SCEH and the TCSPP are building a recorded library of our webinars, which when completed, will allow on demand viewing of webinars, 24/7. We hope to roll this out later in 2020. This webinar is part of a series of SCEH Webinars on clinical hypnosis. Learn more at: www.sceh.us/webinars

Workshop Description:

To successfully induce the hypnotic state/deliver suggestions, it’s key to understand belief, imagination, concentration, expectation and desire. This knowledge helps you craft the induction necessary for hypnosis to reach the optimal desired state. There are hundreds of inductions therapists can apply including direct/indirect suggestions. The key is finding the right induction for the client.

This webinar will help you identify/craft such an induction and understand how the client’s unconscious mind provides clues as to what is most effective. We’ll also explore repetition; speaking to the client’s exhalation, pace, lead; and how inductions maximize hypnosis for health.

Workshop Learning Objectives:

After attending this intermediate level workshop, participants will be able to:

1. Demonstrate direct and indirect hypnotic inductions

2. Identify the clients inner beacon.

3. Describe the metaphor for utilization.
