This webinar aims to define the new phrase of culturally-congruent hypnosis with the hopes that this will spark conversation and thought about how to more deeply tailor hypnosis to unique people given their cultural background. We will discuss our personal and professional experiences as, respectively, a clinician and a researcher who both work with the Latinx population and speak Spanish; we use this experience as a case study to deepen appreciation of the linguistic, beliefs, values and connotations that can enhance the cultural congruence of hypnotic interventions. Lastly, we focus on practical tips and examples for utilizing interpreters to provide accessible hypnosis.
As a result of attending this workshop, we hope that you will have the tools and skills to successfully assess and incorporate cultural factors within hypnotic interventional work.
