Hypnotic Strategies for Evoking the Therapeutic Relationship

6 CEsLive · virtual or in-person

In this workshop, we will examine how hypnosis can be strategically utilized to evoke the three components of the therapeutic relationship: transference, the contemporary ('real') relationship, and the therapeutic alliance. We will review hypnotic strategies from each of these three components with the goal of differentiating when and how to elicit affect, create containment, and utilize rapport from the relationship to guide the treatment process. Participants will learn how hypnosis can serve as an 'in-between' state in which elements of this relational matrix can be utilized to great effect in advancing treatment process and outcome. We will provide applications of hypnosis & the therapeutic relationship in treatment, along with demonstrations.
