Clinical Hypnosis with Bob Dick, PhD

Evidence-Based Clinical Hypnosis for Clients and Ourselves

March 25, 2013

Hypnosis is a powerful evidence-based tool, not a treatment, to empower psychotherapy and medical treatment. Misunderstandings of this tool often prevail because a small minority of therapists or researchers has been trained in this modality. This workshop will de-mythologize hypnosis and demonstrate its use in reducing anxiety, strengthening therapeutic relationships, and enhancing insight, self-support, and positive outcomes. Strategies, techniques, and exercises will be offered to allow participants to experience, understand, and use hypnotic approaches within any model of non-hypnotic therapy.
