How to Safely Use Hypnosis and Visualization with Trauma Survivors

Standard - $69.99 $37.09 Anniversary Sale 2026 - 47% off!

Historically, there have been mixed perspectives about using hypnotic and auto-hypnotic strategies with clients who are dissociative and have a backstory of trauma. We will discuss the ways in which hypnosis and visualization can access these clients; natural abilities to turn inward, while paying close attention to the inherent challenges that can surface when using these modalities. We will process the safest ways to do hypnotic inductions with this population, identifying the potential pitfalls and ways to avoid iatrogenic harm.

Here's What You'll Learn


  • The primary concerns to address with trauma survivors when inviting them to guided imagery or visualization in session
  • The importance of using “indirect” vs “direct” suggestions that are more commonly used in hypnosis
  • Three strategies designed to increase client safety when using hypnosis, visualization, or guided imagery with examples
  • Risks and limitations of hypnosis and visualization with trauma survivors
