Accommodations For additional information or disability accommodations, please contact John Hall, PhD, at 704.258.5553 (text or voice) In traditional hypnosis, suggestion has often been utilized for suggestion’s sake, with procedures such as trance induction or trance deepening used to increase responsiveness to suggestion. The oldest hypnosis theories attribute positive clinical outcomes to compliance with suggestion that is aimed at the removal of “symptomatic” behavior. This all changed when Milton Erickson framed therapy as a problem-solving endeavor and hypnotherapy as a special context for learning and self-organized change. This modern model assumes that that the evocation of unconscious intelligence is more essential to adaptation and overall wellbeing than compliance. Since the turn of this century, the broader field of psychology has begun to emphasize the importance of self-organizing change for neurological health (neurogenesis) as well as emotional thriving (positive psychology). Educational Objectives For Dan Short’s Presentation In this workshop, Dr. Short will share with participants important discoveries from neuro-science, cognitive psychology, the positive psychology movement, as well as clinical discoveries by Ericksonian hypnotherapists, and show how to apply this knowledge to improve therapeutic outcomes. At the completion of the Language of Unconscious Intelligence (introductory) module, participants will creatively apply hypnotic techniques stimulating unconscious intelligence during self-governed practice—demonstrating the target skills during subsequent group discussions. At the completion of the Key Note address (Irving Kirsch), participants will apply a new model for altering response expectancies during self-governed practice—demonstrating this skill during subsequent group discussions. At the completion of the Methods of Unconscious Process (work) module, participants will state the primary findings of at least three studies of neurological wellbeing, emotional regulation, and cognitive thriving. At the completion of the workshop, participants will create a list (at least 3-bullet points) that highlights and analyzes the benefits of unconscious thought/emotional processing and how it enhances creativity, self-determination, and the exercise of choice. Educational Objectives For Irving Kirsch’s Presentation Professor Kirsch will present a talk on the benefits and risks of antidepressants vs alternative treatments for depression. After this presentation, participants will be able to understand: the results of a recent patient-level meta-analysis of all of the FDA antidepressant data the magnitude the difference between the antidepressant effects of medication and placebos the clinical significance of those differences the long-term effectiveness of psychotherapy and hypnosis for depression Educational Objectives For Dave Gaffney’s Presentation Practitioners in dentistry, procedural settings, and Integrated primary care positions struggle with hypnosis due to time limitations—they do not have the luxury of 15-30 minute inductions. This practical hands-on workshop will equip practitioners with brief inductions designed to trigger the deeper hypnotic states needed for procedural intervention, Hypno-analgesia, and Hypno-anesthesia. The first 1/2 will include instruction and practice in using the Elman induction: a specific, proven method for rapidly creating a deep trance state: 1. We first disassemble and then reassemble the Elman induction into a brief (5-10 minutes), powerful induction. The second ½ will be dedicated to learning multiple methods and protocols for eliciting deep rapid trances (trances taking 5 minutes or less): 1. Following Clark Hull's maxim—"anything that assumes trance, causes trance"—participants then practice a mix of verbal and kinesthetic rapid inductions (5 minutes or less) which utilize deep hypnotic phenomena to trigger trance states. 2. Participants will leave with skill in using rapid inductions to quickly prepare their clients for procedural or therapy interventions. At the conclusion of this course, learners will be able to: Demonstrate using the Elman induction to facilitate trance in under 10 minutes. Identify how to use each step of the Elman Induction as either a self-standing induction or a deepener for prior steps. Utilize the Elman induction to reach deep trance according to the Aarons Scale. Explain the use of hypnotic phenomena in eliciting rapid trance. Demonstrate the use of catalepsy to elicit trance. Model a least 1 verbal and one kinesthetic rapid induction appropriate for use with Veterans in the clinical or procedural setting. Discuss application of these techniques across settings.
