Hypnosis for Trauma and Chronic Pain

$199.99 Standard

Trauma doesn’t just leave behind emotional pain — it can also manifest in physical pain that drives addictions, stalls progress in therapy, and fuels feelings of hopeless within both the client and clinician. Clinical hypnosis can be a highly effective tool for relieving pain in trauma survivors. Learn a trauma-informed approach to hypnosis that allows you to safely evoke hypnotic states; relieve pain with evidence-based protocols; and elicit a greater sense of hope, well-being, and empowerment in survivors. You may even experience your own transformative trance during recorded demonstrations and experiential activities as you discover how to:

  • Safely guide clients into hypnotic states, effectively frame suggestions, and activate innate healing responses
  • Develop both direct and indirect suggestions for relieving anxiety, pain, and depression
  • Resolve subconscious beliefs that may be maintaining pain states
  • Provide self-hypnosis techniques clients can use to evoke self-compassion, motivate themselves, and stop self-defeating behaviors

Here's What You'll Learn

  • The scientific theories about how hypnosis works and can be used to calm anxiety, relieve pain, and elicit positive emotional states and the APA approved definition of clinical hypnosis, risks and limitations
  • Clinical research findings regarding the use of hypnosis as an adjunct to cognitive-behavioral treatment for pain, depression, and trauma
  • Five basic steps for eliciting effective hypnotic inductions and how to safely use hypnosis with trauma survivors
  • Special considerations with trauma survivors and how to adapt inductions and safely realert clients to avoid abreactions
  • Demonstrate three hypnotic techniques that can be used to reduce pain and increase physical comfort
  • Lorimer Moseley’s and Mark Jensen’s research on pain perception in the brain and how hypnosis can be used to alter pain perception
  • Three commonly used hypnosis techniques that can be used to reduce pain and increase physical comfort
