The American Society of Clinical Hypnosis (ASCH) – Approved Level 1 (Basic) Training In Clinical Hypnosis is the first of a series of training workshops that are a large part of the ASCH certification program in clinical hypnosis. ASCH approved workshops are taught by faculty with a wide range of health care experience in various disciplines who will demonstrate and teach workshop participants the concepts, principles, and processes of hypnosis. The workshop is comprised of a mix of didactic presentations, demonstrations, experiential exercises, and faculty led small group practice tailored to the specific needs, interests, and learning styles of workshop participants. At the successful completion of the workshop, participants will have been taught the knowledge and skills necessary to capably use clinical hypnosis and to begin to employ this strategy in their clinical practices. They will also be eligible for ASCH membership and included benefits as well as prepared to participate in Intermediate and Advanced level workshops.
This unique and practical Level one workshop is broken up into two day segments, with a three week break between Part A and B. This new format is based on feedback given from former participants, with a focus on helping participants to integrate clinical hypnosis in their practice in a manageable way. There will be time to practice skills within small groups, and with clients.
Our small groups will be longer than the standard time to allow extra time for questions, demo and practice. A follow up optional consultation group will be offered once the workshop is complete to further help participants integrate clinical hypnosis into their practice. This workshop is pending approval from ASCH for 22 credit hours.
