This program, when attended in its entirety, offers 1.5 CEs for Psychologists, and 1.5 BBS California CEUs for LPCCs, LPSW, and LMFTs
Workshop Description:
The 2011 Institute of Medicine report Relieving Pain in America: A Blueprint for Transforming Prevention, Care, Education, and Research estimated that 100 million Americans have chronic pain. Over the last 15 years, the primary reliance on and excessive use of opiate medications has created a serious medical crisis. The United States, which makes up less than 5% of the world population, uses 80% of the world’s opiates. Numerous studies demonstrate that dependence on opiate medications leads to overwhelming suffering and disability. Treatment of these conditions should engage patients in daily self-care, gradual conditioning, reducing the guarding reflex around painful areas, and activating self-healing resources. Opiates—especially at high doses— disconnect the brain from the body in a dissociative process, making self-care and activating self-healing resources more challenging. In this webinar, you will learn the role that hypnosis can play in facilitating an ideal healing state to assist in healing two common types of chronic pain: low back pain and headache.
Workshop Learning Objectives:
After attending this intermediate level workshop, participants will be able to:
- State the relationship between chronic pain, central sensitization, and autonomic dysregulation
- Identify 3 essential messages that must be conveyed to enhance self-healing resources
- Define and describe “normal dissociation”
- Identify at least 2 guiding principles for framing hypnotic interventions to migraine headache versus muscle tension headache
- Identify at least 2 hypnotic techniques for directing attention away from the body; and 2 hypnotic techniques for directing attentions towards the body
- Explain why hypnosis is an important modality for accessing subcortically-mediated involuntary processes in chronic pain
