Description
Description: Trauma often lives in the body long after the story is told. In this experiential workshop, participants explore how Ericksonian hypnosis can be integrated with energy work, metaphor, and psychoneuroimmunology to support trauma recovery. Through demonstration and guided practice, the presenters show how grounding, chakra-based imagery, and therapeutic touch can help clients reconnect with their bodies, regulate arousal, and access inner resources for healing
Syllabus Description: Metaphor, energetic bodywork, imagery and hypnotic techniques share a powerful complementary relationship. Our state of mind can dramatically influence our health and creative potential. This workshop will introduce participants to the human energy field and specific energy-based healing techniques which when combined with metaphor and imagery, can help replenish the mind and the body as well as manage a wide variety of symptoms including chronic pain, anxiety, depression and PTSD.
Educational Objectives:
- To identify two hypnotic approaches to heighten mind/body connection.
- To describe how to use metaphor and energetic bodywork to positively influence health and creativity.
