Presentation Description:

Learn how therapeutic hypnosis can help your clients and patients through this two-day didactic and interactive workshop. This workshop will enhance your professional repertoire and strengthen your practice.

Therapeutic hypnosis can help your clients ease their pain, deal with suffering, and manage their stress.

Theoretical concepts, current research, case material, live demonstrations, and participant exercises will be explored during the workshop. Come prepared for an exciting and thorough learning experience.
