Friday, February 14, 2025
9am-10:30am PT / 11am-12:30pm CT / 12pm-1:30pm ET
Event held online via Zoom, link to access provided upon registration.
In recent years, the American Heart Association (AHA) has summarized updated research on the connection between psychological health and cardiac health and has published open statements (2021) acknowledging the clear association between psychological well-being and cardiovascular diseases. The potential benefits of psychological interventions in improving cardiovascular health are strongly indicated. Notably, cardiac psychology, a subfield of health psychology, has been burgeoning in a few leading academic institutions. This webinar aims to explore the applicability of various clinical hypnosis techniques with cardiac patients. The webinar will review current research on the mind-heart-body connection, followed by exploring areas of cardiac patients’ well-being where clinical hypnosis techniques can have beneficial impact, using the construct of AHA’s Life’s Essential 8 (2022), 8 metrics substantiated by scientific investigations that serve as significant predictive factors for cardiac health, such as diet, sleep, and physical activity. This will be followed by case examples with cardiac patients, involving using a variety of clinical hypnosis techniques and integrating hypnosis with other therapeutical modalities. Case examples may include using progressive relaxation hypnosis to lower blood pressure, integrating hypnosis and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing for trauma recovery, and using motivational interviewing and age progression suggestions to support lifestyle changes.
