Upcoming Clinical Hypnosis Events outside B.C.
While there are many course offerings advertised by “certified” and private “hypnotherapy training institutes”, the Canadian Society of Clinical Hypnosis encourages its members to broaden their experience and training levels by choosing events sponsored by professional organizations such as CSCH (Ontario), ASCH (the American Society for Clinical Hypnosis), and SCEH (the Society for Experimental and Clinical Hypnosis).
Here are links to some Upcoming Clinical Hypnosis Events outside B.C. We welcome postings of upcoming national and international conferences and presentations related to clinical hypnosis (and which are not held in B.C.). Please notify the Executive if you know of upcoming international meetings and professional training workshops of which our membership should be aware.

ASCH-ERF Regional Workshop
May 2-5, 2019
Seattle Marriott Bellevue; Bellevue, WA
(Hotel Information) (on-line registration available) (Workshop Brochure)
In addition to offering the Fundamentals of Clinical Hypnosis and Refining Skills & Treatment Applications Workshops, ASCH -ERF will be offering the following Advanced Workshop in Bellevue, Hypnosis for Chronic Pain Management with Mark Jensen, PhD and David Patterson, PhD, ABPH.
This 20-hour workshop will provide an overview of hypnotic strategies and suggestions for helping individuals better self-manage chronic pain conditions. It will begin with a discussion of the neurophysiology of nociception and pain, focusing on nine specific processes and physiological structures involved in pain perception, and that can be influenced by hypnotic suggestions. Evidence regarding pain’s impact on other functioning domains (e.g., activity level, sleep, mood) will be discussed, and ideas for hypnotic suggestions and approaches for addressing *all* of these domains and processes will be generated. A model for performing a complete evaluation of the outcome domains that hypnosis can benefit in persons with chronic pain will be presented, and methods for developing a pain treatment plan based on this evaluation will be discussed. Approaches to use when a patient is in high distress or anxiety will be described. A hypnotic cognitive therapy approach using open question and reflective listening that can be used to develop effective suggestions and enhance overall treatment benefits will also be introduced. Participants will learn how to do inductions that prepare patients for upcoming stressful medical procedures. An age progression technique for helping clients effectively manage pain will also be introduced. Participants will learn the basics of Ericksonian hypnotic approaches and how they can be used to construct complex, non-linear inductions for use with pain management. The workshop will end with a discussion of the specific hypnotic suggestions that can be used to target specific pain conditions. The emphasis of the workshop will be on applied clinical technique; demonstrations, brief exercises and the opportunity for consultation will be included. After participating in the workshop, participants will have the resources and skills to evaluate a patient with chronic pain for hypnosis treatment, and design a treatment intervention that addresses the various problems identified.
