| Harry Stefanakis, PhD, Registered Psychologist | “Anchoring in Clinical Hypnosis” | |
| Anchors are simply stimuli that evoke (have become associated with) particular states. Anchors can accidentally be installed, as in phobic experiences. Anchors can be conditioned through normal life events. The firing of an anchor can elicit either positive or negative effects on an individual. In clinical hypnosis anchors can be set to amplify resources, facilitate emotional state management, and support adaptive behavioural changes. In this session we will practice setting up anchors and collapsing anchors (i.e., neutralizing a negative state with a positive one via anchors). | ||
| Wed. May 22, 2019 | Dr. Bal Pawa, BPharm, MD | “Reboot Your Autonomic Nervous System” (The role of stress hormones on gut, sleep, immune system and more) |
| Dr. Bal Pawa, BPharm, MD, co-founded the West Coast Women’s Clinic for Hormone Health. She is a certified Menopause Clinician, she certified at Harvard Medical School in Mind-Body Medicine, she studied with Dr. Deepak Chopra, and she received further education on the effects of Nutrition and the GUT/Brain connection. She has been teaching at the Faculty of Medicine at UBC for the last 2 decades, and has recently written a book, Stress and the Autonomic Nervous System, to be released later this year. | ||
